Women in leadership special part 1: Lorraine Candy on midlife liberation
We chat to Lorraine Candy, journalist and author of ‘What’s Wrong with Me? 101 Things Midlife Women Need to Know’
Hello, did you miss us? We’re beginning Season 8 with a series of special episodes devoted to women in leadership. And we’re kicking off this season with one hell of a guest.
We’re joined by the one and only Lorraine Candy, award winning journalist, co-host of the phenomenally successful podcast Postcards from Midlife, and author. Her new book, ‘What’s Wrong With Me?: 101 Things Midlife Women Need to Know’ is out now in paperback. We wanted to find out what lessons Lorraine’s book has for the workplace, and what leaders need to do differently.
This was an eye opening conversation for us. We discuss the transformation - and liberation- that women experience in midlife, and how this chapter is a time of change which forces many of us to sit with loss and painful feelings. We talk about the menopause, and perimenopause. And we discuss the strength and freedom which lies on the other side of midlife turbulence. Lorraine shares invaluable advice on how leaders and employers can better support women through it all.
Thank you to Lorraine for kicking off our new season with an inspiring, uplifting conversation.
