Wise Women: Wisdom's Discovery

About Wise Women: Wisdom's Discovery

Wisdom’s Discovery: Finding Your Center at the Edge is a limited-series podcast featuring 20 women reflecting on the experiences that stretched them, surprised them, reshaped them, and brought them closer to themselves. These are not stories of having life perfectly figured out. They are stories of becoming. Of meeting uncertainty, loss, transition, humor, ambition, motherhood, identity, and change, and discovering something worth carrying forward. Hosted by Catherine Jelinek, each conversation offers wisdom drawn not from theory, but from lived experience. Come for the stories. Stay for the moments that make you pause, recognize yourself, and see your own life a little differently. This podcast accompanies the anthology book Wisdom’s Discovery: Finding Your Center at the Edge, created by the Wise Women.
