Queenagers claim the freedom of teens with the authority of a queen.

In Queenagers: The Wise Woman’s Guide to Thriving After Fifty, National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach Karen Malkin offers a bold new vision for the decades after fifty: a time when women can bring hard-won wisdom, greater self-knowledge, and renewed possibility to the way they live.

Drawing on fifteen years of coaching women and the science of aging, nutrition, sleep, hormones, fitness, and brain health, Malkin shows how much influence women still have over their energy, strength, resilience, and well-being. She explores the systems that shape vitality in the queen years, from anti-inflammatory nutrition and strength training to menopause, stress, sleep, belonging, and the heart-brain connection, translating the research into choices women can actually use.

At the center of the book is Malkin’s Vision-MAP, a practical coaching framework for identifying what matters most and aligning everyday life around it. Stories from her coaching practice bring the framework to life and show what lasting change looks like in the messy reality of work, family, health, and competing demands.

Warm, rigorous, practical, and gloriously honest, Queenagers gives women a way to approach life after fifty with greater clarity, vitality, authority, and joy.

It’s time to join the party, Queenager.
