Take a growth inventory
Go deeper
It is possible to flourish at every stage of life, says therapist Ruth Stitt, who urges looking back on your journey. “In our 60s, we come into a more reflective phase. Women often ask themselves, Did I live the life I wanted? Have I made a contribution?” Stitt acknowledges such questions can trigger despair. “People say things like, ‘I’m 68, and I’ve never traveled.’ But it’s never too late to bring meaning to your life.” She speaks from experience, writing her memoir to “rediscover the good and not-so-good aspects” of her past.

The Mary Tyler Moore SHOW
From That Girl in the 1960s to Ally McBeal in the 1990s to Sex and the City in the 2000s, television has long reflected the shifting image of independent women. Yet the true game-changer came in 1970, when The Mary Tyler Moore Show introduced Mary Richards—30, single, stylish and making her way in a newsroom full of men. Rather than being someone’s wife or daughter, she was the star, and she changed television forever. Join us for a look back at rare behind-the-scenes photos of the groundbreaking show as we celebrate its 55th anniversary.
