Turning 51 was a journey.  

In this opening episode of Season 3, I take some time to reflect back on the success of the first 50 episodes making up Season 1 and Season 2.   I want to thank all of the incredible women who've shared their inspiring stories.

The first 2 seasons of the 50, Not Dead podcast were about connection and storytelling.  Providing a platform for women 50 and older to share their personal perspectives, stories and experiences, of what it is like to be a woman in her 50's, or beyond, in today's society.   I have made some fantastic friends along the way, and some of the guests have now made friends and connections with each other, too.

Diving into Season 3, get ready for a slight shift.  Of course, we still have extraordinary women sharing their stories and perspectives, and additionally, in this season I let my guests know that I'll "be listening for coachable moments".   

We've got remarkable women facing fears, taking risks, and making big pivots; and in some instances, the catalyst for those decisions....are right here, in this podcast.  

Get ready for some stories of transformation. 

Remember, We're 50, and We're Not Dead Yet.  Can't wait for what's to come!
