About the book
In this groundbreaking book, Sue Brightman beckons us into timely and promising news about women over 50: it’s not about aging, it’s about becoming more of who we really are and doing what we’re called to do. Based on 100 interviews with women age 50-70+, Brightman discovers emerging themes of burgeoning creativity, spiritual growth, and a zesty freedom to experiment with new roles, new businesses, and new priorities. Blasting out of the water the old narrative about disengagement and decline, this exciting and spiritually rich stage of life comes alive page by page with women’s stories, pithy quotes, and Brightman’s insightful narrative.
“Sue Brightman’s book should be on Oprah’s top picks for 2020. It is so full of deep wisdom that resonates at every level. Its interviews show women aging with grace and power, declaring and defining themselves on their own terms. Sue has done a brilliant job of harvesting the uniquely feminine themes that unfold within each decade. Women over 50 will see themselves in this book, and younger women will be inspired by it too.”
~ Gael McCool, author of Be Wise Now: A Guide to Conscious Living
“When you open this amazing book you will find the voices of women who offer beautiful pieces of their stories in a chorus of strength, courage, humor, diversity, and compassion. Sue Brightman is the master choir director who brought these voices together as a gift for this very moment!”

Welcome to this site!
After 28 wonderful years as a Conscious Business consultant and leadership coach to global organizations across dozens of industries, I pivoted my focus in 2020 to support women leaders. This included offering coaching and workshops based on my research on women over 50 and working as an Executive Facilitator for Chief – the world’s largest executive women’s member network of CEOs and VPs.
My book “A Call to Further Becoming” based on interviews with diverse women over age 50 achieved Amazon best-selling new release status due to the reality of women recognizing the exciting and needed shift toward greater balance in the workplace and in our collective culture for qualities long-reflected by what Lynne Twist calls the feminine wing of the bird of humanity.
And now in 2026, I pivot to another focus: bringing more of our true spiritual natures into the work I do.
I have the privilege of working part-time for a philanthropic organization providing inspired benevolence to people in need, with my own emphasis on those who are institutionalized in prisons, jails, or mental institutions.
Alongside this wonderful work, I still offer business coaching and consulting to select clients, founded on the principles of conscious business and the innate spiritual and moral integrity of who we really are as reflections of a Higher Power.
