Life expectancy in the UK is increasing, yet we still live in an ageist society. Rebecca Ronane aims to subvert these prejudices and reverse the expectations surrounding getting older. She knows that women over fifty, with their accumulated life experience and knowledge, are a force to be reckoned with. Her book, Forward After 50, is aimed at women seeking to reinvent themselves as retirement looms and the children fly the nest. This is the time, Ronane, argues, to explore new opportunities and to chase the dreams that have been sitting on the back-burner for years. But it all starts with unlearning what society dictates.
Forward After 50
This book helps reframe ageing in the minds of women over 50 by offering insights into the ways they might be limiting themselves. It’s time, she argues, to rethink how we talk about ageing and to associate getting older with regeneration, rather than degeneration. The world, Ronane says, may not be prepared for a surge of healthy, innovative, passionate women, but they are here none-the-less!
About the author
Before turning her attention to success after 50, Ronane worked in travel. She is now a writer, business coach, and the founder of Network Provence, a successful networking group. She lives in the sunny south of France with her French Dutchman and dog Myrtle.
Ronane describes herself as having an endless curiosity for life. She is a perpetual learner and explorer, of both places and things. She says, “Everything I've ever done has been a new adventure. I thrive on a challenge.”
Three major life challenges happened after she turned 50. “Like everyone, I’ve had trials and tribulations. I choose to focus on the latter. I know that anything is possible for women who want to move forward after 50.”
