Amanda Lamb shares the story behind her new book, Whispers on the Mountain.
Frankly, if you look at social media on a regular basis, you will see that we are talking about so many things that don't really matter. Why? Because they distract us from topics that are often difficult to discuss.
The second season of "Ageless," a popular podcast produced by longtime WRAL reporter Amanda Lamb, is now available. Take a listen to an excerpt from her first episode this season on weight loss drugs.
Amanda Lamb explores the transformative power of embracing midlife in her new workshop inspired by her podcast, "AGELESS."

I remember my mother once telling me that when you get older, you are still basically the same person you were when you were 16. Sure, you don't look the same. You have more life experience, more wisdom, and hopefully, better coping skills, but the core you is still the same.
I've learned more in the past six months than I've learned in six years, especially when it comes to social media and marketing. For those of us (shout-out to fellow Gen Xers) who didn't grow up with the internet and its many facets, understanding how to use it to our benefit is not necessarily intuitive.
I had a lot of time to read on my recent vacation, and I found myself connecting with words in a way that I had not been able to do when my life was so frenetic.
One of my guests on AGELESS recently said something that got my attention. She said that she appreciated it when women shared their knowledge, that we can't "hide the keys to the kingdom" because unless if we share what we know, "all boats will rise."
What do an accomplished actress, a champion for people living with disabilities, a dancer from South Africa, an IBM executive turned etiquette coach, and a former NFL executive turned teacher have in common? They're my guests on AGELESS: Opening Doors with Amanda Lamb this month.
One of the themes of my podcast, AGELESS, is how women stand on the shoulders of those who came before them. We stand on the shoulders of our mothers who stand on the shoulders of their mothers.
All the women I have interviewed have one thing in common, they have walked across hot coals and lived to tell their stories.
She's been gone from our WRAL family for less than three weeks, but Amanda Lamb is not one to let grass grow under her feet. She has a brand new podcast, "Ageless: Opening Doors with Amanda Lamb," about women redefining themselves after 50.
In the words of Stevie Nicks from the iconic song "Landslide:" "Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?"
I'm often reminded of my favorite quote by the poet Mary Oliver: "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life."

Episode 7 of WRAL's serial murder podcast, "The Killing Month August 1978," is out Tuesday hosted by WRAL's Amanda Lamb. In this episode, the verdict in the case of two of the brothers who were tried first, and the ringleader -- the head of the gang -- finally goes on trial. Amanda spoke to one of the defense attorneys about how hard his job was...
I'm not sure where the invisible line is between childhood and adulthood. But suddenly, it seems like my children have morphed into adults overnight.
As parents, one of the hardest lessons we must learn is about letting our children go. I don't mean just the literal act of permitting them to leave the nest, I mean allowing them to make their own decisions even when we're not sure their decisions will ultimately lead to success.
Being a submarine parent has never been more important than when your children reach young adulthood.
When WRAL reporter Amanda Lamb's mother was diagnosed with a glioblastoma and being treated at the Tisch Center, resources were limited, but that is changing.
As our children get older, I believe it becomes more enjoyable to spend time with them.
I don't know how many times I've watched the 1983 classic, "National Lampoon's Vacation," with Chevy Chase, or even just stumbled across snippets of it while scrolling through late-night television, but it never disappoints.
Parenting doesn't stop when the kids leave the nest. I'm told it goes on forever. It transcends seasons, miles and extends well into adulthood.
Tina Fey has a great bit about how raising teenage girls or young women is a lot like trying to get the cool girls' attention in high school, like having a girl crush.
