Publisher's Summary

Discover how to embrace your future years with confidence, financial security, and wellness, even if you're facing it alone. Are you on the threshold of your golden years where the quiet mornings that once buzzed with family gatherings turn to silent evenings filled with anxiety? You've likely noticed the quiet shifts in your daily life—the tasks that take a little longer, the meals that become quieter, and the sense of isolation that can accompany aging solo. You are now standing at the crossroads between the familiar paths of your past and the uncharted territory of your future as a single senior woman.

Does the thought of navigating this new journey alone send a wave of uncertainty down your spine? Know that you are not alone. More than a quarter of women—divorced, widowed, or never married—live alone and face the same crossroads. This book goes into the heart of what it means to age alone. It acknowledges your fears of isolation, financial security, and the daunting task of maintaining health and wellness without a partner's support.

With the E.M.P.O.W.E.R. Path and its 8 stages, this book empowers you to rediscover your identity, build meaningful social connections, and easily manage finances, all while aging purposefully and independently. Inside, you'll discover: The challenges and societal stigma of aging solo, and how you can overcome your struggles, seize opportunities, and plan for a bright future. 7 common misconceptions about aging solo and how looking at the facts can put your mind at ease.

Effective strategies to manage your finances with confidence so you can enjoy what you want even on a tight budget. The "bare bones" of what you need to know and do about planning for your future even though the very idea of estate planning causes you near paralysis. Practical steps to boost self-confidence and develop a resilient mindset to navigate the journey of aging solo with strength and confidence.
