PODCAST
Show Notes
Nina Lorez Collins
Join Stephanie O’Dell, founder of Celebrate The Gray in conversation with Nina Lorez Collins, founder of What Would Virginia Woolf Do? and The Woolfer. The Woolfer grew from a 2015 secret Facebook community that Collins started at the age of 46 called What Would Virginia Woolf Do?
Nina’s initial post about her perimenopause symptoms garnered such engagement that she developed a private forum where her friends, typically well-read, super savvy feminists, could gather and talk with candor about the joys and indignities of aging.
The entrepreneur and former literary agent who is based in Brooklyn and is a mother to four young adults, Nina has created a vibrant community of women centered on disrupting social norms around aging.
The Woolfer is dedicated to women over the age of 40, the thriving international community of 5,000 members with a reach of 25,000 people, discuss everything from lipstick to incontinence, feminism to the latest Netflix series, erectile dysfunction to Empty Nesting, and everything in between. With the natural progression of the group,
Collins launched her Raging Gracefully podcast series, released her first book, What Would Virginia Woolf Do? And Other Questions I Ask Myself As I Attempt To Age Without Apology, and launched impactful virtual and IRL events.
