The smart guide that every midlife woman needs to read …

Forget everything you’ve been told about the midlife. For millennia, women have been led to believe that it is a time of decline. On the contrary, it is a time of transformation and re-formation; it’s a turning point at which we can move towards a bigger, better and more magnificent future. And who better to help you navigate this complex and wildly exciting time than women’s health campaigner and documentary maker Kate Muir.

In this essential and empowering guide, Kate draws upon scientific research, personal experience and the stories of women from all walks of life to arm you with the knowledge you need to approach your second half with confidence, purpose and energy. She reveals how to:

• have better sex (after decades of trying)

• take advantage of brain rewiring in menopause

• upgrade your relationships and friendships

• change your job and find a creative renaissance

• avoid the midlife muffin top and love your microbiome

This is your time to reset, renew and refresh – so step into the next stage of your life with passion, poise and promise.

 ‘What we need to do is gird our girdles for the midlife crisis and reclaim it as our own, not just the territory of men. I want you to navigate this time of change and rebellion with joy. I want you to be glorious rather than notorious, magnificent rather than insignificant. I want you to throw crockery with purpose, and to be armed withpractical knowledge, philosophical resilience and hormonalsuperpowers. Let’s go.’
