Dr Julie Hannan is a Psychologist in private practice in the UK helping 'midlifers' aged 35-60 find their value, meaning and purpose in life as they traverse the tricky terrain of their middle years. When both her children left home within 4 months of each other, she found that her sense of purpose reduced, her love for her clinical work diminished and she experienced a midlife crisis with an overriding sense of feeling lost. A midlife crisis is a crisis of identity and research suggests that 1 in 10 midlifers experience it. Searching for information to support and understand what she was going through was thin on the ground either too highbrow without practical tips to help or too lightweight and full of cliches, again without a clear path to recovery. Julie has spent years working with midlifers helping them to live the second half of their life in a more authentic, connected way and regaining a new sense of purpose. She has taken her experience to TikTok where her posts help and guide other people through their midlife crisis towards a fulfilling second half of life. Julie is proud to be publishing her book later this year which is full of information and practical tips and advice to overcome a midlife crisis. She says, 'This is the book I needed when my crisis hit!'. Grab Her New Book HERE.

291: Fashion Do's and Don'ts in Midlife with Wendy from Goodbye Crop Top
Wendy first created Goodbye Crop Top in response to a profound lack of women her age across the media landscape. 49 years old at the time, she noticed it was a rare thing to see women over 40 portrayed in a positive way in print, on television or across social media platforms. Even worse than stereotypical representation, it seemed to her that women over 50—and even women over 40—were largely erased out there and made irrelevant. She feels so great about getting older, that she felt insulted when she didn't see the full dimensions of her experience reflected. She decided to plant her flag as a kind of age-activist. It became her mission to be that which she wanted to see. She is grateful for the privilege of growing older and rejects the narrative that women should stop wearing red lipstick or long hair or mini-skirts or—gasp!—crop tops after some arbitrary birthday determined by a bunch of dudes in a boardroom way back in 1950. Goodbye Crop Top is a place where women of any age——but particularly those with a few crow's feet—can go for camaraderie, validation, information and style. Of course, style is about so much more than the clothes you put on your back: It's about who you are underneath—about what you say, what you do, the company you keep and how you move in the world. Style is a feeling...a feeling of being comfortable in your own skin, of living in alignment with your inner and outer worlds. In this episode, you will learn: How to approach fashion in midlife Why you shouldn't give up on looking good at any age What goes into picking your fashion
