Barbara Ballinger
Author, writer, award-winning journalist, and highly-requested public speaker. My latest book - Not Dead Yet: Rebooting Your Life after 50 – co-authored with my long-time collaborator Margaret Crane, has been called “a field guide to living a joyful life as we age.” An engaging follow-up to our previous, best-selling, book - Suddenly Single After 50 – Not Dead Yet is a refreshingly funny take on living with purpose, meaning, and joy in daily life, regardless of challenges. Pre-orders available here: https://bit.ly/Not-dead-yet
Previous titles I have authored or co-authored range from popular books about interior design and landscaping to insightful and inspirational books about business success.
My articles have appeared in the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, House Beautiful, Travel & Leisure, the Robb Report, Realtor, the American Bar Association Journal, Crain’s Chicago Business, Edible Hudson, Hudson Valley Magazine, and nexttribe.com among others, and I blog regularly on our site: Life Lessons at 50 Plus
I have been a featured speaker on numerous podcasts and radio shows as well as live appearances promoting my books or as a design and real estate expert. Media appearances include Oprah Winfrey TV.
