Frances Whiting

Journalist and best-selling author Frances Whiting is a self-declared late bloomer: she had her first child at 40, her second at 45 (a total surprise!), and scored an international book deal at 50. In FORTY, Franny talks us through the decade that involved losing her embarrassment reflex, longing for a teeny-weeny hospital stay, discriminatory dolphins, kerbside collection disasters, and becoming a self-appointed shampoo influencer. Plus, in-between the quips and wit that made readers fall in love with her over the past 25 years, she shares touching insights on patterns of life at 40+, as well as practical advice for all women via her 96-year-old mother, Shirley!.  So, what happens when everything you didn't think would happen for you, happens? We find out in FORTY.   CREDITS:  Hosts: Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills Guest: Frances Whiting  Instagram: @frankywhiting Producer: Annabelle Brett @a.b__baby   CONTACT:  Email: hello@thosetwogirls.com.au Instagram: @liseandsarah Facebook: Those Two Girls  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
