Corey Haim’s Sister— HER story: Reinvention at 51, Filmmaking, Comedy & a 15-Year Infertility Battle

What if the thing you're meant to do still hasn't happened yet? In this inspiring episode of The More Than Your Age Podcast, host Erica Pasvar sits down with Cari Haim—a 55-year-old actor, breast cancer survivor, and new stand-up comic—to talk about reinvention, rejection, and reclaiming your voice at any age. Cari shares her early experience as a teen actor and the complicated reality of having a famous last name (yes, she’s the sister of the late actor Corey Haim). She opens up about the pain of infertility, her unexpected breast cancer diagnosis, and the emotional rollercoaster of aging in an industry that glorifies youth. Rather than give up, Cari found new creative outlets: from launching a quirky food-themed podcast with friends (Order Up!), to stepping onto the stand-up comedy stage—using cancer and aging as her comedy material. Her story is filled with resilience, humor, and hard-won wisdom. Whether you’re 35, 55, or 75, Cari’s boldness will encourage you to try something new, speak up, and take that next step—even if you’re scared. 💬 Highlights & Takeaways: Why starting stand-up comedy at 55 was both terrifying and freeing Her philosophy: “The audition is the job. The booking is the bonus.” Navigating ageism and invisibility in the entertainment industry How cancer taught her to laugh through the hard things—and share her story The story behind her food podcast Is a Hamburger a Sandwich? and how saying “yes” led to new community Her mindset for overcoming fear: “You’ll be 60 with the thing… or 60 without it.” Powerful reflections on identity, aging, and why your voice still matters Her message to women: “You’re going to be older anyway—so just do the thing!” Why she refuses to lie about her age in an industry that often expects it Her advice to women who feel “too old” to chase a goal or try something new 🔗 Mentioned in the episode: Follow Cari on Instagram:   / cari_haim_actor_writer   Cari's podcast: Order up!
