About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Fern had recently entered her 60s when a series of life-altering events threw her into the eye of the storm. Both her parents passed away, her 20-year marriage ended, and the pandemic was looming.

Faced with an uncertain future, Fern decided that if she wanted to start over, now was the time. She moved to Cornwall, where she reconnected with her true self and instead of fearing getting older, she chose to create a glorious new life full of friendship, fun and adventure.
Fern explores the joy and challenges of aging with warmth and humour. She reflects back on all she has learnt, from enduring tough times to embracing new opportunities and learning how to be kinder to herself. This wasn’t a moment of empowerment, for that would suggest she never had any power to begin with. As women, we often put our needs aside, and she feels strongly that it’s time for us to repower and rediscover our happiness.

In The Older I Get, join Fern as she candidly shares her experiences of grief and loss, rebuilding confidence and exploring new passions, as well as the importance of finding friends you can put the world to rights with over a couple of Cosmos.

I just loved Fern’s honest, funny journey through life, I say funny as she made me laugh several times along with the real and not quite so funny parts of life.
The book is full of good advise which I’ve taken much on board and will act on. Thank you Fern.

I really liked that this book was narrated by Fern herself, which adds to the warmth and humour throughout. She is so real and relatable that it was like listening to an old friend. As an almost 50 year old nearing the empty nest phase, this was like a little treasure chest of warmth and wisdom to me. Thank you so much Fern x
