Talk to Kim

In this episode of the Midlife with Courage Podcast, Kim interviews Lisa Cheek, a former film editor turned writer.

Despite facing age discrimination in her career, Lisa found courage and happiness in new opportunities. She discusses the challenges and rewarding experiences of filming in a foreign language, her passion for storytelling, and the importance of living in the moment.
