Midlife is often seen as a time of reflection, transition, and reinvention. For women aged 50 to 90, this period can be especially transformative, filled with both challenges and opportunities. In our new episode, hosted by Wendy Battles, we dive deep into the world of midlife reinvention with an inspiring guest, Monique Cupid. Monique is a beacon of empowerment, passionately redefining midlife as a time for new beginnings and personal growth, particularly through the support of a nurturing community.

Monique Cupid: Championing Midlife Transformation

Monique Cupid’s journey is a testament to the power of embracing change. Her story is not just about navigating the complexities of menopause but also about finding strength in community support. Monique has taken her experiences and turned them into a movement, organizing a unique menopause festival that brings women together to share, connect, and support one another. This festival isn’t just an event; it’s a celebration of womanhood, resilience, and the endless possibilities that come with midlife.

I want to be able to show up as myself and not be apologetic about how I’m showing up. Yes, we’ve changed. Bodies changed. You know, everything’s just changed at this time. I don’t want to shrink because of the change. I want to embrace it and just enjoy my life regardless. You know, there are days where I’m like, eh, I’m really not happy with that, but  I’m just not gonna let that stop me.

From Pandemic Blues to Dancing Shoes

One of the most compelling stories we’ll explore involves a woman who felt stuck and unfulfilled during the pandemic. She reignited her passion for performance by taking a bold step and auditioning for a senior dance team. This courageous move not only brought joy back into her life but also opened doors to further creative pursuits, including background acting. Her story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to chase your dreams and explore new passions.

Life in the Pause Festival: A Celebration of Midlife and Menopause

Mark your calendars for October 5, when Monique Cupid and her co-creator Dixie will host the “Life in the Pause” festival. This event is designed to celebrate midlife and menopause with a variety of educational panels, discussions on menopause symptoms and solutions, and a strong emphasis on community support. It’s a day dedicated to empowering women to advocate for themselves in medical and workplace settings, to connect and network, and to overcome limiting beliefs about aging.

What gets me so excited and giddy about midlife is that there’s no one way of doing something. There’s no wall, there’s no ceiling. You just go for it, and what’s meant for you will happen. Just don’t limit yourself.

Redefining Achievements and Embracing Playfulness

The narrative often undervalues women’s achievements, especially during midlife transitions. However, this stage of life is ripe with opportunities for growth and reinvention. The “Life in the Pause” festival encourages women to view setbacks as growth opportunities and to approach reinvention with a sense of playfulness. It’s about being open to change, trying new things, and celebrating the unique journey of each woman.
