About this listen

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.

It might be daunting to even think about living by yourself after your golden age. The thing that scares people most is the uncertainty. It feels like relearning essential life skills but with a different set as a senior. This book lays down an easy-to-memorize framework, EMPOWER, and breaks down life into a few major sectors readers should look into while living solo. When the path is clear, the journey is much more manageable.

What a fantastic audiobook! Janice really brought Ellen's words to life and her voice sounded like a friend of mine. Aging Solo as a woman is nothing to be afraid of as Ellen does an excellent job of pointing out. I love how she pointed out the fears many women have (thanks to the societal pressures that have been unfairly placed on us) and threw facts as to why those fears are not worth stressing over. The E.M.P.O.W.E.R Path is an excellent guide to follow. I think my favorite would have to be the second "E" which stands for "Energize Your Essence" which deals with discovering new passions. I always tell my mom that it is never too late to start something new. Life in general, I believe, is about constantly learning and growing and Ellen's book reaffirms my belief. It's about really finding the things that light your soul on fire. The things that make you feel alive! Ellen gives great tips and tailored solutions to make things easier. Truly, a wonderful audiobook that makes aging solo not something to be scared of but something to look forward to. Highly recommend!
