Ep.101. "A Delightful Little Book of Ageing" with author Stephanie Raffelock

It's good to be back after the Easter break and I have a bumper season of women to share with you.  If you are enjoying listening to my interviews and I leave you feeling inspired then please feel free to Buy Me A Coffee. Your support is much appreciated. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/RachelPeru1 Starting with this weeks guest, Stephanie Raffelock. Stephanie is an award winning, Amazon best selling Author of "A Delightful Little Book on Aging", as well as a Podcaster and Speaker. She didn't start her writing career until she retired at 60 so she's the perfect example of how our age doesn't have to define us. Stephanie helps self-aware, educated women who are interested in shirking the toxic myths and stereotypes of aging, something that out of the Bubble is very much about too.  She proves that women aren’t finished living their best lives at 50, 60 and beyond, but instead, how they become the wise elders of our culture. Stephanie celebrates age and shows how it’s a privilege to grow old - how every single day is a gift.  “Peter Pan’s mantra was that he was never going to grow up. My mantra is that we never stop growing”  Subjects covered-  Overcoming ageism in ourselves and in America.  Why women especially are afraid of getting older.  Creating joy in the maturer years Encore careers  The positive ageing movement  Grief-ageing begins in grief Reclamation Vision- wiser, deeper soul, wonder for life  Reframe and change the narrative Your age doesn’t define you  To find out more- www.Byline-Stephanie.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-raffelock-01b53936/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StephanieRaffelock/  Instagram: www.Instagram.com/byline.stephanie  Don't miss any of the inspiring Out of the Bubble women, you can go and subscribe at www.rachelperu.co.uk and come and say hello on Instagram!  I have now created a FREE "Step Out of the Bubble" private group.
