Grandmothers often underestimate the role they play in shaping the next generation—but what if their influence is more powerful than they think? In this conversation, Antwaun Thompson shares what decades of mentoring young people have taught him about resilience, accountability, and the quiet impact of the adults who show up consistently.
- Why today’s teens are struggling in ways previous generations didn’t
- The surprising role grandparents play in shaping character and confidence
- How to influence without overstepping boundaries
- The power of conversation—and why kids feel unheard
- Simple ways to build trust, resilience, and connection
- Why Legacy is built in everyday moments, not grand gestures
Sometimes the smallest conversations become the stories our grandchildren carry for a lifetime.

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.
My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
