Blooming Boomers, Late Bloomers of Autumn and Winter Podcast episodes
- Episode 7B - Choices
In the second part of Episode 7, Selima Mumani is Anna's and Mirella's guest. Selima is co-partner with her sister Shairoz in their Arbonne business. She was born in Uganda, spent her childhood in Sweden and then with her family moved to Canada. Selima recounts her decision, as a single woman in her late 40's, to adopt a child, and her family's and community's reaction. She speaks about getting older and such changes as a woman's hair turning grey as viewed through a specific cultural lens and perhaps the world at large. And what are Selima's thoughts on any decisions we make as we get older?

Hosts Anna and Mirella provide a brief introduction, origin and motivation for their Blooming Boomers podcast. They discuss the format of the podcast episodes (sharing their personal views, invited guests, "On the Street" ), the wide range of topics they will cover during the 1-2 on average episodes per month. In each episode they draw from their own authenticity and truth as they continue to remain curious, and learn and grow in these stages of one's life. Join them in this journey. The ultimate goal is to start conversations, to inspire, even to provoke, and, above all, to understand and evolve what it means to be a senior today - someone 50ish and up and up - in the blooming and booming autumn and winter stages of one's life.

About Blooming Boomers, Late Bloomers of Autumn and Winter Podcast
From the publisher's feed
The booming Blooming Boomers, Late Bloomers (and Others) podcast is an Autumn and Winter Productions podcast. The podcast focus is on topics resonating especially with those of us in our 50s and…
well beyond: the booming, blooming Boomers, the late Bloomers, and just us all of us more mature folks: exploring, celebrating, sharing, the wonderful creative and amazing autumn and winter seasons of our lives. Topics are wide-range and include health, travel, dating, making new friends, dress code, bursts of new-found creativity, dealing with loss, retirement, fitness, residential care, dealing with ageism, down-sizing, new careers and businesses, happiness, ageing well, death, quality of life as we get older .... Each podcast is 15-30 minutes in duration and formats include: co-hosts share their personal views on a particular topic; or, invited guest(s) add their input and stories based on their knowledge, experience, challenges, achievements; or, one of the recurring topics like On the Street perspectives on a specific topic from the general public - random passers-by, Pet Peeves, Longevity and Good Health Tid Bits, .... We generally post 1 episode per month (with possible exception during the summer months and December). Some of the experiences and perceptions we discuss are common to us all as we get older, some are very unique as each one of us is. The overall goal of the podcast series is to provide a voice, and even a community, for those of us over 50 years old, in a society that at large tends to minimize these voices and their relevance. We'd like to continue helping to shape the world, to contribute, encourage discussion, to inspire, inform, question, to understand, even provoke and challenge what it means to be an autumn and winter bloomer today in our communities, in our society and in the world in general. During each podcast, we strive to be our authentic selves and share our journeys, so our style is personal, open, curious, sometimes even philosophical, partly our own self-discovery and growth - so please join us.
