In By Nine Podcast
Welcome to In By Nine Podcast! Hosted by Joyce Barrow-Henderson, Melissa Lenox, Shaya Bryant-Tabb, Sharia Washington, and Liz Sila, this is where women in their 40s spill the tea, swap the stories, and celebrate the friendships that keep us sane. Here we openly express the joy, humor, and challenges of midlife: career changes, raising teens (or letting them go), rediscovering passions, and learning to put ourselves first. Through it all, friendship is the glue that keeps us strong, reminding us that we don’t have to face any of it alone and that friendships just get better with age.
