Author Maria Olsen: “Midlife Happiness Is More Akin To Serenity”
Maria Olsen, 53, grew up brown in a sea of white and always felt different. She learned to please others and adapt herself to fit in, making sure everyone around her was content – everyone except her. For years she drowned her sorrows with alcohol, but at 50 came to a halt and decided it was time to radically change direction. Pursuing fifty life-changing quests that took her out of her comfort zone helped her find peace and happiness. Radio talk show co-host, women’s writing and empowerment coach, mentor, public speaker, author, recovery sponsor and attorney, Maria has more than one string to her bow and shows us that it’s never too late to improve, change and thrive.

It’s time to challenge stereotypes, encouraging a future where we can all embrace growing older, smashing preconceptions about ageing and making women over 40 more visible.
Smart Stories for Midlife Bloomers
CrunchyTales.com is the first illustrated online magazine on a mission to reset the meaning of middle age. Founded and edited by Michela Di Carlo, in collaboration with the Art Director Stefania Tomasich, it aims to empower those ladies who don’t let age define them, women over 40 and beyond who need to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Our news and features on lifestyle, food & wine, travel, wellbeing are specially tailored for the late bloomers; those women who are evolving rather than disappearing, open to change, and confident to start a positive revolution at any stage of their life.
Midlife is a great chance to rediscover yourself and reinvent a new path. Make us part of your journey!
Why ‘CrunchyTales®’?
Usually, crunchy conversations involve difficult or tough topic talks that have the potential to make us vulnerable or uncomfortable (in this case ageism or midlife issues for example). Via our magazine and panel discussions, we want to address these subjects in a better way, showing to ladies over 40 that the best has yet to come. Crunchy means also tasty, crispy, or something that makes a sharp noise. We want to encourage women in their middle age to speak up and say it loud: we are not over the hill! We deserve to be seen and heard. We are here to celebrate their strengths and wisdom.
