As a young woman in my thirties, I’ve benefited so much from my mama’s wisdom about the different ages & stages of life. So in this episode, I asked her to share her wisdom with women everywhere who are going through the four “main stages” of womanhood:

✨ The Maiden (20s & early 30s)
✨ The Queen (33-43ish)
✨ The Alchemist (44-59ish)
✨ The Wise Woman (60-onward)

I ask her questions like: “What do you wish you had known in that stage of life?” “What are some of the common pitfalls or ‘mistakes’ you see women make?” and “What advice do you have for making the most of that season?”

I hope you enjoy this candid mother-daughter conversation, and take something away that can help you enjoy the richness of this season even more… and all the seasons still to come.
