Change is happening to our bodies and our minds and our careers and our relationships. And sometimes, the changes we decide to make can alter a life we thought we had mapped out for us. 

Today, we're talking about what happens when midlife women stop performing and start becoming. When we shed the things we don't need, including the opinions of people who don't matter. When we realise we've got choices here, even if some of them will be hard. 

And yes, we talk about how, as a woman in the public eye, that's never truer than if you dare to change your body. 

It's an exceptionally honest conversation about identity, courage, and growth with Julie Goodwin, the person with whom this podcast all began. 

THE END BITS:
