In this heartwarming and entertaining episode, Ava sits down with Mimi — her lifelong friend, honorary grandmother, and former TWA flight attendant — to talk about what it was really like to work the skies during the golden age of flying. From meeting celebrities like Maria von Trapp and Jimmy Dean (yes, the sausage man) to navigating beauty standards, cigarette-filled cabins, and unexpected turbulence, Mimi shares hilarious and heartfelt stories from her five years in the air.
Beyond the glamour and chaos, she reflects on what flying taught her about people, confidence, and living fully. So fasten your seatbelts, grab a coffee, and get ready to laugh, reflect, and fall in love with Mimi’s timeless wisdom from 30,000 feet above.
