During the second hour, my dear friend, Maria Paola is back to tell us all about the launch of her latest catalog, The Women of Boston Directory, spotlighting women’s businesses. Maria is committed to helping Second Lifer Women grow their businesses, feel empowered and good about themselves.

“I feel very strongly about establishing networks for women - that is why I started The Women of Boston.... specifically for women over 45. Because I feel that all women should support each other, I decided to start a directory / magazine that will feature strong, powerful, amazing women while helping businesses grow.”
