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.

Brenda Cumby McGee – aka Maxx McGee – is that fabulous dichotomy of fashion model and union carpenter. She was also a trail-blazer for women in the trades.
Today, Maxx explains:
-
How those two parallel careers originated
-
Her covid success story
-
How things have changed for women in the trades in the last 30 years
-
Women in a traditionally male environment “sisters in the brotherhood”
-
“The Pant”
-
The process of getting a clothing concept from idea to market
-
And, of course: Ageism!
I really appreciate Maxx’s advice for us Boomer Women if dealing with a granddaughter who prefers tools and trades over more traditional “girl” careers.
Listen now and then share this episode!
