Imagine writing 27 books, with illustrations, in 14 days, having never published anything before. Meet Kelly Anne Manuel, author, who joins us today to talk about a pivotal moment in her life where she decided to start writing, and couldn't stop!

Kelly Anne is also an eternal optimist who worked at a preschool, in the corporate world, and as a property manager before trying her hand at writing. Her books are now published as poems, primarily for children, with a beautiful message in each read. Let's just say her books capture her inner child, and they've caught on globally.

Kelly Anne will talk about her inspiration, and how writing has changed the direction in her life, in more ways than one! Please tune in to our discussion on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt. Thanks for tuning in!

Dr. Frieda Birnbaum, Author, "Life Begins at 60:

Please welcome world renowned psychologist Dr. Frieda Birnbaum, whose book, “Life Begins at 60” has literally changed views around the globe about aging, particularly for women. In fact, Dr. Frieda holds the record for giving birth to twins at the age of 60!

We talk anout changing views on aging, marriage, motherhood, and reinventing ourselves at any age. Dr. Frieda blasts age-old stereotypes, pointing out, “Ageism needs to be redefined. Middle age? That sounds like it's completely down hill! NO, I call it 'Peak age.' 'Grandma' is now someone who travels and goes on trips, not sitting home in a rocking chair waiting for her kids to call. 'Retirement' is now a second career, not sitting in a home waiting for visitors.”

All true. We’ll discuss this, and how women of a certain age are normalizing work and play into their senior years, and looking gorgeous doing it. How do we break down barriers and how society views older women? We talk about that, and certain behaviors towards women that have been used to hold us back. And there’s more. Much more.

Please join me on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. Looking for that next move in life? Our interview may be the place to start. Looking forward to hearing from everyone.
