Today we talk about her 4th book, 50 After 50: Reframing the Next Chapter of Your Life – a memoir and guidebook in which she shares her own personal evolution and life lessons to help readers of all ages revive their self-worth, learn new things and consider gifting themselves along the way, as she did, by making a list of 50 must do’s after turning 50. She uses this book as a mirror for others to reinvent themselves as life’s circumstances shift and change over time.
