I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS OLD – About What Awaits Us After 50

  • Ideas, inspirations and advice: the untold potential and freedoms for women over 50!
  • Includes conversations with Ildikó von Kürthy, Marie Bäumer, Sheila de Liz, and other inspiring women.

The decade over 50 is full of opportunities!

What can I expect when I turn fifty? Where can I find role models for this stage of life? In Germany, there are eight million women between the ages of fifty and sixty. How is it possible that most of them are invisible? As she approached her own 50th birthday, driven by curiosity, Stephanie Hielscher set out to find women in the middle of their lives. She met with actresses, authors, entrepreneurs, politicians, and doctors to talk about aging and the associated topics: menopause, separations, financial planning, career changes, but also new opportunities, bold transformations, and great freedoms. She discovers that there is a lot for women over fifty to look forward to. This book contains the essence of her meetings and conversations, along with countless experiences, ideas, and advice that inspire and genuinely make you look forward to getting older.
