Finding Yourself Again: One Boomer Woman's Journey Through Reinvention, Faith & History | Lee Knapp

What happens when life gently—and sometimes painfully—asks you to rethink everything you believed about yourself? Former history teacher and memoirist Lee Knapp joins Agnes to explore faith, family, marriage, race, identity, and the surprising freedom that can come with growing older. Together they discuss why becoming ourselves is often less about reinvention than revelation. What You'll Hear: Why retirement can become a time of discovery Accommodation versus authenticity Learning from younger generations Returning to the school that transformed her worldview Faith without fear Letting go of perfectionism Family history and difficult truths Late-life romance on your own terms Why curiosity matters more than certainty This is a thoughtful, hopeful conversation about becoming more fully yourself—no matter your age or your past. Note: This conversation includes thoughtful discussion of race, religious authority, divorce, family dynamics, and historical injustice. While approached with warmth and hope, some listeners may find parts emotionally reflective. Learn more about Lee and find all her links at The Boomer Woman's Podcast.
