With significant female figures breaking down taboos around menopause and opening up the discussion, women are in a stronger position than ever before to insist on a better midlife experience – a real cause for celebration. But while these discussions around menopause are brilliant and empowering, it’s vital that we don't let the conversation stop there. Because midlife for women is a multifaceted experience, one in which our changing bodies play an enormous part, but that’s far from the only thing going on.

MIDLIFE MATTERS promises to be an all-encompassing guide and manual for midlife women, exploring the five key areas of HEALTH, WELLBEING, RELATIONSHIPS, WORK LIFE, CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES with humour and honesty. Guiding us through, author Katie’s Taylor’s friendly narrative is supported by expert contributions in each chapter, including advice and resources from a world-renowned medical advisory team – and of course the testimonies of real women from the midlife community.

Katie Taylor is a leading voice in the nationwide conversation around midlife and menopause. Motivated by her own debilitating experience of perimenopause and years of misdiagnosis, Katie founded her multi-award-winning platform The Latte Lounge, to provide support for all women's perimenopause, menopause, health and wellbeing needs. As well as appearing regularly on national media, Katie also runs workshops to help increase awareness of menopause in the workplace and to ensure midlife women get the support they so desperately need.
