In this episode of HER NEXT ACT ~ Right Here, Right Now, host Joan Paul is in conversation with author advocate Kathie Bennett. Kathie shares how she transitioned from a 35-year career as a flight attendant to becoming a successful literary publicist in her mid-fifties and the pivotal moments that took her there. The episode highlights Kathie's early influences from her grandmother’s audacious move to found a library in the upstairs of a Piggly Wiggly (grocery store) in her mid-fifties, to legendary author Pat Conroy who gave her the confidence to pursue her vision. Her upbringing emphasized dedication to service and making a difference and Kathie Bennett has done just that with the life she has created and is living at this moment. Just entering her seventies, Kathie is proof that it is never too late to find a new path that will bring more vibrancy and meaning to one’s life. Kathie offers insights into overcoming self-doubt, the importance of embracing new endeavors regardless of age, and her relentless commitment to helping authors achieve their dreams.
