What Happens When We Reach the Mid Life Clusterf*ck? Uncut with Eleanor Mills

Eleanor Mills is an award winning journalist, editor and broadcaster who has taken a bit of a pivot in her mid life by creating a community called ‘noon’. At 49, Eleanor was abruptly made redundant from her role as the editor of the Sunday Times Magazine and chair of women in journalism.

She lost her sense of purpose, and her identity - and her family lost its main source of income. She felt washed up and burnt out; like everything which had defined her life for the last 25 years was gone. But then she noticed something: she wasn’t alone.

Today we are going to unpack what Eleanor calls the midlife cluster fuck, our perceived value as we age and a lot of the motivators and values that we hold as career driven women.

We spoke about:

  • Identity in ‘success’ and our jobs
  • What happens when that identity is shattered
  • Real life ‘Succession’ after working for Rupert Murdoch for 23 years
  • Gendered ageism in our culture vs what we truly have to look forward to
  • ‘Queenagers’ - the freedom of becoming the woman you always wanted to be
  • Power is fleeting when it’s based off of fecundity and fuckability
  • The double edged sword of speaking about menopause; exposure vs it being weaponised against up
  • How Eleanor has helped so many women realise that there’s much more to come past 50
