About the Author

Here’s your author bio with your name and pronouns included:

At 68 years old, Carol Setters is just as surprised by that number as anyone else is about their own age. Grateful to still be here, she considers it a stroke of luck to have navigated life mostly unscathed—aside from developing a darker sense of humor and a quicker instinct for calling out nonsense. Carol values friendships with those who offer fresh perspectives, engage deeply with the changes in their bodies and communities, and recognize the wisdom and experience that come with age.

Understanding that aging brings its share of challenges—injuries, disabilities, and other physical and mental betrayals—she is convinced that staying engaged, maintaining physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being, and resisting small-mindedness are key to remaining self-directed. While society and pharmaceutical ads may paint a narrow picture of what it means to grow older, Carol finds inspiration in elders who defy those expectations—activists, artists, athletes, and craftspeople who are at the top of their game. And then there are those, like herself, the garden-variety older folks, with stories to tell as well.

Believing in the power of fresh ideas to keep life fulfilling and vibrant, Carol hopes to share insights that inspire others to make the most of their later years. And if readers have stories to share in return, even better.
