I’m a woman in my early 40s (and a recovering actress- lol), so this resource has been invaluable. Not to mention it is funny, inspiring, and titillating!! i’m thrilled that a...”Read full review »

“As a 21 year old with a lot of life ahead of me, this podcast is a gift. It’s so lovely to listen to women who have gone through the trickiness of youth and come out on the other side so grateful and enthusiastic about life.
Hearing these awesome women speak to their 21 year old self is so...”Read full review »

“Julia! What were you thinking? Unfortunately, opening with the Sedaris joke (which to be fair is hilarious if you’re not Catholic)guest bombed this interview. I would’ve loved to have heard more about how her career took off again in the second half of her life and navigating the industry...”Read full review »

I love everything about this podcast. Julia is a delightful facilitator of important conversations with women who...”Read full review »

“What a great show! I love listening to the conversations Julia has with these wise women. Julia is charming, engaged, and so funny. Please keep them coming. The Jane Goodall interview is my favorite so far but I’ve enjoyed all of them. I’ve already shared this with four of my favorite women!”

“Every episode is wonderful! I loved learning how Jane Goodall celebrated her birthday on the beach with 90 dogs. That sounds like heaven.
I have always enjoyed Cathrine O’Hara’s talent. Was it just me or did she subtly display a couple of snarky replies to Julia? Disappointing.
Julia however is...”Read full review »

“In the wee hours, here in Australia, of 7 November 2024, after a day of watching hope drain away as the US election results flooded in, I felt bereft, so I listened to Julia LD’s chat with Catherine O’Hara. Another stellar interview, of course, but what lifted me out of my pit of depression more...”Read full review »

“Excellent premise. I’m adoring Julia’s interviewing style and questions. Feeling very positive about aging and hearing from these wonderful women. Update: loosing some of its sparkle though. And why using such young photos of guests when they’re supposed to be celebrating old age?!”

“The concept of this podcast is genius - garnering wisdom of the women who have come before us, and it hits so well when done but the wise and funny JLD. I love hearing from all of the amazing women on this show. It’s insightful in an empowering way. And it’s intimate in a kind and truly wise way....”Read full review »

“This is a lovely, thoughtful podcast. However, why sooo many ads? I understand the requirement for some, but this is over the top. As such, I only listen if the guest is someone I really want to hear. And yes, there’s a paid, no-ads option, but it’s not worth $69.99/year US.”

“I’ve been enjoying this podcast since the beginning. What finally inspired me to write a review was the debrief with Julia’s mom after the episode with Nina Totenberg. I was walking in a public park, literally laughing out loud at the frog/fraud confusion. Haven’t laughed that hard in a while.”

How tacky.
How carnival.
