I talk to ladies over 80 about their lives - struggles, triumphs, any wisdom they would like to offer. I believe we don't value our elders as much as we should or used to - especially women. This podcast helps shed a light on the stories of everyday, extraordinary women.

    Sallie

    Sallie and I met at the US Masters Swim Team practices and I knew at once I had to interview her. She’s a smart, funny and kind woman with a lot to say.   It’s always interesting to me to hear what these women think was their greatest success. Spoiler alert - it always has to do with family.

    Ethel

    By the time your hearing this episode, Ethel is at least 97, as all of these interviews took place before the pandemic.  Ethel is a marvel to me. She had a rich life of family, work and travel.  I met a few of her younger family members while there - it was heartening to see her with family and cracking sarcastic jokes.  And her direct and SUPER dry nature - I just love it.  She knew what she wanted and she made it happen. I appreciate her conviction. What did you think?   Join the conversation on our Facebook Page! I would love to know what you thought of Ethel's story.
