Jean Peelen is an 83-year-old writer, speaker, and activist. Her first solo book "Feisty: A Memoir in Little Pieces" was published in 2023. Her life has been a series of reinventions, from wife and mother to civil rights attorney, federal broadcasting executive, model/actress, show host, dog rescuer, elected official, book promoter, creator of oldwomenwhowrite.com, and aspiring TikTok influencer.

In today's conversation you will learn:

• What you need to believe in order to reinvent yourself at any age
• How to easily get started writing about your life
• The power of writing about your life in shaping how you see yourself.
• Why retirement is unhealthy for human beings
• How she spontaneously became a model in her 60's

There's so much wisdom packed in Jean's words and a lot of humour too, I think you'll enjoy this conversation with this feisty woman as much I did!
