  • We're back, BABY!

    In this episode, Kristin speaks with Christina Braver.

    Christina studied and worked in psychology, then spent many years working in healthcare technology. 

    Now, she’s writing sex-positive, (very) steamy books that might challenge your idea of a romance novel… especially when you take into account that she’s a practicing, lifelong Christian.

  • The Five Theatre Girls: five women from Doncaster, who were never professional actors but just performed on one of Great Britain's most revered stages.

    Sandra, Christine, Ruth, Sharon and Sally were part of The Odyssey: The Underworld at the National Theatre of Great Britain, the culmination of a project that has brought amazing change to all of their lives after 35.

    The Odyssey was the National Theatre's nationwide multi-venue production to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Public Acts, a national program to create extraordinary acts of theatre and community. I read about this project and saw that some second chapter women's stories that were emerging out of the project. I needed to hear more about their stories and I'd love to share them with you!

  • For Alison Wearing, experiencing a big change at age 12, her father coming out as gay in the 1970s, led to big changes in her adult life as well.

    Alison and Kristin talk about how Alison became a writer after failing English in school, how the dismissal of her second manuscript led to her taking the stage, and how letting go of the labels that define us can sometimes show us who we really are.

    From Kristin:

    it is so lovely to be back with you this week. I've been feeling really sad about the irregularity of my episode releases, but I've been completely snowed under with my master's degree work. I definitely need to have my own episode soon.

    There've been so many changes and I'm really proud to be doing a little bit of what I talk to my guests about every week, living my mantra of always learning. This past week, I had my first experiences as both a script supervisor, and a producer on a film set, so times have been exciting.

    Today, student films. Tomorrow, Netflix. Enjoy the episode :)

  • Amanda Rudd, aka Amanda Cupcake, started out in fashion but the fast pace and stress led to anxiety and health problems. She did something she thought she'd never do (listen to the podcast to find out what!), which has allowed her to discover that sometimes the best fashion model is a cupcake and success isn't always what we think.

  • Joanne Hardcastle's unexpected midlife success as an interiors guru and content creator led to, amongst other things, her appearance on Interior Design Masters, interior design's answer to the Great British Bake-Off.

    Joanne's current chapter, which she's calling "the fun chapter" of her life, only happened after the ups and downs of life, love, and loss.

    CW: To let you know, Joanne and Kristin speak about her experience with miscarriage, which is an important part of her story and that of her family. But she also has so much joy and life wisdom to share.

    You can find more about Joanne on Instagram @hardcastletowers and on her blog at hardcastletowers.com

  • Despite a "having it all" life in New York City, under the surface, Amber James was anything but happy. A pandemic, two health crises, and a family death led Amber to take a risk, blow up her life, and start all over again.

    "I think that's why I'm sharing my story now is I want other women to be able to tell their stories, to find their voice, take that chance on themselves and find their happy because everybody's different.

    And what society tells us isn't necessarily going to make us happy."

  • Christie Hayward is living in two worlds- the one that she loves to reminisce about and share with audiences in her show, Memories of the Early 1950s, and the one where she’s checking things off her bucket list, including presenting the show at her first Edinburgh Fringe at age 77. 

    And it’s not just performing- Christine is busy running a plant business alongside her husband, Keith, and as one of the reviews for her show said, she “stands as a testament to late-life aspirations”.

  • A limb difference at birth meant Kim Hughes' confidence was shaken at an early age. Years in a career that just wasn't right for her and a lifetime struggling to settle, finally changed after a relationship catastrophe in her forties.

    Now 51, Kim has gone to the front of the class literally (she's a yoga teacher!) and is letting go of judgment, mainly her own.

  • For The Second Chapter's 100th episode, Kristin is joined by not one, not two, but seven of her former guests. These seven women are some of the podcast listener's favourites - an array of exciting and insightful women who have changed their careers and/or lives after 35.

    In the first half of this catch-up, Kristin finds out what her guests have been doing since they were on the podcast, asks how much is too much when it comes to career changes and multi-hyphenate careers, and discusses whether we've reached peak feminism or have a long way to go.

