The Murder of Crows with the Women of Crow’s Pass
Podcast
Real talk for women 55+, and the people who love us.
Money, health, home, and what happens when life throws the books out of balance. No fluff. Just honest conversations from someone who’s been through it, with practical takeaways you can use.
Your host
Karen Hall, Founder of Crow’s Pass. She’s a finance professional and a Gen X tech person who has sat in a lot of boardrooms.
Nigel Kearns is Karen’s friend and part of the podcast, bringing his event production experience. Nigel is also part of the Crow’s Pass Festival, our music festival idea that celebrates Cape Breton’s fiddlers, singers, songwriters, pipers and storytellers.
What to expect
- When the Books Go Wonky: each topic gets a short post on our Facebook Page first, then a deeper conversation on the show.
- Topics on the list include your life’s two sets of books (the P&L vs. the balance sheet), whether your cushion is real, the line item nobody budgets for, and why menopause is a workplace issue.
- Short episodes, kitchen-table honest, with a crow or two.

Stories from the Roost
The stories behind the show. Short reads from Karen’s Facebook Page.
A Tribute to My Parents
Four kids, four very different paths, all from the same address. Karen’s parents married in 1957 and kept the same door and the same phone number for 69 years. A Gen X love letter to latchkey summers, and to always knowing the way home.
The Words Only the Elders Knew
In Fort McMurray, Karen worked in a Métis community she loved, and learned how rare the Michif words had become. It’s a story about why elders belong in community, not tucked away. Plus “crow” in five languages of this land.
Whatever Happened to Retiring at 55?
Work hard, save a little, and you’ll be free by 55. We believed it. Karen believed it right up until 52. 55 isn’t a restriction. It’s a starting point.
Fort Mac Was Good to Me
Karen went west heading towards 50 with a plan, and she loved it. Fort Mac taught her she could stand on her own two feet, and she brought that strength home to Cape Breton.
