Description

We sat down with Jo, a remarkable and energetic woman who has overcome an emotionally abusive childhood, ongoing challenges in to adulthood, a marriage breakdown, a brush with cancer and is now carving out a new career in her early 60s. Join us as we hear Jo's inspiring journey to finding a job and proving that it’s never too late to find a life you truly love. In a time where older women in Australia increasingly face financial issues, Jo’s story of independence is reassuring.
