Life Beyond 40
Founded by Ora Riley and Sandra Bailey, Life Beyond 40 is a space to narrate our own stories and normalize the conversations we’re already having as we navigate through the new and often unexpected experiences that can take place after age 40.
Life Beyond 40 is inspiration and motivation for women over 40 to love themselves unconditionally and embrace themselves fully – including the good, the bad and even the unfortunate experiences that have shaped them up to age 40 and beyond.
The Founders
Sandra Bailey, 43
Co-Founder
Newer to the decade of 40, Sandra has dedicated her career to being a problem solver and organizer for a variety of organizations and companies. When not setting a space for women in their 40’s to have complicated conversations about life, love and normalizing the entire experience, she is traveling the world and brunching with friends. She believes that dreams can come true at any age, and that no conversation should be off limits. We need each other and therefore let’s destigmatize hiding the realities of our life and feelings after 40!
Ora Riley, 50
