Record-breaking, Olympic gold medal-winning athlete Sally Gunnell knows a thing or two about what it takes to be mentally strong to succeed in life.

But she had to find another level of inner strength when she reached the starting line of the peri-menopause in her 40s.

Now a broadcaster, motivational speaker and personal trainer, Sally shared the changes menopause had on her body, her secret to a long and happy marriage, and what it's like to work with your children.

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.

Second Act is sponsored by Absolute Collagen.
