## Resource

Judith Henry joins Margo for a deeply honest and life-affirming conversation about caregiving, creativity, and what can unfold when we stay open to possibility at every age. A writer, artist, and podcaster, Judith shares how caring for her parents in the final chapter of their lives became the unexpected catalyst for an expansive creative journey—one rooted in humor, grit, color, and connection. At 61, Judith wrote The Dutiful Daughter's Guide to Caregiving, a practical and compassionate resource born from lived experience. In her late 60s, she picked up her mother's paintbrushes and fell in love with visual art. And at 71, she launched One Mouthy Dame, a podcast empowering women to embrace aging with honesty, gratitude, and good humor. Margo and Judith discuss: How caring for aging parents became a powerful (and unexpected) creative catalyst The emotional realities of caregiving, including grief, guilt, humor, and deep connection Writing The Dutiful Daughter's Guide to Caregiving as both memoir and practical support Using humor as a survival tool during difficult seasons Transitioning from writing into painting and mixed media later in life Letting go of judgment and reclaiming creativity at any age Launching a podcast in her 70s to speak honestly about aging, anxiety, and visibility Falling in love with Kawandi-style quilting and how stitching, mending, and making can be deeply healing Connect with Judith: Book & Writing: https://www.JudithDHenry.com Creative Work: https://www.JudithHenryCreative.com Podcast: https://www.JudithHenryCreative.com/One-Mouthy-Dame Connect with Margo: Website: www.windowsillchats.com Instagram: @windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill https://www.yourtantaustudio.com/thefoundry
