What’s been your biggest ah-ha moment on your ageless-aging journey?
And how do you really feel about hormone replacement therapy?

In this encore episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast, three dynamic women come together for an honest, insightful, and very relatable conversation about aging boldly, navigating midlife shifts, and embracing reinvention at every stage.

Originally recorded as part of our fan-favorite Ageless Chat-Fest Series, this conversation explores real experiences around hormones, health, career pivots, creativity, purpose, and what it truly means to keep evolving – without apology.

If you’re questioning, learning, redefining, or simply listening for reassurance that you’re not alone, this episode meets you right where you are.

Encore episode – re-released as we prepare to launch Season 6 next week. YES!!!

Because aging doesn’t mean slowing down – it means showing up differently, and boldly.

What does retirement look like when you decide to live boldly — and write your story along the way?

In this encore episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast, we revisit a joyful, inspiring conversation with ageless author Melanie Dragan, who, at 50+, purchased an RV on Craigslist with her husband and set off on a cross-country adventure — affectionately known as the Dragon Wagon.

That journey became her Amazon best-selling book, The Dragon Wagon Diaries — proof that it’s never too late to step outside your comfort zone, try something new, and share your story with the world.

This episode also marks the launch of a new AGG segment, The Ageless Authors Book Series, spotlighting women who became published authors at age 50+ — women who chose courage, creativity, and curiosity in this season of life.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “Maybe one day…”
• “Is it too late?”
• “Do I really have a story to tell?”

This conversation may be your sign.

And yes — we are now accepting applications for Volume 2 of our Amazon best-selling anthology, Ageless Glamour Girls: Reflections on Aging.

Here’s to healthy aging and joyful living, Luvvies.

In light of the disturbing and seemingly relentless news surrounding child exploitation, abuse, and trafficking, we are revisiting a powerful and deeply moving conversation that feels more urgent than ever.

From high-profile allegations involving public figures to devastating revelations within trusted institutions, the message is clear – this is not isolated, and it is not rare. Statistics show that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys experience childhood sexual abuse. Experts believe the real numbers are far higher, as most cases go unreported. The most vulnerable are children between the ages of 7 and 13.

Our guest, Kyeni Matee (pronounced Chain-ee), knows this reality firsthand.

A professional violinist, youth orchestra teacher, and new author, Kyeni courageously shares her story of abuse that began when she was just seven or eight years old and continued for years. In her book, The Eyes Behind the Violin: Finding My True Identity, she chronicles not only the trauma, but the long road toward healing.

Music became her lifeline. Therapy helped her process. Faith anchored her survival.

This episode is not easy—but it is necessary.

Kyeni’s story is one of resilience, truth-telling, and reclaiming identity after it has been stolen. It is also a call to action. We cannot remain silent. If you see something, say something. Teach children to trust their instincts. Protect them. Believe them.

This conversation honors survivors—and reminds us why accountability matters.
