What happens when two women decide to start a podcast with no guarantees anyone will listen? Nearly 150 episodes later, and with listeners in over 80 countries, the answer is more incredible than either of us imagined.
In this special solo episode of the Girls Talk Healthy Aging Podcast, co-host Shawna Kaminski takes you behind the scenes while Alli Kerr recovers from her recent total hip replacement surgery.
Shawna shares the story of how the podcast began, why they committed to showing up every week, and what it's really taken to build one of the most trusted conversations in women's healthy aging. She also reveals surprising podcast statistics—including how few shows ever make it beyond a handful of episodes—and reflects on what it means to be approaching 150 episodes together.
You'll also hear:
- How Shawna and Alli divide the work behind the scenes
- Favorite guests and unforgettable conversations from the past three years
- The biggest lessons they've learned about healthy aging, longevity, menopause, strength, nutrition, and living well after 40

- How the Girls Talk Healthy Aging community inspired the Women's Wellness Sabbatical to Peru—and why they're heading to Iceland in 2027
- Why treating the podcast as a passion project and a way to serve women has made the journey so rewarding
- The special friendship Shawna and Alli have built through creating the show together
