Description

You know the name Musk. But before Elon built rockets and electric cars, before Kimbal built farm-to-table restaurants, before Tosca built film studios — their mother Maye was already building something extraordinary: a life entirely on her own terms, rebuilt from scratch, more times than most people would survive.

In A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success, Maye Musk — supermodel, registered dietitian, international speaker, and one of the most remarkable women alive — delivers the most honest, practical, and genuinely inspiring guide to womanhood ever written by someone who has actually lived everything she is describing.

This is not theory. This is a life. And what a life it is.

Who Maye Musk Is:

Raised in South Africa and Canada, she spent her childhood travelling the Kalahari Desert with her adventuring family
Married young to a man who became abusive — and left him with three children and almost nothing
Raised Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca alone — working five jobs simultaneously at one point to survive
Built a career as a model and dietitian spanning five decades across multiple continents
At 69, became the oldest woman ever to appear on the cover of Time magazine
At 70, signed with a major modelling agency — and has never stopped working since

What This Book Covers:

On Building Your Own Plan:

Why waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect partner, or the perfect circumstances is the most expensive mistake a woman can make
How to set goals that are genuinely yours — not the ones society, family, or culture assigned to you
Why having a plan — even an imperfect one — is always better than waiting for someone else to plan your life
How to revise your plan as circumstances change without losing your direction

On Resilience and Starting Over:

What it actually feels like to leave a dangerous marriage with three children and no financial safety net — and how Maye did it
How she rebuilt her career, her confidence, and her life from near-zero multiple times
Why starting over at any age is not a failure — it is a strategy
The specific mental habits that kept her moving forward when everything around her was falling apart

On Career and Financial Independence:

Why financial independence is not optional — it is the foundation of every other freedom a woman has
How Maye built multiple income streams across modelling, nutrition, speaking, and writing
The practical, unsexy discipline of managing money carefully when you have almost none
Why a woman who controls her own income controls her own story

On Health, Beauty, and Ageing:

Maye’s evidence-based, no-nonsense approach to nutrition and physical wellbeing across every decade of life
Why the beauty industry profits from women’s insecurity — and how to stop participating in that transaction
How Maye became more in demand as a model in her 60s and 70s than she was in her 30s — and what that teaches us about confidence, presence, and authenticity
What real beauty looks like when it stops trying to be young

On Motherhood Without a Partner:

The extraordinary story of raising three children largely alone — including the one who would go on to change the world
What Maye gave her children that no amount of money could have provided
How she balanced survival with presence — and what she would do differently
The relationship between a mother’s self-belief and her children’s ambition

On Adventure and Joy:

Why the willingness to try new things, go to new places, and meet new people is a life philosophy, not a personality type
How Maye has lived in multiple countries, built careers in multiple cities, and remained genuinely curious about life at every age
Why joy is not something that happens to you — it is something you pursue with the same discipline as any other goal

Who This Book Is For:

Women at any age who feel stuck, underestimated, or uncertain about their next chapter
Young Kenyan women building careers and lives and wanting a blueprint from someone who did it against extraordinary odds
Single mothers who are raising children while rebuilding themselves simultaneously
Women in or recovering from difficult relationships who need proof that the other side exists and is worth reaching
Professional women who want permission — from someone who earned it — to keep reinventing themselves
Every woman who has ever been told she is too old, too much, or too late

Why Kenyan Women Are Buying This Book: Maye Musk’s story — a woman who survived, rebuilt, and ultimately thrived through sheer determination, careful planning, and relentless self-belief — speaks directly to the reality of millions of Kenyan women navigating impossible pressures with insufficient support. She is not an heiress. She is not a woman who was given anything. She is a woman who made a plan — and kept making new ones when the first ones were destroyed. That is a story every Kenyan woman will recognise in their bones.
