    Ep. 112- She Learned the Harp in her 40s, an Undergrad Degree at 60, and Now a TV Pilot at 75 with Julie Cunningham
    Feb 10 2026
    In this inspiring episode of The More Than Your Age Podcast, host Erica Pasvar sits down with author Julie Cunningham to explore a life shaped by tradition, transformed by adversity, and redefined through courage.Raised with strong cultural expectations about what a woman’s life “should” look like, Julie followed a conventional path of marriage and motherhood — until life took unexpected turns. She opens up about the emotional impact of divorce, the difficult yet transformative journey of rebuilding her identity, and the inner work required to heal and move forward.Rather than shrinking in midlife, Julie expanded. She returned to school at the age of 60, rediscovered her passion for writing and music, and stepped boldly into authorship. Today, she’s even helping develop a TV pilot based on her memoir, Mama Was a Hippie — proving that reinvention doesn’t have an expiration date.This conversation is for women navigating divorce, rediscovering purpose after 40 or 50, returning to education later in life, or breaking free from societal expectations. Julie’s story is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t stop with age — and neither do your dreams.If you’ve ever felt limited by your past or your circumstances, this episode will encourage you to redefine what’s possible.Because you are always more than your age.In This Episode, We Discuss:How cultural expectations shape women’s early life choicesMarriage, motherhood, and identity shiftsThe emotional impact of divorce and the path to healingReturning to school later in lifeDiscovering (or rediscovering) creative passionsWhy it’s never too late to start overRedefining yourself beyond societal labelsBuilding a meaningful legacy through writingKey Themes✨ Reinvention after divorce ✨ Emotional healing and growth ✨ Returning to school after 40 ✨ Becoming an author later in life ✨ Women redefining age expectations ✨ Finding purpose in midlife ✨ Creative fulfillment at any stage📲 Connect with Julie CunninghamFacebook: @juliecunninghamWebsite: https://www.juliecunninghamauthor.com/Julie’s Books on AmazonConnect with EricaEmail // Facebook // Instagram // Linkedin // YouTube***This Podcast is NOT sponsored.

  • Ep. 106- First Time Runner at 47, Six Star Finisher Before 60 with Robyn Godfrey

    Ep. 106- First Time Runner at 47, Six Star Finisher Before 60 with Robyn Godfrey
    Nov 18 2025
    In this inspiring episode of The More Than Your Age Podcast, Erica Pasvar sits down with Robyn Godfrey—six-star marathon finisher, author of Running the World, and a wonderful example that it’s never too late to start something new at any age. Robyn didn’t grow up an athlete. In fact, she describes herself as a “clumsy teenager” who never imagined she would one day run marathons across the globe, face intense setbacks, support a chronically ill spouse, and still find her way to the finish line—again and again.Robyn shares how she began running in her late 40s, starting with just 30 seconds on a treadmill. That tiny first step turned into a life-changing journey that led her to the London Marathon at age 50, a goal to run all six World Major Marathons before 60, and ultimately becoming a World Marathon Majors Six Star Finisher.But this episode is about far more than running. Robyn opens up about the emotional and mental toll of caring for her husband during a life-threatening illness, navigating isolation, juggling work, and still holding onto her goals. She talks honestly about setbacks—knee injuries, doctors who told her to stop running, the COVID shutdown that canceled the Boston Marathon, and even running her virtual race amid Idaho wildfires. Through every obstacle, Robyn’s determination, humor, and belief in small, consistent action carried her through.You'll hear how she created her “30-Second Shift” mindset (inspired by James Clear’s work in Atomic Habits), what discipline really means, and why claiming your identity — “I am a runner,” “I am a writer,” “I am a beginner,” — is the key to lasting change.Whether you are an athlete, a dreamer, a woman navigating a hard season, or someone who feels “too late” to start something new, Robyn’s story will reframe what’s possible. This conversation is a reminder that you are never too old to dream another dream, and the smallest step can change everything.🔗 Links & Resources MentionedRobyn’s Book: Running the World — available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and as an audiobookRobyn’s Instagram: @robyn.godfrey.speakerRobyn’s Website + Speaking Requests: https://robynGodfrey.comAtomic Habits by James Clear (Referenced): https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits ⭐ Key TakeawaysStarting small — even 30 seconds — can create life-changing momentum.Identity drives discipline: you become what you consistently show up for.Caring for someone through illness requires emotional, mental, and physical support—and a support system for yourself.Obstacles (injury, canceled races, pandemics, doubt, age) don’t need to end your goals; they can reshape them.The running community can become a tribe, a lifeline, and a source of purpose at any age.You’re never too old to dream, begin, or reinvent.Connect with EricaEmail // Facebook // Instagram // Linkedin // YouTube***This Podcast is NOT sponsored.
