Isabel Bolt grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and attended Loyola University. Throughout her life, she has assumed various roles, including daughter, sister, wife, mother, patient, lover, friend, and professional—all of which featured a cast of characters. She’s still trying to figure out the plot. Isabel currently lives in Dallas, Texas. This is her first book.
I sit down with debut author Isabel Bolt—a woman whose life has been anything but predictable. From raising a family and navigating a decades-long career, to surviving breast cancer (twice), divorce, and the wild world of online dating in her 60s—Isabel shares the raw, hilarious, and deeply moving lessons behind her first book.
We talk about the pressure of expectations, the beauty in life’s detours, how storytelling can become a powerful act of healing, and of course her new book “The Secret to Happiness is Low Expectations”. Isabel’s honesty, humor, and hard-won wisdom remind us that the real magic often happens in the mess—and that it’s never too late to find your voice, your story, and your power.
