In this companion episode to The Queenager Podcast episode with Dr Lucy Ryan (S1 E4), Eleanor Mills and Wendy Lloyd discuss the biggest takeaways from Lucy, coach, psychologist and author of Revolting Women: Why Midlife Women are Walking Out and What to Do About It.

"No one wants to read about old women," an advisor told Dr. Lucy Ryan, which spurred her to write her book Revolting Women: Why Midlife Women are Walking Out and What to Do About It. It proved him wrong.

The Sunday Times praised the coach and positive psychologist's searing analysis of the Queenager Braindrain.

Why it is that 30 years after men and women entered the workforce in equal numbers, women still make up less than 20 percent of managers? Lucy's 3-part diagnosis:

1. Midlife Collision (backed up by Eleanor Mills's research at noon.org.uk, which found that over half of women have been through at least five massive life events – divorce, bereavement, redundancy, caring for elderly parents, abuse, empty nest, or young offspring with mental health difficulties, their own health challenges, menopause... which often hit altogether).
2. This causes women to leave, and then ...
3. ... Gendered ageism in employers makes it hard for women to get another job.

And that's before we start talking about 'the revolt' – that sense of 'I just can't be fxxxxed to be pleasing anymore'. The Revolt is about redefining career success in new ways — ways that nourish every aspect of life.

Join Lucy and Eleanor for a masterclass in midlife women and work – and how to kick-start your career again.

Dr Nighat Arif is an amazing women's health specialist who has revolutionised women's medical coverage in the UK. She regularly on This Morning and BBC Breakfast as their expert doctor and is the author of The Knowledge, an essential guide to everything women might be too embarrassed to ask their GP.

Dr Nighat came to the UK from Pakistan aged 9 speaking no English, failed her eleven plus but still made it to medical school. Her Tiktoks and Instagram reels in her native languages became an online sensation – she brings practical advice on intimate matters to women who would never otherwise get it. Now her English-language audience has mushroomed as well, on Instagram (@drnighatarif) and TikTok (@drnighatarif).

Dr Nighat was one of Eleanor's first recruits to the board of NOON.org.uk and together they have campaigned for the recognition of menopause and the intersectionality of women's treatment: BAME women and women in the poorest parts of the UK are only HALF as likely to receive HRT as women in the richest areas.

Tune in to a fascinating conversation about busting midlife taboos, menopause in Asian communities, medical insights you never realised you needed and the real reason we gain weight in midlife.
