Jane Fallon: I became brave and bonkers after perimenopause

Bestselling author and former TV producer Jane Fallon opens up about quitting her successful career to follow her dream job in midlife, why she decided not to have children with her partner of almost 40 years Ricky Gervais, her views on aging and how insomnia inspired her bravest move.
