***AS HEARD ON DAVINA MCCALL’S BEGIN AGAIN PODCAST***

The smart guide that every midlife woman needs to read … Forget everything you’ve been told about midlife. For millennia, women have been led to believe that it’s a time of decline. On the contrary, it is a time of transformation and re-formation; a turning point when we can move towards as 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 courageous and humorous stories of women 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!
