Hit life's pause button in order to discover your authentic path
AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
There’s so much advice out there for women in midlife, it can be overwhelming. We’re supposed to say “yes” to things that challenge us and scare us so that we can grow. Then, we’re supposed to say “no” to anything that doesn’t serve us and depletes our batteries. It’s hard to figure out what the right path is when we get so many conflicting messages. In this episode, we talk to two women who have been doing the work, trying to figure out for themselves how to evolve into the next phase of their lives with purpose and honesty. They did what a lot of us do; they took a class,...

Financial literacy is for everyone; that means you, Girl!
AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
It sounds like a stereotype—women not being involved in the family finances, so much so that when something catastrophic happens, like a divorce or a death, they don’t know where to turn. Surprisingly, many women are still in the dark when it comes to financial literacy, either because they’re simply not interested, or they allow their partners to do the heavy lifting in this area. Even as the child of a divorce lawyer, you would think I would have taken the time to understand the financial world as a young adult. But, I actually didn’t do it until I was forced to when my mother got...

Dating in midlife requires a good bullshit detector, a big dose of patience, and a healthy sense of humor
AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
Dating in midlife is not for the faint of heart. I’ve been listening to many friends over the past few years who found themselves suddenly single and decided to dip their toes into the dating pool again. Let’s face it, a LOT has changed, including how we meet the people we date. Most of these meetings happen online, a place where it’s easy to deceive others into thinking that you are someone you are not. Often, when the date does show up in person after an online courtship, women realize this man was not who he said he was. In short, women in midlife must kiss a lot of frogs on their way...

AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
I'm so excited to share my new thriller novel with you. It is set in the North Carolina mountains and follows the point of views of four characters as they unravel the mystery surrounding a missing hiker in the deadly terrain.

My plan is that "Whispers on the Mountain" will be the first in a new ficton series. This is my thirteenth book. To learn more about the book and how to...

Singer Brooke Hatala agrees that parenting a rising star without dimming their light requires love and patience
AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
If you’re a parent, you know the drill—shuttling your kids to and from activities after school and on weekends. Whether they’re involved in sports or creative pursuits like dance or theater, you’re their guide, their constant companion, their rock, and their safety net. We do it all out of love, but sometimes the demands can be even bigger than we imagined. Take young performers, for instance. Parenting a budding professional musician elevates these demands to a whole new level. Today, we’re chatting with a mother-daughter duo who transformed an 11-year-old girl’s passion for...

Creator of Kenda Kist jewelry is dedicated to mentoring, empowering women, and aligning her values with her art
AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
As women, we’re always looking for ways to update our style, to add more creativity and more fun to our looks and our lives. Our style is more than just the picture we show the outside world; it’s a reflection of who we are and who we are becoming. This is especially critical for women in midlife when we are seeking ways to redefine ourselves. Something as simple as embracing small style changes can help us on this journey to becoming our authentic selves. A big part of this style transformation is how we use accessories—specifically jewelry-to make a statement about who we are. In this...

Grief: The emotional journey through loss and how it changes us
AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
We first learn about grief as children when a pet dies or a grandparent. But as adults, we’re supposed to buck up and go on with life after profound losses like the death of a parent, a spouse, a friend, or even a child. This is an unrealistic expectation. In this episode, we’re going to have a frank discussion about grief and how it manifests itself in our adult lives, weeks, months, and sometime years after a loss. I speak with a woman who lost both parents in less than a year and spent years trying to recover. I also speak with an expert who shares techniques for handling grief, giving...

AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb

We unpack everything from quick, realistic workouts, to diet, and even weight loss drugs. Kerstin and Kayla share their personal journeys in an...

Wild Ambition: together, women can accomplish anything
AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
One of my favorite quotes is the African Proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” I’ve realized that when women come together we are capable of just about anything. I see this in the workplace, in volunteer organizations, and in social groups meant to build belonging and community. But most of all, it’s been a constant theme in my podcast. AGELESS started out profiling individual women, their struggles, their resilience, and their accomplishments on the other side of the obstacles they overcame. But it’s grown into something much greater. It...

Caregiving for aging parents: How to protect your own physical and mental health in the process
AGELESS: Opening Doors With Amanda Lamb
About 53 million Americans care for a spouse, an elderly parent, another relative, or a special needs child. Often, the call to caregiving for many of us is a big surprise when a loved one faces a sudden illness or has an accident. We don’t have time to plan. Frankly, we don’t have time to think about it, we just DO it. It’s a skillset that doesn’t come naturally to everyone, yet we rise to the occasion because we have no choice. Chances are we will all face this at one point or another in our lives if we haven’t already, especially if you are in midlife and your parents are getting...

But it’s grown into something much greater. It is a platform for new ideas, life transformation, and yes, for community among women. In today’s episode, Anne Hungate and Andrea Mohamed talk about casting off the safety and toxicity of corporate America in favor of going together down a business path that lifts women up. Their company is called “QuantumBloom,” and their lives have definitely bloomed since teaming up for this inspiring adventure.
