    Do Pause for Menopause: Busting Midlife Myths with Rachel Lankester

    In this episode of Sound of Breaking Glass, host Hristina Vaceva speaks with Rachel Lankester, founder of Magnificent Midlife, about redefining midlife for women and embracing aging with empowerment. Diagnosed with early menopause at 41, Rachel set out to change how society views midlife and menopause, advocating for women to embrace this stage with self-acceptance and resilience. She dives into the cultural narratives around aging, the impact of the anti-aging industry, and how societal pressures affect women’s self-worth. Key Takeaways: Redefining Midlife: Midlife is a dynamic stage, not a decline, and can span from around 40 to 60 years, offering opportunities for growth and fulfillment.Cultural Influence on Aging Perceptions: Societies with less ageism tend to value older women more, while Western marketing drives fear and insecurities around aging.Menopause as a Gateway: Menopause can be a time for self-reflection and reassessment, encouraging women to focus on mental, emotional, and physical health.Challenging Anti-Aging Narratives: Embracing the natural aging process allows for authenticity and self-acceptance, counteracting the pressures to ‘reverse’ aging.Flexibility and Self-Care at Work: Workplaces and personal lives should adapt to support cyclical and evolving needs as women age. Tune in to this episode to hear Rachel’s refreshing take on how women can reclaim their narratives, embrace midlife, and redefine what aging means in modern society.

    Lisa Redman on what it takes to build a sustainable fashion brand

    Designer Lisa Redman has always been driven by a simple motto – create beautiful, well-crafted, high quality clothes that women can wear over and over again. She describes herself as a “soft power dresser” – a theme that describes her life philosophy very well. She started her career in textiles design and worked with Betty Jackson, Calvin Klein and Elspeth Gibson, before establishing her own brand.   Raised by an ecologist father, Lisa is a firm believer in the need to go back to basics when it comes to fashion and create collections that outlive trends. She is currently expanding her business by re-inventing her clients’ beloved old pieces, dressing entire generations and focusing on sustainable, natural materials. In this interview we talk about the highs and lows of glamorous fashion shows, how she built her business bit by bit and why investing in fewer, high quality pieces is the best way to build a wardrobe that will stand the test of time.  Find out more about Lisa's brand on https://www.lisaredman.com/ Do get in touch with any suggestions or feedback on https://www.linkedin.com/company/sound-of-breaking-glass/ - it helps me find out what you enjoy the most about the show so I can create even better episodes for you!
