In this episode of the Stories That Sparkle Podcast, I am reunited with Libby, a woman who was a real rock to me during the four years I lived in Santa Fe, NM, and listen to her share about what led her to go to school in her 70s, what it means to live intergenerationally, and how she struggles through imposter syndrome. It is the kind of chit chat we used to have sitting on the couch in her living room, only this time, we sat outside on a park bench in downtown Santa Fe. No matter where or when, spending time with Libby is always a hoot—a time filled with wisdom, laughter, and truth. I just love her.
This is the eighth recording session of the Discoball Tour and the second one I did in Santa Fe, NM. Extra grateful today for this incredible experience.
So, I invite you to get comfortable, sit back, and listen in.
