PODCAST
YOUR SECOND ACT
My podcast shares nuggets of wisdom from women finding a different way to enjoy their second act.
I've spent more than 20 years interviewing people for newspapers and brands. Now it's time to share the stories of people who have inspired me.
Whether it's moving to another country, starting over in a new town, making friends later on in life , managing grief or trying out a new job or hobby, overcoming challenges keeps us connected, empowered and energised.
I hope you enjoy these stories too!
