She Wasn’t Born Yesterday tackles the many unique issues affecting women who are 40+ fabulous. No topic is too controversial!

She Wasn't Born Yesterday

How do you deal with the ‘pause’? How do you know you’re dating someone with a narcissistic personality disorder? How do you move on from divorce? Behind the scenes of a 40+ influencer and how to reverse the aging process, are just a few topics tackled.

SWBY features Janet Evans, a senior advertising creative and Jenni Woodhouse, a semi retired social worker. A chance interview on radio station Hope 103.2 about the book inspired the podcast.

“So many unique issues affect women of our age, including empty nest syndrome, and nothing’s off limits in SWBY! We really dive headfirst into them, but hopefully with lightness and relevant wit where possible,” Janet commented. “We were incredibly lucky to chat to some very high profile guests, including CEOs of important organisations, who shared their expertise with us and our audience.”

About the Guest:

Jo Starling is the President of the Women’s Recreational Fishing League, Australia’s only nationwide women-focused recreational fishing community. A creative consultant and strategist, Jo uses fishing as a platform to empower women, build confidence, and support personal growth.

Key Takeaways:
Jo Starling's recovery from trauma was significantly bolstered by the empowerment and community found in women's only fishing leagues.
The Women's Recreational Fishing League encourages women to break traditional gender roles and learn skills typically associated with men, fostering a sense of self-reliance and confidence.
Fishing serves as a strategic and engaging activity that allows women to manage stress and remain in the present moment.
The league's initiatives aim to address the gender imbalance in recreational fishing by offering a supportive environment where women can grow and thrive.
Personal growth and professional success can result from challenging limiting beliefs and tackling perceived male-dominant spaces.

Notable Quotes:
"Fishing prowess is not sexually transmitted. It is not something that you can just plug and play."
"The power of recreational fishing is that as a woman, you are gaining the capacity to be self-reliant in every way, which allows you to know that your circumstances are yours."
"You cannot have self-esteem if you do not have control over your circumstances. Fishing gave me back control of my life."
"Women need to stop playing to the masculine and embrace our own leadership styles. It's not about out-menning the men."
"The transformational power of the Women's Recreational Fishing League is demonstrated in how women can now do things they once thought were impossible."
