Achieving Goals, Writing Books, and Money Mindset at 70

Welcome to The Year of Being 70 - Episode 3 | Achieving Goals, Writing Books, and Money Mindset at 70 Podcast! In Episode 3, Lisette Schuitemaker and Lucy McCarraher dive deep into topics of achieving goals in later life, writing books at 70, and cultivating a money mindset at 70.

As two inspiring women over 70, they share their personal journeys and reflections on personal growth after 70. This episode is full of wisdom, stories of financial empowerment for older women, and insights into how to continue to grow and succeed in later years.

Lucy McCarraher talks about her experience using the innovative Book Magic AI—a book-writing app that has become a game-changer in her own writing process at 70. Surprisingly, even experienced writers like Lucy have found this AI-assisted writing tool incredibly helpful. She explains how the app helps streamline the writing process, making it easier to stay organized and on track. However, Lucy makes it clear that the app isn't about writing your book content for you. Instead, it’s a tool that enhances the creative process.

Lisette Schuitemaker, another seasoned writer, discusses her reservations about needing AI writing tools for experienced writers. While she feels confident in her abilities to write without external help, she’s excited to explore the app herself during her upcoming writing retreat at 70.

As the conversation unfolds, Lucy questions whether they made the right choice by publicly starting their podcast, sharing their experiences of turning 70.

Is it possible that people will start to think they’re “too old” to pursue new projects? This thought-provoking discussion explores how we can all embrace aging gracefully without fear of societal judgment.

In addition, Lucy and Lisette take a deep dive into the topic of money—its role in their lives, overcoming fears of aging, and shifting their money mindset in older women. They reflect on the biases and challenges they've faced, and how they’ve worked to overcome financial fears. With candid insights, they discuss financial independence at 70 and offer valuable perspectives on how to manage money, success, and aging.

This episode is an essential listen for anyone looking for inspiration for older women, particularly those navigating life milestones after 70. It’s a refreshing look at how to achieve personal goals in older age, whether it's writing a book at any age, retirement and career goals, or embracing new technology in writing at 70.
