Choice of Attitude: Ruth Nolan on women’s independence, being an empty nester and choosing how you see things.

Author, professor and a former wildland firefighter Ruth Nolan, shares her American mom Beverly’s lessons on being kind to people and teaching everyone with respect; choosing your attitude in life; being independent in voice, career, selfhood and financially; and it never being too late to explore life. Ruth also talks about why the struggle for independence often skips generations, why women can never stop fighting for their rights, and about the experience of being an empty nester after her daughter and her mother moved away.
