A Community Partner Program. For adults. Registration required.

Join Canadian author Trudy Driscoll for an engaging and relatable discussion on ditching guilt, personal growth, and the journey of writing and self-publishing her book Breaking Free After 50: Ditch Guilt, Find Peace, Rediscover You.

Through storytelling and real-life insight, Trudy shares how life transitions can become powerful turning points—whether you’re exploring something new, letting go of old expectations, or simply asking, “What’s next?”

This talk offers inspiration for women navigating midlife change. There will plenty of time after her presentation for questions and conversation.

Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase after the event ($20; cash or e-transfer accepted).

About the Author
Trudy Driscoll is a Canadian author who writes about personal growth, resilience, and rediscovering purpose in midlife. Her newest book, Breaking Free After 50, encourages women to move beyond guilt and overwhelm to reclaim peace and personal truth.
