Over 50 and Embracing New Beginnings

50 Women Over 50

Host Sherrilynne Starkie welcomes Historian Barbara Ann Mojica, author of the Little Miss History children’s books to episode 36 of the 50 Women Over 50 podcast.

After a long and successful career as a teacher and education leader, Barbara found herself divorced after a 30-year marriage. But she wasn’t alone for long before she met the man who would become her husband and collaborator. She says that now that she’s in her 60s she’s never been happier in her whole life.

In this interview Barbara tells us how she navigated the journey from her life as an educator, wife and mother to becoming a celebrated children’s author in collaboration with her new husband. You’ll see, she’s never left her love of teaching very far behind.
