200 Things Women Can Do at 50
~Permission Press
Ever heard the saying, “I'm older and have better insurance.” Well, 200 Things Women Can Do at 50 is similar - it's not a self help book, but a permission slip to take life by the horns because we can.
A truly laugh-out-loud, liberating, and shockingly relatable celebration of the best-kept secret about turning fifty: it's not the beginning of the end, it's the end of apologizing. From start to finish, this collection of rebel rules trades guilt for grit and invites every woman to reclaim her time, comfort, and her voice with a wink and glass of wine.
“50 is not the end. 50 is the moment the polite applause stops and the real show begins.”
If anything made me laugh out loud while resonating with my soul, that was it. When I hit 50 I totally took on the attitude that it was no longer everyone else’s show, it was now mine. That energy alone carried me through the remainder of the book – part humor guide, part bucket list, part therapy session in print. A mischievous mix of practicality and play.
If I didn't know better, I would have sworn I was reading a word for word evening over a glass of whiskey with my best friend of over 40 years. The one who's had my back through late night cruising the strip in high school, to cow tipping on prom night, having children, the loss of a parent, and many close friends over the last few years.
Playfully rebellious yet deeply affirming. Quick, digestible, and designed for real life. You can open to any page and get a five-minute hit of laughter and perspective. Beneath the jokes about Irish goodbyes and store-bought guacamole is a living, breathing message about female autonomy. The format is perfect for night-stand reading or group sharing over a birthday brunch.
This isn't about rage, it's about release and the subtle difference is what makes it feel loving versus combative. The humor lands because it recognizes the shared absurdities of womanhood without turning them into trauma or tropes.
If you are looking for the perfect 50th birthday gift for that woman who never thinks of herself first, 200 Things Women Can Do At 50 is the perfect gift of freedom!
