Jeannette is joined by Eleanor Mills, bestselling Harper Collins author of 'Much More to Come' and founder of Noon, a community dedicated to empowering women in midlife. Eleanor shares her personal journey of transformation after leaving her long-standing role at The Sunday Times, discussing the challenges and opportunities that arise during midlife. The discussion also delves into the concept of midlife as a chrysalis rather than a crisis, emphasising the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and the power of community. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of midlife should be viewed not as a crisis but as a transformative period, where individuals can shed old identities and emerge as their true selves, embracing new opportunities and possibilities.Building a supportive community, like the Noon Circle, is essential for women navigating midlife transitions. Sharing experiences and stories in a safe space fosters connection and encourages personal growth.Taking the first step to engage with new experiences, whether through retreats or community gatherings, can be daunting but is crucial for rebuilding confidence and discovering one's voice.Acknowledging that you are enough as you are, without the need for external validation or societal standards, is a powerful step towards self-empowerment and authenticity. BEST MOMENTS "What we see with the women in the community is this sense of a huge shift into purpose... you really haven't got so much time to kind of waste or to kind of mess around with." "I think that when we really speak up and we say what we really mean and we're not afraid, that is what can change the world." "I think that there's also a massive opportunity, a kind of liberation to step into one's power and into a new and different version of oneself." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.
