Description

Women are living longer and better than previous generations, yet often we lose our way in our fifties. Changes in work, health, families and relationships can leave us feeling uncertain and wondering if life has anything more to offer. A Bold Life tells the stories of nine baby boomer women who are not going quietly into the second half of their lives. Having reached their crossroads, each made clear choices about where to next. Living with purpose and loving the adventure, their stories will inspire women to rethink and reinvent their future.
