Summary
"Warm, honest and true - A Woman Makes a Plan is full of insight as well as a good dose of humor, offering readers a lifetime of hard-won advice." (Diane Von Furstenberg)
The international supermodel shares personal stories and lessons learned from a life of "living dangerously - carefully"
Maye Musk is a fashionable, charming, jet-setting supermodel with a fascinating and tight-knit circle of family and friends - and is 71 years old. But things were not always so easy or glamorous - she became a single mom at 31, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietitian, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents. But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life."
As everyone who follows her obsessively on social media knows, Maye is a fount of frank and practical advice on how the choices you make in every decade can pay off in surprising, exciting ways throughout your life. In A Woman Makes a Plan, Maye shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything). You can't control all that happens in life, but you can have the life you want at any age. All you have to do is make a plan.

The woman's Handbook
Truly inspiring. Pass it on to anyone who could do with some inspirational advice.
It's the kinda of life story that every women can resonate with on some level.
Life's ups and downs, relationships, children, career, further education.
From an extraordinary childhood. An abusive marriage. To becoming a single mother starting over.
Maye Musk shares her wisdom with great encouragement, she motivates the listener to follow their own hopes and dreams and never be afraid to take a chance.
A super model in her 70s she also shares her wealth of knowledge in diet, health, beauty tips and etiquette.
This story is inspiring to women of all ages however, the younger generations could learn a lot from it.
Maye Musks modelling career has covered all genres, her magazine covers show her in elegant gowns to futuristic, street style fashion, she rocks it all.
A life lived, a story to be heard.

A great example of grit & determination
Maye is a great narrator!
Nobody is an overnight success and Maye's story reveals how taking a chance, breaking societal norms combined with a positive, hard working attitude result in a truly fulfilled life. Thank you for sharing with us all x

learn about life challenges
From my point of view that I had a beautiful experience and got more knowledge and express so many emotions that's was related to the same words that I've had heard from my mother as well. I want to say that this book is a gift for every woman who lost her mother/divorced /Had bad experiences /lost hope. This book teaches more about life. I loved it all and it just makes sense most of it. the sense of humour made a more glamorous story Thank you Maye Musk you are a treasure. God bless you.

A wonderful memoir by an interesting lady!
I didn’t realize this would be a memoir. I thought it was more of a “How to...” book. But it IS a memoir, read by the author herself (is there anyone better?)!
I enjoyed hearing of her life studying nutrition (she’s more than just a pretty face!). I was impressed by her survival story of being married to snd escaping a battering man (as I was, too). I enjoyed hearing of her successes as if I was hearing them from a friend over a coffee!
Her recommendations/suggestions are gentle “this is what works for me,” rather than the typical “this is what you must do!”
Highly recommend this book, if not just to make you smile!
Thank you, Maye!

Really grateful for Maye
Just the life experience I have been needing to hear about. A refreshing view point about aging that breaks through all the usual grumbles you hear from people at this age. I am really grateful for Maye and her experience. It's like advice from an older sister or Mom you have never had. There are so many key points I can draw from after having listened to this. Absolutely grateful!
