All three women share how their friendship has carried them through some of the most challenging times in their lives. This podcast is a true celebration of life over 60!

Yeah, yeah, it was tough. I mean, you know, for some unknown reason, I felt like I had to prove to the world I was Superwoman, that I could do it all. And I could do it seamlessly and effortlessly. And you know what, it takes a toll on you. Because you never seem to sort of just relax and enjoy the moment. And if I had to go back and change things I wish I could have just not been so focused on trying to get things done, and making sure the house was perfect. And the kids were perfect, and everything was done perfectly. And the meals were perfect. You know, I wish I had been able to take a breath and just say, You know what, let’s just sit back and veg out and talk to the kids more, do things more with them? That’s probably one of my biggest kind of regrets.
