In this episode I’m chatting with Angelina Mastrippolito, a second-generation Italian immigrant about her new book ‘Le Seconde’. The book details her life growing up in the cane fields of North Queensland in an Italian family. The expectations on women, the strength of her mother and what you can achieve if you are brave enough to take the step. This book is resonated with me, as my husband was born in Italy and migrated in 1952 from Italy to Australia with his parents and baby sister a...| Women Living Well After 50

It’s time for the monthly What’s On your Bookshelf? link up . My reading during August was a mixed bag. There were even a couple of DNF because they just didn’t grab me. I used to struggle through to finish all books that I read but these days I’m more discerning and protective of my time. If I can’t get into a book after a couple of chapters I put it aside. Perhaps I’ll read it another time or I perhaps I won’t. I’m looking forward to you sharing what you’ve read at our mon...| Women Living Well After 50

Last Sunday, two weeks before my 68th birthday, I laced up my runners and ran my second half marathon for 2025 in the run2cure event — but the real highlight wasn’t crossing the finish line. It was hearing the cheers of my grandsons as I came up to the finish line. Shouts of ‘Go Nan!’ spurred me on. Their hugs and ‘You were great, Nan’ filled my heart with joy and pride. I’m proud that I’m leading by example and showing the boys that anything is possible if we stay active and ...| Women Living Well After 50
