Rachel Lankester is the author of Magnificent Midlife: Transform Your Middle Years, Menopause and Beyond, and host of the Magnificent Midlife podcast. After a shocking early menopause diagnosis at 41, she scratched her own itch and created what she wasn’t able to find to help herself. This includes 1-1 and group midlife mentoring, courses and educational resources to help women vibrantly transition through the sometimes messy middle of life. She’s also a founder of MenoClarity, the information hub about menopause. In her spare time, she’s doing a Masters in Gerontology!

In this episode, we discuss why Rachel wrote a book called Magnificent Midlife. The podcast is in two parts – our discussion of the menopause and then a discussion of positive aging. We start with big questions, such as why Rachel does not think menopause is a hormone deficiency disorder and why she does not think everyone should take hormone therapy. Rachel is often misquoted about her views of hormone therapy – she took it for 7 years and feels it has a place for some women. But will it prevent dementia and other disorders? Rachel and I both feel that for us, the fog lifted when we hit post menopause and there are many advantages of being post menopause. It is not a mid-life crisis – it is the upward part of the U curve of happiness. Now is our time.
