About Freedom in Later Life
Freedom in Later Life is for those of us asking deeper questions about who we are and how we want to live as we grow older.
We see later life as a time for redefining purpose and meaning, and for choosing a slower, more intentional pace without stepping back from life.
It’s a space that values self-care, freedom, and the ability to live in ways that feel right to us.
Here, later life is understood as a period of possibility, lived thoughtfully and on our own terms.

About Our Founder
I’m Anna, the founder of Freedom in Later Life and author of How Did I Get Here?
After 30 years of marriage, I found myself standing at a crossroads I never expected. Divorce wasn’t part of the plan, but staying in a life that no longer felt like mine wasn’t an option either.
That moment became the beginning of something new.
In search of clarity, I travelled to Nepal on my first solo trip.
Surrounded by mountains and quiet, I discovered Buddhism and a way of understanding change, loss and self-compassion.
It reshaped how I saw everything, especially aging and freedom.
When I returned, I trained as a mindfulness teacher and began working with people living with cancer and bereavement. Through that work, I witnessed the quiet courage it takes to rebuild a life, and the strength that comes from simply being present with what is.
Freedom in Later Life grew from all of that.
The heartbreak, the healing, the learning and the rediscovery.
This space is for anyone over 50 who still feels curious about what’s next, and who knows that change, even when painful, can open the door to something deeper, wiser and more free.
When I’m not writing or teaching, you’ll usually find me walking in nature, drinking strong coffee or planning my next adventure somewhere beautiful.
Life after 50 isn’t about endings. It’s about waking up to everything that’s still possible.
If my story resonates with you, you may enjoy my book How Did I Get Here?, a journey through change, healing and rediscovery.
You can also explore more ideas, reflections and stories here on Freedom in Later Life.
Thank you for being here. It means a lot to walk this path together.
