About This Podcast
Sharing nuggests of wisdom from women doing brave things during their second act.
I've spent more than 20 years interviewing people for newspapers and brands. Now it's time to share the stories of people that have given me inspiration as I navigate my own second act.
Whether it's moving to another country, starting over in a new town, making friends later on in life, managing grief of trying out a new job or hobby, overcoming challenges keeps us connected, empowered and energised.
I hope you enjoy these stories too!
