Lisa May Bennett is a repeat late bloomer who writes about personal growth and trying new things on her blog, Bittersweet Nugget. Lisa first decided she wanted to be a writer at eleven years old but struggled for years with self-doubt and anxiety. Now, she has published her first book at age fifty-six and hopes to serve as an example for others who wonder if it’s too late to chase their dreams. (No, it’s not.) Lisa worked in the nonprofit sector for nearly two decades, serving as the communications director at the National Organization for Women for thirteen years. She also worked in Nielsen ratings research in New York City, in marketing for an online education company, and performing community outreach for a fitness studio. She is currently a caretaker, freelancer, and habit-development enthusiast. She has lived up and down the East Coast of the United States and now resides on a lake in Maryland with her husband, her mom, two cats, and a dog. Lisa enjoys paddleboarding, yoga, and dancing in the kitchen. She plans to cross the country in an RV with her husband one day.
