2025 is the 6th Season of The Boomer Woman’s Podcast. Each episode is a conversation between me – I’m Agnes Knowles, your host – and a guest who talks to a subject that, someway, somehow, is relatable to Boomer Women. The guests can be any age, any gender, as long as their message is positive, informative, pertinent to our demographic. You, dear listener, might need to be open-minded, curious, tolerant, inclusive… and if you are, you will enjoy these conversations, maybe learn something, and I encourage you to share each and any episode!

Agnes is pleased to introduce you to Judith Pratt-Jefferies, author of Permission Granted: How To Find and Follow a Path to a Life True to Your Self.
A number of years ago, Judith decided to put paid to her "successful" life and create her "fulfilled" life. and has never looked back.
She wrote a book with stories about her adventure/endeavour as encouragement for those of us who dream of doing something similar.
She shares some of the highlights of her decision with Agnes today.

Two Boomer Women lost some time lately with Agnes' move, so this episode was recorded Friday right before they poured drinks and recorded Pissed on Podcast (hence the references).
The move is done - no catastrophes but that doesn't stop them from discussing the subject.
Agnes' new client is blind - let's ponder that concept, which segues nicely into care facilities.
Covidiots and buses, hot dogs are monster meat.
Is Facebook a spoiled brat?
What's to be done about over-authoritarian authority?
Just another conversation with Two Boomer Women!

Flashback: Short episode today as Agnes was in move mode. That said, it could have been longer but both women were in sigh-mode and most of that has landed on the cutting room floor.
MS is an HSP.
Deja vu - Agnes' move was imminent, and is imminent - this year however she is looking forward to her new home.
Tiny abodes.
Mar Sulaika is advocating for her mother which segues to in praise of 'simple'.
Finally, as if a move wasn't enough... wait for it, Agnes got to add to her move glee. trauma?

Agnes is moving.
Mar Sulaika has been without internet for 36 hours.
Does COVID make English school even more important?
Mar Sulaika makes a fashion statement when she finds herself without a mask!!!
"tired" reigns supreme today.
Discussions around POP - either Agnes does't explain things well, or Mar Sulaika had her Luddite cap on... but on to a real POP subject: drinks of choice (there's something about meeting late afternoon)
Mar Sulaika questions Agnes' organization around the move.... hahahahaha!!!!!
Finally, the "move to" of choice given we may be mid-60s but we still see possibilities - hope you can identify.

Agnes promises not to be moving again this time next year!
MS appreciated the generation of doctors who actually touch their patients... gardening therapy... old people and catheter bags...
So many reminders of how we took so much for granted before COVID.
Opinions on cab companies; Agnes climbs onto her soapbox about some care aides and then they both ruminate on care facilities for their generation.
The Nature of Things: distortions in memory...
A short lesson in cyber security (timely given the goings-on at the CRA).
