About Us
Hello and welcome to Women Blazing Trails. Thank you for stopping by! I want to share a wee bit about me so you know who is behind the wheel here!
My name is Iva
I am a 60-something Canadian expat currently living in Guatemala. I came down here in October of 2015 with the intent of only staying 4-6 months. This is now a place I call home. One of the main reasons I came down here was to help stop malnutrition and put a dent in hunger. A large portion of all the money I make online goes into feeding hungry little bellies and dogs.
(ok and one more reason was to escape Canadian winters!! brrrrrr)
I am a former hairstylist turned freelance writer, and my goal and mission with this website is to inspire, motivate, and encourage women around the world to step into their own personal power and live the life they deserve, one of crazy, ridiculous joy.
Who is this site for?
I started this site 10 years ago to help women over 50 start over in life, build self-confidence, leave toxic relationships, boost their self-esteem, and so much more.
And here we are, 10 years later, and I now write for women over 60 who are trying to navigate aging and life over 60 as best they can. Now, I write about health and wellness for seniors, anti-aging skincare, mental health for seniors and all issues around aging.
So, in a nutshell, this site is for women over 50 and 60 who just need someone on their side as they grow through the second chapter of their life.
Your voice Matters!
If you would like to guest post (which I think would be amazing), please shoot me an email at [email protected], and let’s talk!! This site is from my heart to yours, from me to you, for all of us.
Mad love xo Iva xo
