Meet Marna

About 50 and Me

Hi, I am Marna,

I am a passionate advocate for women rediscovering their spark in midlife.

I’m the creator and host of Midlife Mojo with Marna, a South African television talk show that celebrates women in their 40s, 50s and beyond – their journeys, their wellness, their bold reinventions.

As the founder of the 50andMe platform, I inspire and connect women through meaningful content, brand collaborations, wellness challenges, and live events. Whether it’s running an ultramarathon, curating luxury experiences, or showcasing emerging brands, I do it all with purpose and heart.

I’m also a seasoned endurance athlete: an 11-time Comrades Marathon finisher, Ironman triathlete, and podium placer at national events. My personal story of resilience, reinvention, and energy in the second act of life resonates with an engaged and loyal community across TV, social media, and live platforms.

Some of my proudest moments include:

• Hosting Midlife Mojo with Marna – an uplifting, real, and stylish TV talk show for modern women
• Being part of the amazing cast of Die Brug Season 1 – an Emmy-nominated kykNET reality show filmed in the breathtaking Swellendam forest next to the Jaggersfontein Dam. A life-changing experience where 12 strangers were given the task to build a 250m bridge with their bare hands
• Launching Mojo Unfiltered – a bold filmed podcast diving into the unfiltered side of midlife. Anything from beauty and wellness to relationship reinvention and menopause
• Completing 11 Comrades Marathons and several Ironman 70.3 triathlons, including France and South Africa
• Growing the 50andMe movement into a vibrant community of active, confident, and curious midlife women
• Collaborating with wellness, lifestyle, beauty, and fashion brands who align with my message of empowerment

With a mix of media influence, athletic grit, and warm relatability, I bring a unique voice to every partnership. I love creating beautiful, valuable content that speaks directly to the women I serve.
