✨ Show Notes
This week on Reinvention Rebels, I’m celebrating the power of quiet transformation with Laureen, a content creator, model, and storyteller redefining what aging looks and feels like.
At 58, Laureen experienced a trifecta of change — her hair, home, and hormones — that sparked a deeper awakening. What started with an allergic reaction to hair dye became a journey of radical self-acceptance, self-trust, and creativity.
Through her Instagram platform @glowupsilver, Laureen inspires thousands of women to see aging not as something to fear, but as a new chapter of self-expression, curiosity, and joy.
In this heartfelt conversation, we explore what it means to unlearn the conditioning about who midlife women “should” be, listen to the whispers of intuition, and come home to the truth of who we already are.
In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
- How a “trifecta of change” — hair, home, and hormones — sparked Laureen’s midlife reinvention
- The quiet courage it took to let her natural silver shine
- How creativity, curiosity, and community became her lifelines
- What it means to reimagine aging and rewrite the rules for yourself
- Why midlife is not a crisis but an invitation to awaken

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
