Janice and Robin talk about the virtues of being average and  how aging gives us a little more permission to try different things without being great at them.

We also talk about:

 Having the guts to try something new

How Janice took the pressure off Robin when beginning this new podcast

 The fun practice of “dabbling” in something new without expectation of expertise

 Our new motto: “Go for the C!”

Thank you for listening.

Bestselling author Missy Buchanan joins us for a rich conversation about the work of this season of life—learning to adapt to the many changes—not always happily, but joyfully. 

Missy talks honestly about:

• The recent loss of her husband of many years and how grief is like an accordion, expanding and contracting, depending on the day. 
• The mentoring, love, and support she has experienced from older women who have been widowed. 
• Our “special assignment” as older adults and grandparents is to welcome intergenerational relationships, even beyond our own grandchildren.

Guests:  Dr. Glenna Kyker Brayton and Karyn Houser

When Karyn Houser was fifteen years old she ran away from home. Her relationship with her mother, Glenna, was rocky, as Karyn felt Glenna was more concerned with her Navajo students than she was with her own children.

Fast forward forty-seven years and hear how these two women have, in recent years, created a journey toward a caring, loving relationship. In addition, learn tips on how other mothers and daughters can find common ground, renew their bond, and perhaps even express their love for one another.

This episode is sponsored by Snagbag by Karyn.  Find these lovely bags at https://www.etsy.com/shop/SnagbagByKaryn.

As young girls, we were often told how we should look, act, think, and even what we could be when we grew up. Now as older women we are often told similar things by society. This was and is very frustrating to many of us.

This episode will address some of the expectations of aging often foisted upon us by others. The question we have for our audience is, "Will you live into  stereotypes about aging, or will you decide to live the life you choose?"

Thank you for listening.

Welcome to the Restless to Renewed channel! 

We are Robin and Janice, and like other women in our silver years, we want to live a happy, fulfilled life. We have both raised families and retired from our original careers, where we worked as friends and colleagues. One day we were enjoying a lovely lunch together, and our conversation led us to realize that we were both restless and shared a need for something more in our lives. We wanted to continue to use our skills and talents and branch out into new endeavors as we grew older. The next realization was that there had to be many other women who felt the same need. At that point, Restless to Renewed was born.

Join us as we discuss how women in their silver years can take big or small steps to  enable their quest for a happy, fulfilled life.

Thank you for listening.
