The Second Chapter

Let the episode be gin!This week, I'm speaking with Ellen Wakelam. Ellen was a teacher, but after becoming disillusioned with the role -- and reeeeeally long walk -- she and her partner started In the Welsh Wind, a distillery firmly based in her native Wales.

When's the last time you learned a new sport? Moved to a new country? Wrote your own solo show? This week, I'm speaking with Erin Hunter. Although Erin has acted her entire life, she wrote her first solo show after 35 (in a new country, while learning to surf). And I'm so excited to announce that I'll be producing her show for the Edinburgh Fringe in August. In this episode, Erin and I talk about ageing as a female actor, her brilliantly funny show, which she wrote and performs in, Surfing the Holyland, and she even puts me in the hot seat to talk about my work producing female-led shows for Slackline Productions.

Kyra Coates was born with a creative force inside of her. CW: Before we get started, I’d like to mention that this episode carries a content warning for trauma and sexual assault. Don’t worry, we don’t go into too much detail, but I wanted to give you a heads up. Kyra’s early story led to an early adulthood filled with shame and denial. Realization, empowerment, and freedom led Kyra to realise that she is more than her trauma and to embrace her feminine power and sexuality. After a profound spiritual awakening in her early twenties, Kyra became a Hindu nun and lived a disciplined monastic life for three years. When she left her robes behind, she dove into sexual awakening, motherhood, and embracing her feminine strength. Finding her true calling at 35, Kyra returned to the art world professionally in 2014 and expresses her years of spiritual and psychological study through her art and now, her writing.You can find more on Kyra and her work at:https://www.kyracoatesart.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/kyra_coates_art_infusegallery~~~Subscribe, review and share The Second Chapter- wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or on podchaser.com- For more, go to thesecondchapterpodcast.com- If you like what we do, buy us a virtual coffee! https://ko-fi.com/thesecondchapterTwitter: @slacklineprodu2, Instagram: @the_second_chapter_podcast,On Facebook and YouTube as Slackline Productions #womenover35 #wearebadassOn The Second Chapter, serial careerist and founder of Slackline Productions, Kristin Duffy, chats with women who started the second (or third… or fifth!) chapter in their careers and lives, after 35.

This week, Kristin is in conversation with Rebecca Megson-Smith. While she doesn't usually think of herself as a romantic (she's been told otherwise on the podcast!) Kristin loved Rebecca’s story of not just finding a career path, but also her real first love, after 35. So, old softie that she is, Kristin thought Rebecca's story was perfect for a Valentine's Day release.Rebecca let fate dictate her life and found herself in a "greasy pole" corporate job and a misguided marriage, never quite knowing how to make the changes that she wasn't even sure she wanted. Now, Rebecca finds herself in a very different situation- fate or not- as a writer, a wife in an unexpected second marriage, a mother and a business owner (amongst other things!) She's also helping other writers find their own writing voice through her fabulous company, Ridley Writes.For more about Rebecca or for writing mentoring and coaching (if you think about whether or not you're a writer, you are!)Twitter: @RidleywritesInstagram: @RidleywritesWebsite:&nbsp;www.ridleywrites.co.uk~~~Subscribe, review and share The Second Chapter- wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or on podchaser.com- For more, go to thesecondchapterpodcast.com- If you like what we do, buy us a virtual coffee! https://ko-fi.com/thesecondchapterTwitter: @slacklineprodu2, Instagram: @the_second_chapter_podcast,On Facebook and YouTube as Slackline Productions #womenover35 #wearebadassOn The Second Chapter, serial careerist and founder of&nbsp;Slackline Productions, Kristin Duffy, chats with women who started the second (or third… or fifth!) chapter in their careers and lives, after 35.

This week Kristin is joined by the fascinating Dr. Naeema Olatunji.

This week Kristin speaks with Debbie Page. To say Debbie is a potter or a ceramist is an understatement. Despite finding a feel for clay in her early teens, it took her decades to make it her career. Now pots are Debbie’s life! Don’t know what a moon jar is? Just love hearing some really uplifting chat from someone who has found their thing? Either way, you’re in the right place… this is Debbie Page!Debbie Page is a studio potter, based in South Oxfordshire.&nbsp;She was introduced to the joy of working with clay at school but it took another 20 years before she had the opportunity to really get to grips with the whole world of pottery. She developed an obsession with making teapots, fell in love with Jomon pottery, and spent a lot of time and effort learning to throw on the wheel only to discover, once she’d cracked it, that she prefers hand-building. Completely by chance, she found the pottery love of her life – the Korean Moon Jar, from someone who never made one.More from Debbie:website -&nbsp;https://www.debbiepage.co.ukFacebook -&nbsp;@debbiepageceramicsyellowshedpotteryInstagram&nbsp;&nbsp;@debbiepageceramics&nbsp;&nbsp;---Subscribe, review and share The Second Chapter- wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or on podchaser.com- For more, go to thesecondchapterpodcast.com- If you like what we do, buy us a virtual coffee! https://ko-fi.com/thesecondchapterTwitter: @slacklineprodu2, Instagram: @the_second_chapter_podcast,On Facebook and YouTube as Slackline Productions #womenover35 #wearebadassOn The Second Chapter, serial careerist and founder of&nbsp;Slackline Productions, Kristin Duffy, chats with women who started the second (or third… or fifth!) chapter in their careers and lives, after 35.

This week Kristin chats with Jennifer Baker, who studied as an artist but found herself on a mountaintop in Italy, raising a family and living without her art. A successful translation business took her even further away from her original passion until Covid forced her to ask herself some tough questions. Once she stopped hiding and started saying yes, the magic started happening...My paintings are an ode to life, to becoming, and to majesty. They are a reminder to take a moment to release the trappings of the mundane, to look up, down, far, and close.

This week, Kristin is speaking with Pam Munter who proudly calls herself ‘an outspoken advocate of living an unconventional life’.

She has spent her life exploring a wide array of different careers, including clinical psychologist, a singer/recording artist and author and an award-winning playwright. Currently she's focusing on writing; her recent book Fading Fame: Women of a Certain Age in Hollywood talks about a time when Hollywood studio moguls tried to end the careers of actresses like Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis, who aged out of the profession they loved.Pam is certainly fascinating- and she may just inspire you to pursue the next stage in your life!

Her first book, The Brink of Being, encourages people to reflect upon this often misunderstood and little discussed event. She’s working on her next book, currently titled Everyone’s a Critic exploring the universal habit of self-criticism.For more about Julia and info about the books and her practice, you can find her here: juliabueno.co.ukInsta: @julia_bueno_therapistTwitter: @JBueno_UKCPJulia and The Brink of Being in The GuardianRecommended miscarriage information and support can be found at:Miscarriage AssociationTommy'sARC---Subscribe, review and share The Second Chapter- wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or on podchaser.com- For transcript, go to thesecondchapterpodcast.com- If you like what we do, buy us a virtual coffee! https://ko-fi.com/thesecondchapterTwitter: @slacklineprodu2, Instagram: @the_second_chapter_podcast,On Facebook and YouTube as Slackline Productions #womenover35 #wearebadassOn The Second Chapter, serial careerist and founder of&nbsp;Slackline Productions, Kristin Duffy, chats with women who started the second (or third… or fifth!) chapter in their careers and lives, after 35.
