About This Event

What happens when you start questioning the script you've been handed and start asking what you truly want? Poorna Bell joins the growing movement of women in midlife who are rethinking the expectations that have shaped their lives – from the pressure to please others to the narratives we’ve absorbed about careers, relationships, motherhood, ageing, beauty and success. In conversation with comedian Cariad Lloyd , she explores how to find the confidence to define your own success and create a life that reflects who you are. This is a call to arms for women everywhere: to demand more, live more intentionally and reclaim themselves. There will be a book signing after this event. Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Literature Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
