Second Act is the podcast and community for women in midlife who refuse to fade into the background. Join midlifer Ateh Jewel as she speaks to celebrity guests about the moment they knew they were in their 'second act', and how they're changing the game in their next one. We're not interested in any of the usual stereotypes about age - whether you're 40 plus, 60 plus or 100 plus this is the place for you. No topic is off-limits. We'll be covering fashion, beauty, menopause, parents, kids, spouses, sex and more. Send in your questions and dilemmas to [email protected], and together with celebrity guests and experts, we will help bring you the clarity and community you've been looking for.
