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?”

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.
