Welcome to Lit in a Nutshell — the podcast that unwraps powerful books in bite-sized, thought-provoking episodes.

Today, we’re diving into A Woman Makes a Plan by Maye Musk — a story of resilience, reinvention, and quiet strength. Maye, a model, dietitian, and mother of three successful children — including tech entrepreneur Elon Musk — shares how she built her life one deliberate decision at a time.

From surviving divorce and single motherhood to rebuilding her career across continents, Maye reminds us that it’s never too late to start over, to take risks, and to redefine what success means on your own terms.

In this episode, we’ll explore the lessons she learned from aging gracefully, parenting fearlessly, and living authentically — proof that wisdom and confidence grow stronger with time.

Let’s dive into the story of a woman who made a plan… and made it work.
