Themes: Midlife, menopause, second acts, emotions, courage Summary: The very first guest of the very episode of Season 1 of the Hotflash Inc podcast is Stacy London, “your favourite CEO” of State of Menopause, a company that sells skin care and supplements, provides some really great content and has a really hopeful tone. Stacy is now becoming as well-known in the menopause space as she was for her work as a stylist, including the TLC show she co-hosted with the equally delightful Clinton Kelly, What Not to Wear. We talked about: • navigating this challenging transition • pivoting in your career • how hard it is to do new things • hot flashes and other menopause symptoms • why second acts are important • losing agency and finding it again • teaching old dogs new tricks • why it's okay to cry every day • acknowledging there are no somedays anymore Links: Instagram @stateofmenopause Instagram @stacylondonreal Website: State of Menopause A big thank you to my sponsors: • Become | Visit become.com to receive 20% off all products with the code HOTFLASHINC • Ritual | Visit JointheRitual.co and use code HOTFLASH to get your first month free.
