Ep. 135: How to Reinvent Yourself as a Woman at Any Age with writer, speaker, and activist Jean Peelen
Jean Peelen is an 83-year-old writer, speaker, and activist. Her first solo book “Feisty: A Memoir in Little Pieces” was published in 2023. Her life has been a series of reinventions, from wife and mother to civil rights attorney, federal broadcasting executive, model/actress, show host, dog rescuer, elected official, book promoter, creator of oldwomenwhowrite.com, and aspiring TikTok influencer.
In today’s conversation you will learn:
- What you need to believe in order to reinvent yourself at any age
- How to easily get started writing about your life
- The power of writing about your life in shaping how you see yourself
- Why retirement is essentially unhealthy for human beings
There’s so much wisdom packed in Jean’s words and a lot of humour too, I think you’ll enjoy this conversation with this feisty woman as much I did.
