Naomi Watts: What I Wish I Knew In My 30s
You’ve seen her on screen for decades, but what you might not know is that Naomi Watts was told by Hollywood she’d be “done” by 40 and at 36, while her career was taking off, she was already in perimenopause. For years, she carried her symptoms in silence, afraid that talking about menopause would end her career.
Today, Naomi is rewriting the script. She’s built Stripes, a brand dedicated to women in midlife, and is changing how Hollywood, and the world, talks about aging, identity, and reinvention.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The shock of being told you’re “close to menopause” in your 30s
- Why silence and stigma kept Naomi from sharing her struggles for years
- How she built a company that puts menopause front and center
- The surprising conversations happening on Hollywood sets right now
- Why love, confidence, and purpose often come later in life
If you’ve ever felt invisible, “too old,” or unsure of what comes next, this conversation will leave you seen, validated, and inspired to own your story.
