What if midlife isn’t about dramatic reinvention — but about noticing the wisdom tucked inside ordinary moments? In this conversation, Lorie shares stories from her book Chai on Life — from belly fat to Billy Joel — and reminds us that life may be difficult, but we can handle it.

In this episode, we explore:

Why personal reinvention doesn’t require a dramatic overhaul
The “one action a day” accountability log
Moving from “horrible” to “handsome” in the mirror
How to invite connection when loneliness creeps in
Forgiveness — including forgiving yourself
Why your life stories matter more than you think

Midlife may be full of transitions — but perhaps the joy really is in the journey.

Listen now and then share this episode!

The Boomer Woman’s Podcast is a conversation-driven show for women who know that life doesn’t stop at midlife—it opens up.
Hosted by Agnes Knowles, the podcast is now in its 7th season and features engaging conversations with guests whose ideas, experiences, and insights are relevant to Boomer women navigating what comes next. Guests may be any age or gender, but their message is always thoughtful, positive, and genuinely useful.
These are not lectures or quick takes. They’re real conversations—curious, open-minded, inclusive, and sometimes unexpected. You might learn something new, rethink an old assumption, or simply feel less alone in the questions you’re asking.
If you’re willing to be curious, tolerant, and open to different perspectives, you’ll feel right at home here.
