Let's Talk Ladies: Conversations Across Generations

What does it mean to be an outdoorsy woman? And why are more women embracing adventure, trying new things, and getting outside as they get older?

Meet Sara Stanczyk, boat captain, Instagram star, and the ultimate outdoorsy girl. Raised in and on the water in the Florida Keys, Sara grew up with salt in her hair and adventure as a way of life. Now, as a mom of two young girls, she's making sure the next generation gets to experience that same freedom, confidence, and love of the outdoors.

On this episode of Let’s Talk Ladies: Conversations Across Generations, we explore how women's relationship with adventure and the outdoors has changed over the generations. Our grandmothers may not have been windsurfing, but M.B. learned at 40—and she's hardly alone. Today, women are hiking, surfing, boating, biking, and discovering new outdoor passions well into midlife and beyond.

So what's changed? Are women finally giving themselves permission to be adventurous at any age? Is it about greater freedom, changing expectations, or simply realizing it's never too late to try something new?

And what do we gain when we get outside, push our comfort zones, and show our daughters that adventure doesn't have an expiration date?

It's a conversation about motherhood, confidence, generational change, and the joy of playing outside—at any age.

Because being adventurous isn't just for the young. And the best time to try something new might be right now.

What if everything you learned about sex growing up was wrong? What if you didn't learn anything at all?

Women have spent generations navigating myths, mixed messages, and cultural taboos about sexuality. But how much have we really learned about women, sex, and pleasure—and what are we still getting wrong?

On this episode of Let’s Talk Ladies: Conversations Across Generations, host M.B. Roberts talks with Natasha Senjanovic, an NPR reporter and host of the Women Like Sex podcast, about female sexuality, the misinformation women grow up with, and why honest conversations about sex matter at every age.

From the messages we receive as girls to the beliefs that follow us into adulthood, this conversation challenges outdated assumptions and opens the door to greater understanding, confidence, and connection.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The myths about women's sexuality that persist across generations

• What we're taught about sex—and the questions we're discouraged from asking

• Why female pleasure deserves more attention

• How cultural expectations and stigma shape women's relationships with their sexuality

• What women of different ages can learn from one another

• Why it's never too late to get curious, challenge old beliefs, and learn something new

Whether you're in your 20s, 50s, 70s, or beyond, this conversation is a reminder that learning about sexuality doesn't have an age limit—and that talking openly can help replace shame and misinformation with knowledge and understanding.

Join the conversation: What do you wish you'd learned about sex and sexuality when you were younger?

How has women’s fitness changed over the years, and what does it really mean to be well?

On this episode of Let’s Talk Ladies: Conversations Across Generations, host M.B. Roberts talks with fitness expert Paige Jellison, founder of the PJ7 Method, about women’s wellness, the mind-body connection, and how our approach to fitness evolves as we age.

Paige has trained M.B. herself, so she knows how to deliver the kindest kind of tough love. She’s a force who combines deep expertise in physical fitness and mind-body wellness with a refreshing perspective on what it means to take care of ourselves.

Together, we explore how the fitness industry has changed, why the connection between mental and physical health is still a relatively new concept for many women, and how we can move beyond outdated ideas about exercise and embrace a more holistic approach to wellness.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• How women’s relationships with fitness have evolved across generations

• Why true wellness goes beyond exercise and physical appearance

• The connection between mental health and physical well-being

• How our fitness needs and priorities change as we get older

• Why a little kind tough love can help us show up for ourselves

Whether you’re rethinking your workout routine, navigating wellness after 50, or simply looking for a fresh perspective on taking care of yourself, Paige brings insight, encouragement, and plenty of motivation to the conversation.

Let’s Talk Ladies brings women of different generations together to share experiences, challenge assumptions, and discover what connects us.

What happens when you start questioning everything you’ve been taught to believe?

On this episode of Let’s Talk Ladies: Conversations Across Generations, host M.B. Roberts talks with author Julianna Glasse about her new book, This Is What Happens When Women Read, and her journey from an Evangelical Christian upbringing and marriage–and Christian pop stardom–to discovering the freedom to think for herself.

Julianna opens up about breaking away from the beliefs and expectations that shaped her early life, finding the courage to question what she'd always known, and building a life on her own terms.

We also explore the transformative power of reading—and how books can open our minds, challenge our assumptions, and help us imagine possibilities we never knew existed.

Plus, Julianna shares the story behind attending, then later partnering with Oxford University, turning her passion for learning and ideas into meaningful work.

