In our latest episode of Wildflowers and Whisky Podcast, Jolene savored a comforting cup of Vanilla Mint Chai while engaging in a heartfelt conversation with Meghan J. Ward, a prominent writer from Banff, and delving into the captivating life of Mary Schäffer Warren, a significant figure in the history of the Rockies during the early 20th century. As Meghan produces her documentary film project, "Wildflowers," she embarks on a journey to retrace the remarkable life story of Mary Schaeffer. However, this adventure goes beyond simply exploring Mary's achievements in the mountains; it also delves into the essence of identity transformation and the art of reinventing oneself in the midst of midlife. 

Correction: Mollie Adams was born in Ridgefield, Connecticut. And it was on a trip to the Kootenay Plains, not Ptarmigan Valley, that she and Schäffer found kindred spirits in each other.
