  • Dr Sharon Blackie: How Fairy tales hold the key to Midlife Reinvention
    Oct 11 2024

    What might the second half of women's lives look like if we rooted ourselves in positive stories about wise older women? On this episode Eleanor explores myths and fairy tales with psychotherapist and academic, Sharon Blackie.

    As Sharon argues: "I'd always had a deep rooted belief that fairy tales really work on us – the imagery in them, the archetypal characters – and help us to see how it might be possible to reimagine ourselves."

    Sharon's books – including her latest 'Wise Women' – bring together tales of women at midlife and beyond which have been lost - or actively suppressed - over the ages, and show Queenagers some inspiring ways we might think about the second half of our 100-year lives.

  • Dr Lucy Ryan: Challenging the Queenager career brain drain
    Sep 13 2024

    "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:

    1. 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).
    2. This causes women to leave, and then ...
    3. ... 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.
