About Freedom in Later Life
Our Mission:
To inspire people over 50 to live wise & wild, free from limits, full of purpose
Freedom in Later Life is for those who refuse to fade quietly into retirement.
It’s for the curious, the creative, and the unretired — people who know that getting older doesn’t mean getting smaller.
Here, we’re tearing up the old script.
Later life isn’t a time to slow down or settle.
It’s a chance to live more honestly, more freely, and entirely on your own terms.
Because you’re wise enough to know better — and wild enough not to care.
About Our Founder
Hi, 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 neither was staying stuck in a life that no longer felt like mine.
That moment became the beginning of something completely new.
In search of clarity, I travelled to Nepal, my first solo trip.
Surrounded by mountains and silence, I discovered Buddhism and, in it, 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 incredible 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.
It’s a space for anyone over 50 who still feels curious about what’s next. Who knows that change, though often painful, can open the door to something deeper, wiser, and freer.
When I’m not writing or teaching, you’ll probably find me walking in nature, drinking strong coffee, or planning my next adventure somewhere new.
Because life after 50 isn’t about endings — it’s about waking up to everything that’s still possible.
