In this conversation, Leslie sits down with Tamara Hill to explore what it really means to carry our stories into midlife and beyond. Together, they talk about the quiet weight many women hold—unspoken grief, anxiety that lingers beneath the surface, complicated family dynamics, and the lifelong habit of being “the strong one.” Drawing from her memoir in poems, Threads of Becoming, Tamara shares how putting words to pain can become an act of courage—and how reflection can gently transform survival into self-understanding.

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about honoring the threads that shaped you and choosing, with intention, which ones you’ll carry forward. For any woman navigating midlife, retirement, or simply a season of inner reckoning, this conversation offers validation, compassion, and hope. Because after 50, we aren’t unraveling—we’re becoming.
