Living The Next Chapter: Candid Conversations with Authors and Writers for Readers Searching for a New Read

EPISODE 35 -

From midlife on, women have been caught up in the myths of getting older—pain, anxiety, depression, memory loss, and becoming a lesser member of society.

More than just a mindfulness book or self care journal, PRESENT is a motivational book for women in the second half of life. It is filled with questions that challenge our thoughts on aging, self-acceptance, and life purpose for women over 40.

Nancy Candea is a yoga therapist and life coach who helps women make peace with their past, find self-acceptance, and step wholeheartedly into their purpose. She has brought healing to women in shelters, to elite athletes, and to seven-figure households. Her work and impact with women is evident in the response that she has been getting in prominent online journals and the engagement in her social media. 

Nancy makes wellness accessible through her WildKind Health podcast, her free bi-monthly healthy lifestyle webinars, and her low-cost wellness platform, Underhill Life.
Nancy’s call is for women to live the second half of their lives confidently, utilizing the gifts and powerful knowledge they have gained.

Nancy is a mother of two daughters and lives in Rockaway, New Jersey with her husband, the actor James Michael Reilly. When she is not working, she is writing, building, landscaping, drawing, basket-making, and sitting on the stone steps of Underhill looking at the sunrise.

About our guest
Philippa is a proud Northerner, who studied law at university, and she spent most of her career exploring the UK, subconsciously seeking "home". She settled in the beautiful city of Bristol where she now lives with her husband, two teenage sons and Bob the dog.

During her own personal transformation, through healing childhood trauma and learning to love and live for herself, she arrived at her soul mission to guide people to be the truest versions of themselves because she believes that is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

She proudly supports NACOA (the National Association for Children of Alcoholics). Discovering a joy for writing, wild-swimming and even running (slowly) in mid-life has been a fabulous surprise.

Philippa has a podcast (Meeting of Minds) and is a certified coach.  Her memoir, I See, Me, was released on 30th November 2021 and is available in paperback and on kindle at Amazon. To find out more about working with Philippa, click the button below

The Book:
I SEE, ME a memoir by Bristol author - Philippa Robinson 
Release date: 30 November 2021

The premise of the book is :

“In January 2017 when Philippa suddenly lost a lot of the sight in her right eye, what followed wasn’t just the medical process of recovering most of that sight but an unravelling of the previous 47 years of her life to revisit the things she had refused to see. The ensuing transformation has enabled Philippa to have a totally new vision of her present and future and a desire to share it with you in the hope that it can help you see things in a new light too.

This is Philippa’s journey from “less than” to “enough”, from fearful, in pain and angry to open, courageous and alive. “

Head of Hope provides anyone affected by TBI, including their families, friends, and caregivers, validation, information, inspiration, useful resources, and hope to help you live your best life, even with a TBI.

As an RN, Sally Alter has professionally helped people heal. Her desire to help others extends into her writing, and she hopes to make a difference in the lives of others. As someone who suffers from bipolar, she knows how life-altering and uncertain this illness can be. Her book tackles the subject on a human level in a non-clinical way. After answering more than 800 questions on bipolar disorder on Quora, she's the top writer there with 20.3 million views to date. With a goal of continuing to help others, she hopes to reach a whole new group of people suffering from bipolar.

She was born in London and currently resides in Texas with her cat, Greta. When she's not writing, she can be found creating stunning colored pencil drawings and watercolor paintings. She's traveled extensively and even toured the States for six years in an RV. While staying in campgrounds, she taught writing and painting.

At present, she is working on another bipolar book and plans on publishing it in the spring.
