Midlife Messy & Marvellous is where I (award-winning broadcaster, Marverine Cole) bring you inspiring chats with remarkable women who - just like us - are trying to stop midlife and menopause derail them. I hope the convos will inspire you when you most need it. Ranging from well-known women to quiet revolutionaries - we've not heard these ladies having these conversations anywhere else! And I've persuaded them to reveal how they're thriving through the transition - showing us that life for women over 40 is about honouring the struggle, but never losing sight of our inner marvellous.
