This week on Two Women Chatting, Michelle welcomes actress and advocate Tamzin Outhwaite for a heartfelt and empowering conversation about navigating midlife, finding strength in sisterhood, and building community through shared experience. From the highs of her acting career to the deeply personal challenges of grief, menopause, and hormonal shifts, Tamzin opens up with warmth, honesty, and humour.
Have you ever felt like you’re juggling too much, or that your female friendships offer more fulfilment than romance? Tamzin shares how her platonic bonds have become her emotional foundation and how her initiative We Free Women is helping others find that same strength and connection. Whether you’re approaching midlife or deep in the thick of it, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that community can be the most powerful medicine of all.
Key Insights:
🎙️ Acting as Connection: For Tamzin, acting has always been about creating human connection. It’s a way of telling stories that resonate - and it’s what keeps her passionate about her craft.
🎙️ Midlife, Menopause & Hormones: Tamzin speaks candidly about managing hormonal changes and embracing the shifts that come with midlife. Understanding your body is essential to feeling empowered.
🎙️ The Power of Platonic Love: Tamzin shares how her deep, loyal female friendships fill her emotional cup - so much so that there’s no space for romance right now!
🎙️ Regaining Power in Midlife: From saying no more often to finding comfort in spiritual techniques, Tamzin talks about the quiet revolution of reclaiming personal power as a woman in midlife.
🎙️ We Free Women & Helping Others Heal: Born from her own journey through grief, We Free Women is a collective supporting women through retreats, connection, and sisterhood - especially for those who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
