Presenter Katja Burkard will soon be celebrating her 60th birthday and describes herself in an interview as happier than ever. In her latest book "60 is the new 60", she tries to take away everyone's fear of getting older. And admits that she suffered from impostor syndrome for a long time.

"Krone": How do you feel when you think about your milestone birthday on April 21? Hand on heart, just anticipation?
Katja Burkard: Yes, really. I'm planning a big party with more than a hundred people and I'm looking forward to it like a little kid because it's going to be really loud and colorful. I've got no reason to be concerned about my age. I'm healthy, fit, happy and grateful for it.
