    Fun and informative
    I started to listen to The Second Chapter interview with Stephanie Oram, looked at my clock, and 42 minutes had passed! As a woman who’s reinvented herself several times, I enjoy learning from others who’ve changed course in mid-life. Brave to all!

    Everyone needs to hear this
    As I get older I’m always battling this inner voice saying I’ve wasted too much time, wishing I’d started this or that sooner. Hearing these voices of women achieving a new dream, changing gears, it’s something I really need to hear. The important thing - she gets top level guests, and she’s a great interviewer.
  • Mxsandy12
    Perfect female power pod!
    Inspiring and such a great listen!
  • JerseyCarnyGirl
    So friggen important
    LOVE this podcast. Love the host. Love the guests. Love the discussions. We are our stories, and goddess knows, the world needs more of them by and about women!!
  • Postcards and Authors
    Great Interviewing Style
    I’ve listened to a few interviews and have enjoyed them. I’ll be backtracking to listen to more!
  • GettingOldButWhoCares
    A’Lelia Bundles interview
    I love listening to A’Lelia’s stories, and really enjoyed your conversation. Can’t wait for part 2! As always, Kristin does a wonderful job at getting to the best parts of the story. Bravo!
  • AlinaWhoPlaysWithWords
    First time caller, long-time listener
    Just popping on here to say what a beautiful podcast. Especially the first episode of the 4th season. It’s a true gem. 🧡
  • shelby_the_one_and_only

  • WhittyLady
    Can’t get enough! 😍
    Has been on my list for awhile & I’ve already binged the first three episodes! Great pace & excellent discussions with incredibly interesting women of varied backgrounds. I LOVE that no matter how different I am from the person being interviewed, I feel that there is always something relatable & unintended “life tips” that resonate.
  • 2JALGN
    Inspiring
    Hearing the stories of other women of similar age with their varied experiences inspires me to look at all the possibilities available. Kudos to Kristin for following her dreams and helping others do that too!
  • turtle59
    Interesting!
    As a woman who went from stay at home mom to 6 kids for 20 years to a Mac Advertising Graphic Artist at age 45, I can relate in some way to all of these stories. Kristin asks compelling questions mixed with the perfect amount of humor to make it enjoyable as well as interesting. I’m certainly looking forward to future episodes!
  • KatieBinAtlanta
    Outstanding!
    Wonderful job!!! I’ve loved seeing your Slackline productions and I’m really enjoying this next step. Best of luck! Really looking forward to new episodes.
