Carol Vorderman on finding her voice (and how!) at 60
Manage episode 440317152 series 2783875
My guest today is a woman who has truly come into her own in middle-age. A broadcaster, engineer, statistician and entrepreneur, at the age of 63 Carol Vorderman is now best known for fearlessly calling power to account.
Sick of the sleaze and corruption she saw emanating from our politicians she decided it was time to speak up.
And her million twitter followers and listeners to her LBC show listened. Why? Because she’s one of us. An ordinary kid from a working class background, brought up by a single mum in North Wales.
Carol is also a patron of Menopause Mandate, has been named one of the 25 most influential women by Vogue, and she’s got an MBE. You get the picture.
Now she’s written a book, Now What? A book about politics for people who think politics isn’t for them.
Carol joined me to talk candidly about menopause and gaining her voice at 60, The lifelong impact of being a free school meals kid, The importance of financial independence and Why she won’t be cowed by bullies and trolls. She also gives us a useful lesson in how to spot a narcissist.
Carol vorderman is living life without apology. And I’m here for it.
