Welcome to The After 50 Mic — the podcast where powerful women over 50 pass the mic, speak their truth, and drop the wisdom they’ve earned. I’m your host, Sheila Reynolds — speaker, soul-stirrer, and founder of Born to Flourish — a global movement helping Christian women over 50 rise, heal, and live out their next chapter with unapologetic purpose. Here, we have real conversations with women who’ve walked through the fire, shed the titles, and found their voice again. We talk about identity, faith, boundaries, love, reinvention — and everything we were never taught to say out loud. Because after 50, we don’t whisper. We witness. We testify. And we flourish out loud. So pull up a chair, grab your journal, and prepare for truth that transforms. This... is The After 50 Mic. 🎤
