women in their 50s

In 2011, Lisa Weldon cut a map of Manhattan into 20 pieces and walked one piece per day until she covered the entire island. After walking each day, she came home and recorded her findings in her blog, then shared her words and photos through social media. It was from this experience that she learned the power of storytelling.

The next year, she spent thirty days walking every arrondissement of Paris. Huffington Post invited her to chronicle her walks, then published her first submission on the front cover of their “Living Fearlessly” section. Oprah’s network, Harpo Productions, caught wind of her walks and invited her to give Cindy Crawford advice on turning 50.

And now? She's just released her memoir. It’s the story of a 58-year-old woman who reinvents herself by taking 30 days to walk through the pieces of her life.

The start of a new year is an opportunity to re-evaluate our lives, even if we don't commit to New Year's resolutions. Self-help books are particularly popular at this time of year and my first guest of 2021 has authored and co-authored a number of books in this genre.

Married with two grown-up sons, Mallorca-based Kay Newton is a midlife strategist and uses the knowledge she's gained from her own rich variety of experiences to help others, through her books. These include 'The Art of Midlife Stress Busting', 'How to Clean Your Home Organically', and 'Tips and Tricks for Stress-free Downsizing'.

Kay talks about how she writes, the challenges of self-publishing, how co-authoring works for her, and the part of Mallorca where she lives and gets her inspiration. Sailing, Zanzibar, and walking the Camino de Santiago are also in the conversation.