  • Judy Foreman's life changes have happened through her journey from childhood abuse to empowerment. After an abusive childhood, Judy discovered the unyielding spirit that led her to peace.

    In Judy's latest book, Let The More Loving One Be Me, she takes us through a journey over 70 years covering her growth, deep fulfilment, rewarding work, and most wonderfully love. Through the power of emotional courage and therapy, she changed her inner and outer experience of the world and discovered what matters most, cultivating healthy connections with other people.

    *A quick content advisory: Judy and Kristin do speak of the emotional and sexual abuse Judy suffered towards the beginning of the episode. If you feel you may find that difficult, forwarding to about 11 minutes in will allow you to more comfortably listen to our conversation.

  • Matilda Leyser is the author of No Season but the Summer, a novel that combines the Greek Persephone myth with modern day England, climate change, and, ultimately, a story about mother-daughter relationships.

    But being a novelist is just one of her second chapter stories, after running away from words to join the circus (amongst other things!)

    Matilda is a theatre-maker, writer and artistic director of Mothers Who Make. Prior to becoming a mother she worked for 10 years as a circus aerialist, collaborating with diverse theatre and dance companies and making her own work. She came down to earth in 2008 and became an Associate Director with Improbable. She became a mother in 2012 and considers motherhood, and her writing, to be far more dangerous endeavours than being a circus aerialist.

  • In this, my last episode of season nine, I'm speaking with Patricia Stallworth. The subject of money is one that many of us are uncomfortable discussing, which is why I loved having Patricia as a guest!

    After her own divorce, which led to some painful money realisations, Patricia now helps others, especially women, plan for their financial futures. Patricia made talking about financial planning fun, even for me, and lemme tell you, that is really saying something!

    Patricia's book, Become a Money Wise Woman in Six Simple Steps- Even If You're Not Good at Math is free to download 2-4 June by clicking here: https://amzn.to/3Kr3I3h

    If you've missed it, subscribe to her newsletter at www.psworth.com for tips & strategies sent to your inbox.

    Season 10 starts 28th June - It's also nearly time for my 100th episode, so stay tuned. I plan to celebrate!

  • 'Traumatic overload' destroyed Marci Warhaft’s self-esteem and left her grasping for control - leading to years of eating disorders, promiscuity and doing things that she wasn’t proud of to survive.

    In her book, The Good Stripper, Marci chronicles a double- or even triple- life: mother of two by day, stripper by night, and obsessed fitness fanatic in between. By taking back and owning her own story, Marci has found, after 50, a way back to the self she lost at 17.

  • Absinthia Vermut's love for art history and unusual parties led her to an event in 1996, where she tried absinthe (illegally) for the first time.

    Fast-forward to the legalisation of absinthe in the US and Absinthia is channeling her passion for the notorious "Green Fairy" into making award-winning small batch absinthe.

    But she's also doing things her own way, proudly striving for kindness and empathy, while leading the charge among women in the alcohol business.

  • Kelli Dunham is a standup comic, a registered nurse, an author, a storyteller, and... wait for it... an ex nun. Kelli's website says, "I don't know how all of this came together on a resume", but I've done my best to find out, though there is so much beyond what we got to speak about*!

    Having lost two partners between the ages of 38 and 43, Kelli is an expert on the intersections of art, grief and community- based caregiving, and presents across the US to healthcare providers about LGBT issues, LGBT health, and gender and health, using humour and the transformative power of first- person storytelling.

    *Kelli's website is a treasure trove- I'm annoyed at myself for not asking about their 2015 White House Champions of Change nominee (under the Obama administration)! You can find the site at: kellidunham.com

  • This week I’m speaking with pizza artist, Miriam Weiskind. Formerly a graphic designer... ahem, brand strategist... Miriam found a way to combine two of her greatest loves, running and pizza, in a way she never expected. It led to a totally new life of pizza tours, pizza paying it forward and pizza making, getting her through a bad break-up and the pandemic and leading to articles in the New York Times and appearances on Kelly Clarkson and Chopped (to name a few).

    Miriam is an old friend whose story I’ve followed since my Brooklyn days, having known her through our triathlon club. Her change after 35 involves love, loss, giving back and a LOT of pizza.
