I made it through about 20 or 30 episodes before del... more

    I CANNOT tell you how AMAZING and refreshing it is to have access to the insight of older women. I've been surrounded by older (and wiser) friends since my mid 20's and it's been radically impactful on my life choices and I'm glad older women now have more and more visibility and platforms to share there stories, experiences and knowledge! Thank you so much for those Gems!
