It's time to meet a powerhouse of a woman who really is going all out to empower women in midlife to become the best versions of themselves. Catherine Grace O'Connell is an ageism positivist, an empowerment cat-alyst and the founder of Forever Fierce:Midlife Matters Facebook global Facebook community. If that's not enough she also hosts her Modern Midlife Talk show and podcast and is regularly invited as a motivational speaker to share her story.
