Mary Lou Dickinson is an author, advocate, and lifelong storyteller who published her first book at age 70 and is now releasing her memoir at 87. A true late bloomer, Mary Lou built a meaningful career helping women in crisis before turning her full attention to writing. From working in remote Canadian mining towns to supporting women through abuse helplines and finally becoming a six-time published author, her life is a testament to resilience, creativity, and reinvention at any age.
In this episode, Mary sits down with Christina to discuss her journey from the silent generation to published novelist and memoirist. They talk about growing up in a gold mining town, pursuing education and independence despite societal limitations, and how Mary Lou found her voice later in life. With warmth, wisdom, and pink hair, Mary Lou shares the joy of writing, the power of helping others, and why it’s never too late to start something new.
