Start Now: Five Essential Steps for Women Over Sixty Facing New Beginnings
Start fresh with this inspiring, practical guide designed for women over 60 navigating life’s big changes.
For me, your development is personal!
Hi, I'm Bernadette Allen,
I understand how overwhelming life transitions can feel, leaving you lost and unsure of your next steps. Seven years ago, I found myself navigating one of the most challenging journeys of my life - widowhood. After a long and fulfilling marriage, the loss of my husband left me feeling like a shadow of my former self, grappling with a loss of identity, a sense of loneliness, and the daunting question of where I fit in the world now.
