I am privileged to say that Marilyn is my friend and that her children are friends of my children. Star of the NBC sitcom “The Mommies” and the ABC talk show “Caryl and Marilyn: Real Friends”, this multi-talented woman is an inspiration. She teaches parenting classes, designs jewelry and facilitates 2 women’s support groups and 2 writers’ support groups in L.A. She has co-authored three books (The Mother Load, Not Your Mother’s Midlife: A Ten Step Guide to Fearless Aging, and Fearless Women: Midlife Portraits), and is currently working on Reflections: Celebrating the Woman in the Mirror. Marilyn combines humor and comedy with wit and wisdom in everything she does: she is a veritable Boomer Babe. Visit the Fearless Aging website to find out more about what she’s up to next...
