THE HIGH-EARNING WOMEN PODCAST

Financial Empowerment and Resilience: Lessons from a Century of Wonder

Jackie Porter Season 1 Episode 17

In this unforgettable episode, we delve into the remarkable story of Razie Brownstone, a 100-year-old woman whose life serves as a masterclass in resilience, creativity, and financial independence.

Joining us is Elizabeth Verwey, the producer of the documentary Raising Brownstone: A Century of Wonder, who shares the powerful lessons she learned from chronicling Rosie’s life, from her self-made wardrobe to the deeply rooted values that guided her through a century of change.

We unpack:

  • How Rosie’s handmade clothes became a symbol of individuality, legacy, and love
  • What financial empowerment looked like in her generation and what we can learn from it today
  • Why community and intergenerational wisdom are more essential than ever
  • A behind-the-scenes look at Elizabeth’s upcoming book, Brave New Endings, and how Rosie’s influence shaped her work

This episode is an invitation to rethink aging, rewrite your timeline for success, and lean into the power of purpose at every stage of life.
