#309 Embracing the Mutton Club: Rachel Lankester on Midlife, Menopause, and Reinvention

"Menopause is a tunnel, not a cave. There’s goodness on the other side." So says Rachel Lancaster, author of "Magnificent Midlife: Transform Your Middle Years, Menopause and Beyond." She joins Lesley Jane Seymour to discuss the often-overlooked journey of menopause and midlife reinvention. Lankester shares her personal story of navigating early menopause and the societal misconceptions surrounding it, transforming her experience into a mission to empower women. From her humorous Mutton Club magazine to her insightful podcast, Lankester emphasizes the importance of reframing menopause as a time of opportunity rather than an end.
