Grandmothers as Change Makers: Wisdom, Community & Impact


Listen Later

Let's talk about grandmas! Seriously, in this episode, we’re shaking things up and recognizing that grandmothers are not just sweet faces in family photos but powerhouse change-makers in our communities. I’m thrilled to have Lindsay Farrell on the show, who founded the Grandmother Collective. She’s spent years working with young people, but over time, she noticed something was missing—a crucial element that was holding communities together: the wisdom of grandmothers. It’s like, duh, right? Grandmas have been the unsung heroes of our neighborhoods, quietly making a difference, and now it’s time for us to shine a light on them. We chat about how grandmothers are stepping into their power, leading storytelling circles, and advocating for social change. They’re not just sitting back; they’re in the trenches, building intergenerational trust and healing their communities. This episode is all about how you can tap into your own grandmotherly influence, no matter your age or experience. So, whether you’re a grandma or just someone who appreciates the magic they bring, this convo is packed with inspiration and real-life stories of women who are changing the world one step at a time. Don’t miss it!

Takeaways:

  • Grandmothers today are not just family figures; they're community leaders who inspire change.
  • The Grandmother Collective highlights the power of older women in global movements for social justice.
  • Empathy and compassion are key traits for effective leadership, especially in grandmotherly roles.
  • Connecting across generations helps us all redefine aging and discover new opportunities.
