About this listen

"Warm, honest and true - A Woman Makes a Plan is full of insight as well as a good dose of humor, offering readers a lifetime of hard-won advice." (Diane Von Furstenberg)

The international supermodel shares personal stories and lessons learned from a life of "living dangerously - carefully"

Maye Musk is a fashionable, charming, jet-setting supermodel with a fascinating and tight-knit circle of family and friends - and is 71 years old. But things were not always so easy or glamorous - she became a single mom at 31, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietitian, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents. But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life."

As everyone who follows her obsessively on social media knows, Maye is a fount of frank and practical advice on how the choices you make in every decade can pay off in surprising, exciting ways throughout your life. In A Woman Makes a Plan, Maye shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything). You can't control all that happens in life, but you can have the life you want at any age. All you have to do is make a plan.

honest, warm and encouraging

I started the book with a bias, thinking this is Elon’s Mom. I finished the book knowing her as Maye Musk.

No one is born a audio reader and her “robotic way” as some other review might say actually fits her character as you get to know her story. Simple, straightforward, honest and hardworking.

while life can’t be replicated, the tools/perspectives/attitudes we have towards life are shareable and her advices and sincere and non-pretentious.

I enjoyed the book more than i expected.

A book I wish I would have read four years ago

After surviving the fallout from abuse and neglect, I can only comment that I wish I had read this book sooner.

Adventure, Work, Hope, Love, and Family

Maye Musk had an interesting childhood. Her parents were hard working and managed to live a life full of adventure too. They loved one another and their children. As the story moves forward, she shares her struggles in life and her mistakes hoping to help others make wiser choices. She does this in a down to earth and caring way. The chapters regarding her marriage are difficult and sad. From her marriage came her three children. and If there is an enduring theme, it is the love of her family. Building her practice as a registered dietician in multiple cities and countries is an important part of her journey. Modeling was part of her life and provided income. In her younger days, her life was less about glamour and more about work, family, struggle and persistence. As she became older, her life became more glamorous and her modeling career reached even greater success. But success has many aspects, and I think it is her love and hope that makes this book so valuable to read or listen to.

I normally read print books. Maye Musk read the book and I would recommend the audio version to other readers.

As fabulous as the author herself

An inspirational, optimistic, funny at times and encouraging story of one strong and beautiful woman. Maye Musk is a role model not only for fashion models or women of her age. Her message is relevant to so many of us. So glad a friend recommended her book to me.

Nice memoir of an intelligent and beautiful woman

I love her life story - full of life, hope, struggle, work, kids, and, of course, modeling. Something to think about, to learn from, to smile, to write down and to enjoy. Good book and charming voice of the author!

I couldn’t keep it down and finished in one day.

Fascinating lifetime journey and inspirational.
Time, patience, self discipline, challenge yourself out of your comfort zone and be brave to failed are your best tools to success.

Quick assumption of “just because you are pretty everything is easy”, this is nonsense.
