The People We Have Become: Stacy London

Start an entirely new venture way out of one's career experience
at age 52? How audacious, but why not.  Stacy shows us how
to be an absolute beginner, to believe you can do it, and to
thrive. Fashion editor, stylist, author, star of “What Not to
Wear”, and now founder of State Of Menopause, Stacy continues to
evolve and show that the only things that can hold you back are
self-limiting beliefs and expectations. After going through
menopause, Stacy realized how under-prepared women are for this
time in their lives. She felt isolated, overwhelmed, and stuck.
Now, she is determined to create a language and community for all
women to feel confident and educated going into an inevitable
phase in their life. She wants to talk about menopause and aging
in a way that is productive and meaningful.


How are women unprepared for menopause? Why must we stop pining
over who we used to be and stay present in who we are now? Why is
it beneficial to have a variety of friends younger, older, and
the same ages us? What do I do if I’m scared to pivot careers or
try something new? How has technology changed how we live and our
ability to be present? How do we let go of expectations? 


 “People don’t realize how much power they possess over the
way they’re perceived.” 


“Create a life that you don’t want to run away from.” 


“As I’ve aged, my interest in style has kind of grown into an
interest in wellness.” 


“Why not change or pivot and do something at 52? What else should
I be doing? Should I be sitting around, mourning that I don’t
have the career that I had at 32? What would be the point of
that? Where does the purpose lie in that?”
