Kathy Sledge: This is the secret to a happy 45-year marriage

In this week’s episode of HELLO!’s Second Act podcast, Sister Sledge frontwoman Kathy Sledge opens up about the hit that almost broke up her family, secrets to keeping her 45 year marriage alive and why you should never be a ‘lamp’ in a relationship.

As a teenager in the 70s, Kathy Sledge had global success singing iconic hits such as We Are Family with her band of sisters, and touring with the Jackson 5. But after spending her entire working life as the crowd-pleasing front woman of Sister Sledge, the mother of two felt something switch inside her when she turned 50.

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.
