Reignite Your Spark After 50: with Aleta Norris

Although she grew up with confidence instilled in her as a child from her dad, when she got married she wasn’t allowed to be herself. Aleta lived in an aura of criticism at home where her first husband actually said: “I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with you” when she didn’t live up to the “ideal” wife he was expecting. She put on her fake smile and went about her way in the world. So many women are looking for approval and give up themselves for someone else. Many of us don’t even think to ask, “Who am I?” or, “What do I want?”We talk about…How, as women, we often lose ourselves “gradually, and then suddenly” and what to do about that.How she decided she would make good out of her situation and she became a better person through all of the hardship (and how you can, too).How the best tip is to choose ONE area of life to change and start there.Aleta Norris, best-selling author of Women Who Spark and Women Who Spark After 50, loves helping women live their best lives, in spite of the daily overwhelming challenges and uncertainties.
