Living Ageless and Bold

Gwen Borden and her daughter, Amy Goober, are a remarkable mother–daughter duo: Gwen is a 94-year-old former teacher, social worker, and pioneering bereavement therapist who co-authored My Mother Always Says: 25 Lessons for Finding the Silver Lining, and Amy is an action coach, successful entrepreneur, and creator of women’s events and travel experiences that empower midlife women to ask, “What’s next?”   In this episode, Gwen and Amy sit down with Christina to discuss how Gwen’s life - from the Great Depression and her sister’s polio, to losing her first husband at 49, building one of the first bereavement centers, and supporting families after 9/11 - became the foundation for 25 powerful life lessons about resilience and silver linings. They share the story behind writing the book together, favorite lessons like “you can’t put your head on someone else’s shoulders” and “there are no bad experiences, just the ones you don’t learn from,” and how Amy’s own journey - opening a bakery with no experience, founding women’s events, and leading Wandering Women travel groups - continues the legacy of strong, optimistic women inspiring the next generation.

Brenda “Maxx” McGee is a former model and longtime union carpenter who spent 27 years working in the trade show industry before launching Gott Street Blues, a workwear brand designed specifically for women in construction. Her background spans fashion, carpentry, cabinet-making, and union leadership — all of which shaped her mission to create functional clothing for women in male-dominated trades.   In this episode, Brenda sits down with Christina to discuss her unconventional path from childhood tomboy to runway model, to being the only woman carpenter on show floors, and now an entrepreneur building a clothing company at 65. She shares how she navigated gender bias on the job, why she revived her decades-old business idea, and the determination behind creating workwear that finally fits and supports women in the trades.
