Fireside Rebels with your host Carole Ann Leishman, is a podcast for women in midlife who are done playing by the old rules. We combine the warmth of a cozy fireside chat with the bold grit of a life well-lived. Each episode explores how women are reclaiming their spark—whether that’s through new adventures, career pivots, or radical self-care—proving that midlife isn't a crisis; it’s a revolution. Get ready to ignite your second act!

FOO FIGHTERS in concert kicks ass!
I went to the FOO FIGHTERS live in concert with 60,000 other fans! What a trip! It reminds me that since the band members are almost all in their 50's or 60's, that we can all still be cool and do kick-ass sh!t in our 50's and beyond! Just do the thing! And look super cool doing it! Get out there and shred at something you love doing. And do it just for you! F**k the haters.
