What if midlife isn’t the slowdown everyone talks about — but the decade where your power truly expands?

In this solo episode, we explore The 100-Year Life by Professor Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott — a powerful reframe on ageing, wisdom, and work in a world where we’re living longer than ever before.

This conversation is for every woman who’s ever whispered, “Am I still relevant?” — and for anyone who’s ready to turn that question into a declaration: Absolutely YES.

I share the personal story of how, during my divorce, I reprogrammed my thinking and rebuilt my energy by telling myself a new truth — that I could “keep up,” stay curious, and design a life that keeps expanding.

Because longevity isn’t about time — it’s about depth.

It’s about evolving into the wisest, boldest version of yourself — and realising that the middle isn’t the mess, it’s the metamorphosis.

This episode is both a pep talk and a perspective shift — a reminder that menopause isn’t the end of fertility, it’s the birth of influence… and that legacy isn’t what you leave behind, it’s what you continue to create.

Mentioned in this episode:

  • Why midlife is the power decade of reinvention and contribution
  • The mindset shift that helps you stay relevant, vibrant, and curious
  • How I “tricked” my brain to rebuild confidence and energy after divorce
  • What The 100-Year Life teaches us about redefining purpose
  • Why wisdom — not youth — is the new currency
  • Menopause as the Mentor Era and the “CEO chapter” of life
  • How to build a legacy that keeps expanding
