Jean talks about life after 50, the beginning of her second half adventures. She went to law school as a 35 year old single mom in order to become a civil liberties lawyer. When she retired at 59, she and 2 friends wrote their first book about their experiences of being invisible no more. They realized that there was a shift in how they were being perceived and treated so they wrote a book to give place to their voice. A second book followed and much media attention followed amplifying their voices for women over 50 even further.
Meanwhile she decided to break into the modeling industry with no knowledge or experience. For the next 10 years she enjoyed modeling and doing commercials. She moved from Washington DC to a small island off the west coast of Florida and ran for City Commissioner, which she won.
Our conversation is an inspiring look at the power of creating our lives after 50, of being invisible no more. Jean believes that women over 50 need to nurture the ability to step back and see themselves in the world, who they are and what they bring. Once you have that view then dream what you want to do, declare it to the world then take action.
The world needs women over 50 to bring all that they are to this world with confidence and vision. Grab a cuppa something wonderful, another fabulous woman over 50, hit play then prepare to get inspired by Jean today.
