Such a Great Idea For a Podcast!

I will remember this podcast! I love the concept, as I'm a 52 year old woman who works with older women, and have always enjoyed their stories and all of the wisdom and inspiration I've gotten from them. Every guest was fascinating and Julia is so real and did an amazing job all around! I love the final chats with mom! I had no idea who the last guest was going to be and was thinking, she needs to interview Carol Burnett! Imagine my surprise when that's who it was! Keep doing this podcast! Please! Just wonderful! someone needs to do one for the men now!

The World Needs This

This is definitely the best podcast I've ever listened to, and I can't wait for the next season to drop. Thank you, Julia, for inviting us to "get wise" with you.

Tremendous!

I have never enjoyed a podcast so much from the opening anecdotes to the interviews themselves and the follow up calls to her mother. Julia is so relatable and connects so completely to the people around her. Please please please do another season.

Hearing women connect

listening to Carol Burnett was a gift. Julia's mom gifting Julia kind words made me tear up. Julia's and her mom are a positive example on how women connect.