It's an honest conversation about faith, identity, independence, and what can happen when women give themselves permission to ask questions and find their own answers.

In this episode:

• Julianna's journey beyond her Evangelical Christian upbringing

• Breaking away from the expectations of marriage and religion

• Learning to question established beliefs and trust yourself

• Why reading can be a powerful catalyst for change

• Her partnership with Oxford University

• Finding the courage to create a life that reflects who you really are

Let’s Talk Ladies: Conversations Across Generations brings women of different ages together for honest conversations about life, relationships, identity, and the experiences that connect us. Hosted by M.B. Roberts.

What if the sounds around us could actually change how we feel?

In Season 6 of Let’s Talk Ladies: Conversations Across Generations, M.B. Roberts talks with Nashville-based musician, educator and internationally certified sound practitioner Kayce Laine about sound healing, sound baths, meditation, and the surprisingly powerful act of listening.

A classically trained musician, Kayce studied music at the University of Virginia before becoming a certified sound practitioner and instructor with the Sound Healing Academy, where she now trains students around the world. Her work has taken her everywhere from Soho House and lululemon to MusiCares and The Recording Academy. Her sound-healing recordings have attracted millions of Spotify streams, and she has led live sound baths at venues including the Nashville Symphony.

So, what exactly is a sound bath? Why are singing bowls suddenly everywhere? And can sound really affect our well-being?

Kayce breaks it all down—and shares what she's learned about slowing down, listening differently and creating more space for ourselves.

• What sound healing is—and what it isn't

• What actually happens during a sound bath

• How sound can affect us throughout our lives

• The connection between music, meditation and wellness

• Why sound healing has become so popular

• Some of the biggest misconceptions about sound baths

• How Kayce went from musician to sound practitioner

• Whether sound practitioners use sound baths and meditation themselves

• How sound healing can become a career

• Simple ways to bring more intentional listening into everyday life

• What Kayce would tell a woman in her 20s who is curious about sound healing

Kayce is also the host of Beyond the Sounds, a podcast exploring the intersection of sound healing and entrepreneurship, and founder of the Sound Healers Society, a membership community for sound practitioners.

Whether you're already a fan of sound baths or you're wondering what all those singing bowls are about, this conversation might inspire you to slow down—and really listen.

Season 6 is here — and Let’s Talk Ladies is going to video! 🎥

We’re kicking off a new season with conversations about sex, wellness, friendship, creativity, aging, and the unexpected ways women of different generations learn from one another.

Coming up this season:

• Natasha Senjanovic, podcast host and NPR reporter, confirms that women like sex.

• Paige Jellison, founder of PJ7, joins us to talk wellness.

• Kayce Laine takes us into the world of sound healing.

• Outdoorsy girl Sara Stanczyk (@Sassy.Sarastanczyk) talks about life outside.

• Author Julianna Glasse joins us to talk about her remarkable book, This Is What Happens When Women Read.

And there’s much more ahead!

A Look Back at Season 5

Before we jump into Season 6, we’re looking back at some of our favorite Season 5 conversations.

One of the biggest lessons from making this podcast has been realizing that women never stop learning from one another — regardless of age.

When we started Let’s Talk Ladies, the idea was to share what women in their 50s and beyond had learned with younger women. But younger women have to live their own lives and make their own discoveries.

And we’ve learned that wisdom goes both ways.

Call it reverse mentoring. We call it women learning from women.

In Season 5, we talked about female friendship, justice, forgiveness, career reinvention, creativity, self-care, skincare, menopause, leadership, networking and the importance of women’s stories.

We highlighted memorable conversations with Janvier Christine, Becca Stevens, Moon Unit Zappa, Allison Moorer, Jessica Breanne, Kathy Anderson, Kelly Hoey, Stephanie Richardson, Jean Fruth, Diana Jones, Lorrie King, Erin Piper and Dawn Cunningham.

If you missed Season 5, now is a great time to binge and catch up!

In this episode of Let's Talk Ladies, host M.B. Roberts sits down with Dawn Cunningham—voice artist, singer, trainer, storyteller, and host of the Soul Goals podcast—for a heartfelt conversation about the power of women's stories and why every voice deserves to be heard.

Together, they explore how the stories we tell ourselves—and the stories we share with others—evolve throughout our lives.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Why storytelling is one of a woman's greatest strengths

• How our personal narratives change with age and experience
