Turning Soap — and Hope — into Action with Molly Lee

What if finding your voice didn’t happen in your 20s — but in your 50s?

This week, I’m talking with Molly Lee, founder of Optimistic Soap, who discovered activism — and her own courage to speak up — later in life. What began as a creative hobby making soap to unwind after work became something much bigger: a way to fundraise, build community, and take action for the causes she believes in.

Molly’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to step into your power. She shares how the 2016 Women’s March sparked her inner activist, what it means to live with optimism in hard times, and why hope is anything but naïve.

We talk about:

• Finding your voice and purpose later in life

• Turning creativity into a tool for change

• How optimism can be a radical act

• Staying engaged without losing heart

If you’ve ever felt like it’s “too late” to make a difference — this conversation will change your mind.
