Description

The BBC presenter opens up about her struggle with the painful gynaecological condition adenomyosis, her decision to remain child-free and the difficulties of scrutiny and trolling when her job is in the public eye.


Naga exclusively talks about how the impact of her background and upbringing on her approach to her career, the racism she has experienced during that time, and how she discovered a love of golf in midlife.


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.
