Small Steps Daily

Small Steps Daily

By Stephanie Fowler

I'm a recently retired educator taking small steps daily in life, work, and home as I settle into retired life.

But also (IYKYK) as someone who started a small business after retirement and got burned with online business and motivational courses from "biz and motivational gurus," I'll be going down rabbit holes with this topic, too.

NOTE: This podcast was formerly Women Aging Awesomely, so the first 45+ episodes are from that era. I briefly changed to Curiosity Got Me before settling on Small Steps Daily. #squirrelbrain
