Today I'm sitting down with renowned Hollywood makeup artist and skincare expert Helen Marray-Finlay. 

Makeup artist to the stars, Helen has spent her career creating the unforgettable faces of our favourite characters, working on movies including Pirates of the Caribbean and hit TV shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine. But after undergoing a hysterectomy and experiencing menopause, Helen's journey took a detour, and driven by her knowledge and passion for skincare, she founded Finlay+Green, a simplified skincare for menopause.

Today, Helen shares her insights on Hollywood, the glamour or otherwise, life as a midlife woman in LA and California, as well as some - certainly for me - much-needed makeup tips.

Meet the incredible Kate Beavis, who's rocking TikTok with 75,000 followers and a staggering 1 million monthly views. Now there's a phrase I don't say about many midlife women.

On top of all this, Kate still finds time to be the driving force behind a number of businesses empowering midlife women, whether it's helping women in the workplace or even their relationships. As a staunch menopause advocate, Kate also became a certified menopause wellness practitioner to support women during this transformative phase of life. 

Today, Kate brings her unique perspective on women in midlife. While she shares her own menopause journey, she's nine years sober, and proves that embracing the change is the ultimate game changer. Get ready to be inspired by Kate and her uplifting approach to life, which I think can be quite neatly summed up in her catchphrase, wear what you want at any age.
