Welcome to Becoming of Age. I am the author of this blog and the book Becoming of Age: Living Life on Your Own Terms. I am inspired to write by my long-standing interest in women’s well being – particularly in the third stage of life, which I see as a time of possibilities in which we can live the life we choose.
My background includes health policy, teaching, and public health nursing. Women’s health, resilience, and navigating life transitions have always been a strong interest and focus for my work. Over the years I have led workshops for women at midlife and beyond, given talks, and participated in discussions and educational sessions addressing issues in women’s experiences of aging. Such experiences have informed my writing and strengthened my commitment to supporting and honouring women as they age.
I am a mother to three grown sons and three delightful grandchildren who bring me much joy. Ongoing support for adventures of all kinds in my life comes from my dear husband. I love long walks, getting immersed in a good book, and superb coffee and conversation with friends.
I hope my writing will resonate with you.
