Please join actress Alexandra Paul in conversation with her twin, New York Times best-selling author Caroline Paul, as they discuss Caroline’s newly published book, “Tough Broad: From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking, How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age.”
Also present to answer questions and offer insights will be two Ashland residents highlighted in the book: Dot Fisher-Smith, solo hiker and camper, and Sarah Paul (aka Mom), longtime member of the local bike group the Rogue Recyclers and one-time skydiver.
“Tough Broad” is author Caroline Paul’s (she/her) quest to understand not just how to live a dynamic life in a changing body, but why we must. She dives deep into the current research on getting older, highlighting the results with outdoor adventures that range from flying a gyrocopter, to scuba diving, to learning to swim, to walking in a park. “Tough Broad” is a high-spirited call for women to embrace the outdoors, not back away from it, in our fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond, casting our futures in a new and dazzling light.
Alexandra Paul is an actress with over 100 TV and movie credits. She is most known for starring on the TV series “Baywatch,” but she has also worked alongside the likes of Tom Hanks, Pierce Brosnan, and Kevin Costner. She currently hosts the healthy lifestyle vegan podcast Switch4Good. With an Ironman triathlon, marathons and long distance ocean swims under her belt, Alexandra is inspired after reading “Tough Broad” to continue outdoor adventures into her 60s and beyond. To keep up with her twin, she will have to!
Copies of “Tough Broad” will be available for purchase at the event.
