Description

Comedienne, podcast host and author Cally Beaton joins Ateh on the podcast this week to discuss empty nest syndrome, how to have an amicable divorce and why letting go of control has worked for her.


Cally left her job as a high-flying corporate TV executive at 50 and completely changed careers thanks to advice from the late Joan Rivers. Despite being a single mum and breadwinner, Cally took the leap - and she's never looked back.


Second Act is the podcast and community for women in midlife who refuse to fade into the background.


Join host, midlifer, mum-of-two and divorcee Ateh Jewel as she navigates her own second act by speaking to celebrity guests about what age means to them, and how they're approaching this new phase of life.


If you've got a question or dilemma you'd like Ateh, her celebrity guests and experts to answer, drop her a line at ⁠secondactpod@hellomagazine.com⁠ and make sure to tune in to hear the answer.
