I love how you reframed “badass” from bravado to becoming. The through-line of women choosing themselves, especially after loss or derailment, feels both powerful and deeply human. Your point about age refining courage rather than diminishing it is such an important counter-narrative. Two hundred and forty-four stories later, it’s clear the real lesson is this: power is ownership, not permission.
I am going to save this post and read it when I need a boost!! To remind myself why I do what so do, when the walls feel like they are closing in and I give in to taking on too much. I’m late to the party but glad I have 100s of episodes to listen to!
You're so right. That's what I discovered doing these interviews. When women work to overcome their challenges, they often find their purpose and help others with the same issues.
Fantastic, Bonnie. As one of the women you interviewed I can attest to your open and searching questions... questions that led me to better understand my own journey. Thank you so much for all you do!!

Love your comment! Yes, the real lesson is ownership, not permission.

This is fantastic. Here's to more badass women. May we be them, may we know them, may we raise them!
Thanks. I love your response, "may we be them, may we know them, may we raise them."
I'd add....May we support them.
This is so awesome. Congrats on the podcast!
Thanks! It was fun. I met amazing women and I learned alot.
Wow, congrats on the podcast! I love that you get to meet so many badass women through it.
I think the "secret" lies in women, who face adversity and that catalyses them to discover their purpose and reclaim their voice and power. 🩷🦩

“Purpose Is Often Discovered, Not Planned” 💯
