Taking on the beauty industry is no mean feat. But what else can you do when every product and purchase you consider carries a marketing message that you disagree with, with every fibre of who you are? Based in Philadelphia, this week’s guest is the founder of the Endless Beauty Collective. Dara Goldberg is fiercely proud to be a woman in midlife and she is on a mission to eradicate ageism in the beauty industry. She is a champion and advocate for women taking their power back and making a noise so loud that they have to be heard! Listen in to find out how confronting the vastness of her mission, and leaning into her belief that women deserve more, compelled Dara to transform her own personal experience of midlife from crisis to growth spurt. This episode is for women who are learning to speak truth to power and are ready to own their voice. MORE ABOUT MY GUEST: DARA GOLDBERG (FULL BIO ON PODPAGE) Dara Goldberg is a writer, speaker, pro age advocate, and the Founder of the Endless Beauty Collective, a national initiative designed to get the beauty industry to stop telling women their beauty declines with age and spending millions to try to avoid aging is the only answer.

#088: Looking back on: "Free Range Living: This Is Who I Am" with Kate Flounders
What does it mean to be a free range human? And how can you accelerate your success by celebrating your differences and becoming even more of who you really are? In last week’s interview (#087) I talked to Kate Flounders, founder of the Safeguarding Academy, and much of our conversation focussed on the inner work that Kate has done so that she could give herself permission to step into her power and own being who she really is. So how do we do that? Looking back on our conversation, this week I explore what we can learn from Kate about free range living and doing the inner work that enables us to own our voice and get our message heard. If you’re a woman on a mission who would love to move from striving to thriving, this week’s Insights episode is for you.

#090: Looking back on "Midlife: Crisis or Growth Spurt?" with Dara Goldberg
What does it mean to be in midlife? What if, instead of it being the end of everything you thought you knew, it was the most wonderful springboard to what lies ahead?
In last week’s interview (#089) I talked to Dara Goldberg, founder of the Endless Beauty Collective. Reaching the age of 42yrs changed everything for Dara and catapulted her right into the heart of her mission.
At the very point she feared she was ‘losing it’, she realised she was gaining SO much more!
Looking back on our conversation, this week I explore what we can learn from Dara about showing up out of choice and living on our own terms.
If you’re a woman on a mission who would love to embrace midlife and breathe new life into your mission, this week’s Insights episode is for you.
