Aging Naked

I'm a blogger, educator, a social worker, policy specialist, woman and mom. I've worked with people experiencing a range of life transitions and crises for over 30 years as a consultant, social worker and counselor. I'm also a full-time professor in a social work program, at a university in California. I am passionate about training the next genera... tion of social workers so that they too can help make the world a better place. I started blogging when my only son left for college, and despite having a fulfilling career, and a pretty active life, I was ill-prepared for the vacuum his departure created in my life. I blogged about empty-nesting, about being in my 50s, of my desire to find love again. I blogged about letting go of shame and fear, learning how to embrace life, and myself. I blogged about feeling lost, and wanting more, of setting down my masks and getting real, of learning to live more authentically and transparently. And that is when Aging Naked was born. Blogging helped me to realize that I want more out of lifemore joy, more creativity, more freedom, and a lot more humor. And it also helped me to realize that I want lessless compartmentalization, less role-playing, less fear, and absolutely less mask-wearing. Blogging helped me realize that I am on an Aging Naked journey. My wish for everyone, particularly women, particularly middle-aged women is that they too can age (emotionally) naked, with more passion and fewer masks. My blogs can be found here and on the Huffington Post, as well as other online publications. I'm also working on my fourth book, called (you guessed it!) Aging Naked: More Passion, Fewer Masks.Read More
