Stacy London: Why It’s Not Too Early To Talk About Menopause + Other Life Lessons Like Going Broke, Getting Fired, and Finding Your Self Worth

Mar 17, 2022

Stacy London is one of America’s foremost style experts known for the TLC Show ‘What Not To Wear.’ She’s also a 2x best selling author. She spent the last five years creating and pitching TV shows about women in their 40s - only to be told that her ideas weren’t sexy. She was told nobody would watch them. Her lightbulb moment came as she started feeling the impact of perimenopause. She realized she wasn’t prepared for it… because NOBODY talks about it. Now - Stacy is a CEO of a company called State of Menopause and is ready to talk aging, transitions, menopause and more. 

She shares:

• She’s “not here to normalize the conversation” around aging and menopause - she’s here to “optimize it.”
  
• Getting fired at 30 and why she thinks everyone should get fired at one point in their career. 
  
• Why What Not To Wear resonated with people and how it became so much more than the physical makeover.
  
• How she healed her own insecurities by helping others work through theirs + why she never dyed her signature gray streak.
  
• Why it’s so important to see people be transparent with their struggles.
  
• Why women age 40-65 are invisible in the media and why that needs to change. 
  
• Why she chose to stop dating men.
  
• The shame and stigma surrounding menopause.
  
• Why it’s so important for her to change that stigma for the next generation.
