Manage episode 477238891 series 2812915
On April 14, 2025, Gayle King made history—joining an all-female crew aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket for a 10-minute suborbital space flight. But this wasn’t just a milestone in space exploration—it was a bold statement about reinvention, representation, and the courage to say yes to the unfamiliar.
In this episode of Holly’s Highlights, we reflect on the power of presence, the bravery of vulnerability, and what it means to pursue purpose at any age. Joined by incredible women like Lauren Sánchez, Katy Perry, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn, this mission was more than a flight—it was a reminder that it’s never too late to rise.
Whether you're launching into a new career, breaking free from old labels, or learning to show up fully as yourself—this one’s for you.
