Description

Jane Mathews is the author of ‘Midlife Manifesto’, a witty, accessible, bullshit-free book with heaps of advice, insight and information on how to get your life-plan into better shape. When we leave the blush of youth behind, so many of us sleepwalk into middle and old age without any real plan to get us there - which is why so many of us arrive disappointed and depressed. Jane has grabbed this particular nettle and talks about the real need for all of us, whatever our age, to have some clear context and ideas on how we see our lives going forward. On the pod she shares her views on relationships, spirituality, dealing with the death of loved ones and how to create positive new chapters in your life.
We also learn: why many women stay unhappily married through fiscal fear and financial ignorance; how much money do you need when you retire and how to insure you have it; why everyone, of any age should have a will; the difference between male and female midlife crises; insights into depression, psychiatry and why assisted suicide is still largely frowned upon by society; why many say ‘I love you’ without genuinely meaning it; and why Oprah Winfrey is kinda like a nice Donald Trump.
