WISDOM AT WORK: Older Women, Elderwomen, Grandmothers on the Move!

Ilana Landsberg-Lewis hosts this bimonthly show about older women who are making real, tangible contributions to their communities and the wider world -- often as activists, organizers, and changemakers working on issues they have cared about for decades. The focus on what she calls Grandmother Power gives the show a distinct angle that no other podcast in this category really has. These are not soft conversations about aging gracefully or finding inner peace; they are about women who are pushing for social change, challenging systemic injustice, and mentoring the next generation while doing it all simultaneously. With 87 episodes, the show features women from remarkably diverse backgrounds -- recent guests include policy advocates, street-level protesters, and community leaders from multiple continents. Ilana has a gift for drawing out the personal motivations behind public work. She asks why someone keeps fighting at 70 or 80 when they could easily retire, and the answers are consistently compelling and sometimes surprising. The podcast holds a 4.7 rating on Apple Podcasts, and reviewers highlight her ability to make conversations feel both intimate and genuinely important at the same time. Episodes run about 25-30 minutes, which is a nice focused length for this kind of interview. The show fills an important niche by celebrating older women not just for their personal growth journeys but for the collective, measurable impact they continue to have on the world around them.
