A former corporate sales standout turned Lifestyle Coach and speaker, Dobbs delves into the emotional underpinnings that propel formidable women to not only endure but thrive in the aging process. Dobbs' transformation into a self-proclaimed badass was triggered by a pivotal moment when she stumbled upon a text minimizing her worth with the label 'Old White Woman.' Undeterred, the seventy-five-year-old dynamo responded by packing her bags for a spontaneous thousand-mile motorcycle journey.
Awaking to the empowering strains of Alicia Keys' 'Girl on Fire,' she channeled this experience into a compelling narrative with the rallying cry: 'Aging is a Frickin' Privilege.' The book weaves together inspiring stories of women who have defiantly 'Flipped the Script on Aging,' employing diverse disciplines and alternative life-changing therapies. Dobbs provides readers with a comprehensive guide to cultivating the resilience and mental toughness necessary to challenge prevailing narratives about aging and awaken their inner badass. She emphasizes the importance of accessing self-motivation and improved health by tapping into an energy highway. Throughout the pages, Dobbs generously shares anecdotes, strategies, and practical exercises gleaned from the experiences of badass women. These insights serve as a roadmap to enhance mental and physical well-being while reaffirming one's core identity.
In its entirety, 'Badass Old White Woman' offers a sweeping overview and unapologetic journey toward rediscovering purpose in the later chapters of life.
Dobbs’ defining moment ignited her inner badass when her contractor showed her a text from a colleague: "Give this woman a fair quote she’s in my real estate investment group."
“She’s an Old White Woman”
Dobbs took her hurt feelings and Seventy-five-year-old ass to the bedroom, to pack for a four-day thousand mile motorcycle trip.
The following morning, she woke to the tune of Alicia Keys, “Girl on Fire”. Then she started to write. Her inspired battle cry.

Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a simple and straightforward technique for resolving emotional and psychological issues. TFT utilizes acupressure points, which the client activates by simply tapping them with their fingertips while thinking about the specific problem. This process has the capability of disabling and often completely eliminating troublesome emotional and physical responses.
