Your Second Act

Sue Jessett goes to uni at 68


Listen Later

Meet Sue, a pint-sized powerhouse who learned to use her North London working class background, neurodiversity and gut instinct to overcome those who underestimated her.

Follow her story through 1950s Camden, leaving school without qualifications and her success as a mature student.

Her career saw her supporting the most vulnerable in women's refuges and inner London schools. She retired after burnout and recovered by finding a passion for creativity. She returned to university at 68 to study art and is now an accomplished weaver.

She explains the importance of vulnerability and feeling the fear but doing it anyway. I take a lot of heart from her words and I hope you do too.
