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.

An extra-long episode today – that’s what happens when Agnes gets chatting with a history educator and Barbara has so many thought-inspiring insights!
Barbara Mojica explains how history is in every part of our life – family, place, customs, society. Both an historian and an explorer, Barbara brings history to life, even on podcast.
As an educator, Barbara brings an interesting take on the job of teaching today and how children learn.
Barbara talks about children becoming the leaders of tomorrow, and being critical thinkers… she explains the correlation between history and critical thinking and tomorrow’s leaders. Which does, of course, lead to a discussion of search engine use and social media and algorithms in getting information.
Cultural history is important as a family reference, but also from a global perspective, why other people may be different because of their cultural history. Encouraging children to see the good and the bad of a family’s cultural history is important as the world continues to change at a rapid pace.
Be a lifelong learner… as adults and, as adults, teach the children to be also… including sharing what you’ve learned as the elder.
A bonus question at the end might be interesting to anyone interested in writing children’s books.
