Riding SOLO: A Bold Roadmap for Single Women in Midlife

A Science-Based Guide to Autonomy, Purpose, and Confidence

Not all women who walk alone are lost. Many are building intentional, fulfilling, and deeply free lives. Riding SOLO is a research-driven guide for single women in midlife who are ready to stop waiting and start living with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Grounded in behavioral science, positive psychology, and contemporary research on health, aging, and well-being, Dr. Tina M. Penhollow challenges outdated cultural narratives that position romantic partnership as the primary marker of success, security, and fulfillment. This book offers a clear reframe: singlehood is not a limitation. It is a strategic advantage. Through evidence-based insights, real-world application, and a structured framework, readers are guided to redesign midlife as a period of strength, autonomy, and intentional living.
