Description
We need a new story about midlife for women, because you’re never too old and it’s never too late to become the woman you always wanted to be.
Join host Eleanor Mills as she explores a more optimistic narrative around the later stages of women’s lives, with guests drawn from a contacts book spanning 25 years as an award winning editor and newspaper journalist. Eleanor is founder of NOON.org.uk, the home of the Queenager - the term she coined to positively rebrand women in midlife.
The Queenager podcast explores AI to midlife bodies, sex, why women over 45 are being purged from the workforce and more. This podcast celebrates reinvention and embracing this ‘age of becoming’. And with bonus Debrief episodes where Eleanor is joined by Women’s Centred transformational coach Wendy Lloyd, it also provides helpful insights to support listeners through their own midlife maelstrom.
Eleanor’s optimistic narrative around the later stages of women’s lives was born out of her own midlife maelstrom. Now, having been made redundant from the job that defined her for 25 years, she feels happier in her 50s and more purposeful and energised than ever. And with NOON’s world-first research showing this to be true for many other women, it’s clear that these are stories the world needs to hear. For more, checkout Eleanor’s book Much More to Come, published by HarperCollins.

"No one wants to read about old women," an advisor told Dr. Lucy Ryan, which spurred her to write her book Revolting Women: Why Midlife Women are Walking Out and What to Do About It. It proved him wrong.The Sunday Times praised the coach and positive psychologist's searing analysis of the Queenager Braindrain. Why it is that 30 years after men and women entered the workforce in equal numbers, women still make up less than 20 percent of managers? Lucy's 3-part diagnosis: Midlife Collision (backed up by Eleanor Mills's research at noon.org.uk, which found that over half of women have been through at least five massive life events – divorce, bereavement, redundancy, caring for elderly parents, abuse, empty nest, or young offspring with mental health difficulties, their own health challenges, menopause... which often hit altogether). This causes women to leave, and then ... ... Gendered ageism in employers makes it hard for women to get another job. And that's before we start talking about 'the revolt' – that sense of 'I just can't be fxxxxed to be pleasing anymore'. The Revolt is about redefining career success in new ways — ways that nourish every aspect of life.Join Lucy and Eleanor for a masterclass in midlife women and work – and how to kick-start your career again.
