In this heart-opening episode, I sit down with visual artist and author Moya Aiken to explore what it means to live a creative, meaningful life especially as we age. From growing up in an Irish family in a tough English housing project, to realizing her dream of moving to America and becoming a working artist, Moya shares her story of grit, grief, and grace. 

• How creativity has been her driving force since childhood
• Believing in “the best is yet to come” in her 60s
• Being widowed in her early 30s and raising a child as a single mom
• Her journey through grief and reinvention
• Publishing her memoir Shoulder
• Finding purpose in art, and how intrinsic motivation fuels her work
• The importance of making bold choices at any age
• Why it’s never too late to start something new

If you’re a woman in midlife or beyond craving inspiration, artistic encouragement, or permission to pursue your own creative dreams, this conversation will move you deeply.
