In this thought-provoking interview series from the RSA, Matthew Taylor, puts a range of leading thinkers on the spot - from writers to business leaders, politicians to journalists - by asking for big ideas to help build effective bridges to our new future.

In her latest book, 'Hagitude', Sharon Blackie shares her personal story alongside potent female figures from history to offer a rich vision of how we can grow into a more connected and creative second half of life. She joins Matthew to talk maturity, menopause and myth - and why all women at a certain stage in their life should embrace their 'inner hag'.

Sharon Blackie is an award-winning writer, psychologist and mythologist. Her books, courses, lectures and workshops are focused on the development of the mythic imagination, and on the relevance of myth, fairy tales and folk traditions to the personal, cultural and environmental problems we face today. Her latest book is, 'Hagitude: Reimagining the Second Half of Life'.
