Moxie synergy that’s off the charts! Mimi Madden and Susan Wheeler are the driving forces behind Good News Girls, a social collective for women over 50 in northwest Connecticut.

It has evolved into a dynamic and active organization, providing enrichment and social opportunities during a phase of a woman’s life that is marked by significant change. Menopause, changes in relationship status, retirement, grown children, and aging parents can add to isolation, loneliness, and a need for connection. Enter the Good News Girls with hikes, book groups, retreats, and learning-centered dinners, creating opportunities for friendship and positivity. They prove that it’s never too late to make changes in your life! This episode is proudly sponsored by Main Street Magazine.

🎙️ Happy #moxiemonday and the kick off of season 4! Our first episode of 2025 is all about HAPPINESS and our very own Mary O’Neill is doing double duty as guest and co-host! Please welcome Mary! 😎 Happiness is a moxie job! To kick off the 4th Moxie season, Mary O’Neill, co-creator and co-host of Main Street Moxie, explores the connection between happiness and moxie. Happiness is a topic on which Mary is well-versed. She has immersed herself in the topic through the lens of multiple disciplines, and it underpins her work as an educator and life design and career coach. For Mary, rainbows and unicorns do not signify a happy life. Instead, she draws on the Ancient Greek philosophy’s emphasis on living a life of virtue and values. A happy life is one lived in alignment with qualities such as courage, moderation, honesty, humility, integrity, and, most crucially, practical wisdom, which involves knowing how and when to apply various virtues in the situations we encounter.
