Taking the Leap at 40 with Tamar Mendelssohn

Life Unscripted with Julie Lauren

In this episode of Life Unscripted, I’m joined by my dear friend and talented fashion stylist, Tamar Mendelssohn, who recently made the bold decision to uproot her life in Houston and start fresh in Los Angeles. Tamar shares her journey of taking the leap at 40, navigating the challenges of moving to a new city, and how she’s thriving both personally and professionally in the fast-paced LA fashion scene.

We dive deep into the fears, doubts, and triumphs that come with making such a significant life change, especially at a stage when most people are seeking stability. Tamar opens up about the personal growth she’s experienced and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

But it doesn’t stop there—we also chat about the realities of dating in LA, Tamar’s fresh perspective on relationships, and her expert styling tips, including what to wear on a first date to make the best impression.

Whether you’re contemplating a major life change, curious about dating in LA, or just looking for some style inspiration, this episode is packed with insights, advice, and a whole lot of real talk.
