  <description><![CDATA[<p>A story-driven podcast for women working on something: a business, a creative project, a new version of themselves.</p><p><br></p><p>Each episode starts with an original parable. A story built around a simple truth, a moment from a life not unlike yours. Then we talk about what it means and why it still applies to whatever you're in the middle of right now.</p><p><br></p><p>This isn't a personal development show with frameworks and five-step plans. It's a weekly reminder that what works is often simpler and steadier than you think. For women over 30 who are done with hustle culture and ready for something quieter, steadier, and more honest.</p><p><br></p><p>Because the woman who keeps picking it back up? She's already the woman she's trying to become.</p><p><br></p><p>Hosted by Miriam Kokolo.</p>]]></description>
