Prime Time: 27 Lessons for the New Midlife -  The book

Feel like you’re turning the corner into a new stage of life? It might just be your Prime Time.

From bestselling author and podcast host Bec Wilson comes Prime Time: 27 Lessons for the New Midlife—a practical, inspiring guide for making the most of the powerful years from your late 40s through your 70s.

This isn’t about winding down. It’s about stepping up. In 27 punchy, practical lessons, Bec tackles everything from money and superannuation to work, purpose, health, happiness, family and travel. You’ll learn how to invest with confidence, build flexible income streams, and make the most of tax concessions. But this book goes far beyond the financials—because your Prime Time is about curiosity, meaning and momentum.

 Whether you’re reshaping your career, preparing for semi-retirement, chasing long-postponed dreams or just ready to prioritise you, this book is your playbook. It’s for anyone who doesn’t want to wait for retirement to start living the life they know they’re ready to really enjoy. 

Midlife is no longer the beginning of the end. With the right moves, it’s the start of something truly epic.

This is your Prime Time. Make it count.
