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.

A longer episode today - with the profile of COVID-19 we had to contribute. We're both over 60 and Mar Sulaika has a mom in care. We get into the use of technology during this time, of course Agnes is pro and Mar Sulaika maintains her Renaissance mindset, but it's still a + in the conversation column. Part of the tech discussion was the subject of loneliness which led to toilet paper and to taking care of your neighbours. We have no shortage of subjects to link together!
Only links today are COVID-19 facts:

Classic Agnes and Mar Sulaika here: how festive dinners morphs into language and grammar, order vs chaos, Mardi Gras, drinking and of course the natural progression of conversation ends up with dust bunnies!
Get yourself a glass of wine even though our chat was too early to handle wine of our own!
Agnes mentions a meditation app: it's Breethe at the app store.

You'll soon learn that our conversations can travel all over the map (and today, literally). Discussion about birds in distress and ducks nesting somehow led us to Mar Sulaika's journalism days in Cyprus. While we don't have a link to Peter's pictures yet, the link to Mar Sulaika's website is below.
Agnes loves to mull over / brainstorm business ideas for people and Mar Sulaika was the obvious victim today. After several years online, it was easy to throw some ideas out for consideration and Mar Sulaika, bless her, was all ears as anything tech is not in her bailiwick.

Agnes and Mar Sulaika met by accident in the world of ElderCare-giving. Their so-different histories created a friendship and their firm belief in the lost art of conversation created a bond.
Now they join forces to pursue their talents and strengths, individually and jointly. No topic is immune to their discussion. Pour yourself a glass of wine, come eavesdrop, and join the conversation at https://twoboomerwomen.com/join-the-conversation/ whenever you wish.
