This week my guest is Rachel Lankester. Founder of Magnificent Midlife. She has released her first book Magnificent Midlife Transform Your Middle Years, Menopause and Beyond

In our conversation, we unpack the issues with the accepted status quo and negative stereotypes associated with women’s midlife, menopause and ageing.

And focus on the possibilities inherent in this transformational time in a woman’s life. And why far from being the end menopause is an exciting catalyst for a more fulfilling next chapter in our lives.

Ebook and audiobook (narrated by Rachel) can be bought directly from the author. Paperback from Amazon and other major bookstores such as Waterstones.
