Piloting Your Life

Piloting Your Life: your midlife guide to navigating your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Feeling blindsided and unprepared for your forties? Unsure of what to expect and how to navigate this second puberty? You are not alone and you are not crazy.

While author Terri Hanson Mead wrote Piloting Your Life as a love letter to GenX women, the messages and stories transcend age providing women of all ages with permission to design and live a life of our own creation.

Diverse women from around the world share their personal stories of learning, growing and thriving through midlife to inspire you to explore and experiment.

As a commercially rated helicopter pilot, Terri encourages all women to disengage autopilot, take the controls, and be the pilots in our own lives.

"Essential reading for any woman about to enter midlife, whether they want to or not! "--Reedsy Discovery

"A well-researched, inspiring, beach read!" --Jane
