Claudia Jean is a wife, a mother, a businesswoman with vision, and a woman with a mission: she intends to bring the art of Aging With A Vengeance to all women either lucky enough to be living their Second Fifty Years Unleashed or hoping to be!


A firm believer in the maxim that Seniors Rule! Claudia Jean, now a senior herself, says that “Age is irrelevant. A sense of Life is what we crave.” Noting that “Those chronologically behind us see us as old. Those ahead of us see us as young,” and that, “We egocentrically insist that the age we are is the only age that counts,” Claudia Jean tells us that, “It is not so grievous that the young disparage the old as it is that those old enough to know better do so.”


What does this all mean? That as a society, we need to recognize the value of those older than ourselves: we need to learn from them, honor them for their wisdom and experience, and use them as role models in our own aging process. Planning to age reduces our fear, while aging on purpose gives us a voice.

“Will you let it happen or make it happen? There is no power in denying the process. There is, however, untold power in embracing your potential at every stage.”

So saying, Claudia Jean emphasizes the sisterhood of women, telling us that by recognizing the power and wisdom of the women ahead of us, and complimenting the beauty and potential of the women around us, we create a stream of positive energy that connects and empowers all women, allowing them to see the aging process as secondary to the well-lived life itself.

“There is a huge difference between letting your life happen and making your life happen!”

In Aging With A Vengeance, Claudia Jean gives voice to the power of the spirit of all women, regardless of age, and reminds us that that power rests in our ability to continue being seen and heard. It is what our ability to make a difference is all about; it is what the sisterhood is all about; it is what living Your Second Fifty Years Unleashed is all about.
