Fearless at Fifty: Jacqueline Wales Helps Baby Boomer Women Live the Life They Love

Jacqueline Wales, motivational speaker, coach and author, works with Baby Boomer women to teach them how to move through their fear and discover a vibrant, energetic life.

“…I want to be fearless at 50,” says Leeza Gibbons, former host of Entertainment Tonight and Leeza, and now currently hosting a nationally syndicated radio program, Leeza Live. Gibbons, a participant in the current edition of Dancing with the Stars, celebrated her fiftieth birthday during the first week of this Monday night hit television show.

Jacqueline Wales, founder of Fearless Fifties (http://www.fearlessfifties.com) couldn’t agree with her more. Wales coaches women from around the world to empower them to live vibrant, energetic lives, by helping them to move beyond their comfort zone.

What does it mean to be Fearless at Fifty? According to Wales, the answer is simple. It’s about facing your fears each and every day. Fear is what stops a woman from living a thriving, passionate, and joy-filled life which is hers to claim.

“At midlife, women find themselves assessing where they’ve been and what they’ve done. We reflect on our lives, on our pains and sorrows, as well as on our joys and accomplishments,” says Wales. “All of these elements, intricately woven together, create us into magnificent women. It’s a time of celebration and a time to look deep within our hearts to plan the next steps – into a new frontier – fearless, focused, and in our fifties (or more). Fearless Fifties is about changing the way we think about midlife!”

No stranger to life’s difficulties and in her mid-fifties herself, Wales’ experiences from childhood to womanhood taught her many life lessons she now draws upon when working with other Baby Boomer women. She helps them to uncover what’s standing in the way, what’s keeping them stuck and adding to their struggle. She helps them to map out a journey that will lead them to living the life they desire.

According to Wales, “It all starts with making a choice — to show up to life as it presents itself – fear and all. Fear keeps us from exploring and going beyond our comfort zone. We must move forward, each day, one step at a time. By creating purposeful goals aligned with our vision, by focusing on self-care and balancing life responsibilities with life passions, we can map out our journey for the years ahead. Midlife is an exciting time for learning and growth.”

Jacqueline Wales, motivational speaker, author, and coach, works with women to help them step through their fears to live their best life now. She is the author of several books including The Good Enough Mother, Candle in the Wind, and the just released When the Crow Sings, as well as several other compilations. Having discovered her singing voice in her forties, she has graced the stage with her touching, heart-centered music in Los Angeles, Paris, and Amsterdam, producing her first CD entitled Secrets of the Sun. Born in Scotland and having lived and worked in cities around the world, she now resides in New York City living true to Fearless in her Fifties.
