    Still Sensual. Still Becoming.

    What if sensuality didn’t disappear with age… but actually deepened? In this episode of Girl, I’m Making It Through, Tracy Marchelle sits down with author, speaker, and book festival founder Donna Banks, a vibrant woman in her 70s who is living proof that confidence, creativity, and sensuality don’t retire. This honest and powerful conversation explores what it really means to continue becoming — at every stage of life. Together, Tracy and Donna talk about aging, sensual confidence, relationships later in life, and the freedom that comes from finally being comfortable in your own skin. Because the truth is… you don’t age out of desire, creativity, or living fully. You evolve into it. In this episode we talk about: • Why many women over 50 misunderstand their desirability • How sensuality evolves as we age • Finding confidence in your body and your voice • Navigating relationships and companionship later in life • Why women must stop shrinking themselves as they get older • The beauty of becoming better than you were About Donna Banks Donna Banks is the founder of a major book festival and the author of the Ila’s Diamonds erotic suspense series. In her 70s, she continues to write boldly, speak honestly, and encourage women to live fully, unapologetically, and with intention. 🎙 Subscribe for more conversations about life, growth, relationships, healing, and becoming better than we were.

    The Woman I Wear

    There comes a point in a woman’s life when she realizes it’s not just about the clothes — it’s about how she feels in them. In this episode of Girl, I’m Making It Through, Season 2: Better Than I Was, I sit down with Robyn of RH Image to unpack how image shapes confidence — especially during seasons of change. We talk honestly about the quiet disconnect many women feel when they look in the mirror, and how style can either hide us or help us show up more fully. Robin shares insights from years of styling women across different ages, professions, and life stages. With her background in fashion merchandising and makeup artistry, she explains how wardrobe choices, color, and quality pieces can support confidence in real life — not just for special occasions, but for everyday presence. This isn’t about trends. It’s about alignment. We explore: How mood shows up in the way we dress The difference between comfort and hiding Why confidence doesn’t have to come before intention And how to dress for the woman you are now — not who you used to be If you’ve ever felt “off” in your own image, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes growth isn’t loud. Sometimes it shows up in how you choose to be seen.
