About The After 50 Mic

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. 🎤

   When Faith Becomes Your Anchor: Healing, Hope, and Community Inspired by Nancy Porsenna

   In this episode of The After 50 Mic, we explore how faith becomes an anchor in the midst of grief, especially for Black women over fifty who have long been the pillars of strength for their families and communities. Drawing on the powerful work of Nancy Porsenna, we discuss the importance of honest conversations, supportive spaces like GriefShare, and the role of faith traditions in navigating loss. Discover how community, vulnerability, and spiritual resilience can help transform pain into hope, and why reaching out is a sign of wisdom—not weakness—on the journey toward healing.
