Do you have a story that you want to share with the world, but are afraid you’re too old to learn new skills and publish a book?Our guest, Mildred J. Mills, embodies the essence of living life without limits!Growing up in Alabama and the 3rd of 17 children from the same parents, Mildred is not your typical septuagenarian. In fact, she's blowing the lid off every age-related expectation society holds.At 68 Mildred waltzed back into the classroom and earned a Masters in Creative Writing at 71. Soon after she launched a popular podcast, My Cotton Patch Moment, and then published a book at 72 – a poignant memoir called Daddy's House: A Daughter's Memoir of Setbacks, Triumphs, and Rising Above Her Roots!Out of the profound depths of her experiences, Mildred's work is a testament to an indomitable spirit that sees age not as a barrier, but as motivation to embrace new challenges and share deeply personal narratives.I especially loved Mildred’s advice about the importance of mentorship to enhance one's craft, irrespective of age, which she learned firsthand from the tremendous mentorship she received from master memoirist Beverly Donofrio.Mildred would be delighted to join your book club for a reading of her book Daddy’s House – contact information is on her website, and you can purchase a copy here.I know you will love hearing Mildred’s fascinating stories  – and listening to her captivating voice!Be sure to connect with Mildred via:Website: https://milmilcreations.com/Podcast: https://sites.libsyn.com/455796Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mildredjmills/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mildred.j.millsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@millmilcreationsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mildredjmills/If you found inspiration from this conversation, please rate, review and share this episode.I’d love to hear your thoughts, so be sure to hop on over to Don’t Be Caged By Your Age on LinkedIn or Instagram.
