Hello again! It's been a while. I'm Agnes, host of The Boomer Woman's Podcast, where I have conversations about reinvention, healthy aging, relationships, purpose, and the many unexpected plot twists that come after 60. Looking forward to meeting thoughtful people and learning from your stories.
At 21, Chris Donaldson left Belfast on a motorcycle headed for Australia.
He went spectacularly the wrong way — and finally arrived 43 years later.
This Revisit: motorcycles, adventure, aging and the occasional value of a wrong turn.

What are you retiring to?
Paula Panariello went from “Who am I kidding?” to calling herself an author after retirement. We talk reinvention, curiosity, imposter feelings, new skills — and excellent advice from her 100-year-old aunt.

Taru Fisher was 81 when we talked about ageism.
Not just elder speak and assumptions about older people—but the ageism that slips out of our own mouths:
“I’m too old for that.”
Three years later, I like this conversation even more.

What if “this is just who I am” isn't actually true?
Craig Meriwether and I talk hypnosis, old beliefs, regret, roads not taken—and whether we can change patterns we've carried for decades.
The encouraging bit? Change doesn't come with an age limit.
