Overcoming Self-doubt and an Insecure Mindset the Jill Phillips Way
This is an exciting and inspiring Living to 100 Club conversation with someone who has worked in her post-50 years to cultivate confidence, while overcoming self-doubt and breaking through long held limitations. Our guest, Jill Phillips, shares with our audience how she decided to pursue her life goals after retirement. This included pursuing a graduate degree, writing a book about growing up in London in the early 1960’s, and running a 5k marathon. Jill is checking off items on her bucket list and helping others do the same.
For our guest, age is not a limitation. As she says, “We can succeed in goals we never thought we could accomplish. We can re-position our mindset and cultivate our confidence.” Jill shares the ways she overcame her self-doubt and self-limiting ideas. And she offers ways others can overcome many of their own struggles, too.
Importantly, we explore a world that can’t be visited anymore – South East London, 1963 – when we discuss her book, Lamlash Street: A Portrait of the 1960’s Post-war London.
