  • When Life Begins at 70 with Lynn Ruth Miller - 006
    Oct 26 2020

    Lynn Ruth Miller will tell you that the first 70 years of her life did not go to plan. Regrets and disappointments litter decades of struggle to find her place in a society determined for her to fit into what a woman ‘should’ be, rather than what she ‘could’ be. 

    Treated abominably by many people and institutions this little bird of a woman has survived a multitude of things that would have finished off even the most resilient of us...and yet when the majority of people are looking to wind down and sit on the porch this fire cracker discovered what she was always meant to do.

    Lynn found comedy & cabaret at 70 and began showing the world that there is no such thing as being too old to try something new. Today, at 87 she is the oldest female comedian on both sides of the Atlantic and she is still going strong. 

    In this show, Lynn shares all the ups and downs of her comedy career and how it has changed her life. She also talks about the struggles of her early life, how those impacted her journey and how she learnt that to live a good life you have to create it yourself!

    Enjoy!

  • Get Off the Sidelines and Follow Your Dream with Carol Bates - 003
    Sep 14 2020

    As a young girl in the 1970’s, Carol Bates followed her Father around the country as he played football and fell in love with the sport. She longed to kick the ball herself, but at the time accepted that being a football player wasn’t something that women did.

    Carol grew up, had her own children, but her passion for football didn’t diminish, and although her desire to play the game remained unrequited, she managed to find other ways of staying involved.

    It wasn’t until Carol hit middle-age, when most footballers are hanging up their boots and switching to golf, that she decided that it was time to challenge the status quo. Carol benched the shy girl, found her inner rebel and started to make things happen.

    In this episode Carol shares her story and what happened after she decided to shake things up and follow her dream.

    Enjoy!
