A proposito di questo titolo

The Stage is a podcast for curious humans who refuse to sleepwalk through midlife.

Hosted by Rita Hausken and Torild Boe – two global thinkers shaped by real-life upheaval and reinvention – these conversations span the whole spectrum of being human: health, relationships, loss, leadership, purpose, ageing, identity, travel, reinvention, and the stories we rarely say out loud.

Rita lived through the unimaginable as she walked alongside her son Benjamin through a life doctors said would be short and later through the heartbreak of losing him, finding her way into a new reality.

Torild redefined herself through perimenopause whilst navigating divorce with young children.

Together, we bring honesty, depth, humour, and a refusal to accept outdated rulebooks about how life “should” look after 40.

Some episodes will make you think. Some will make you laugh. Some might hit a nerve. All of them offer real, unfiltered conversations for people who want more clarity, courage, and meaning in the second half of life.

This isn’t just talk. It’s insight, lived experience, global perspective and the kind of dialogue most people wish they had in their everyday world.

Welcome to The Stage. It’s your time.

  • Isn’t menopause a private thing?

    Isn’t menopause a private thing?

    Why is the conversation happening now? “It was never an issue before”!? Menopausal women are the fastest growing workforce demographic and working longer too. Menopause is a natural transition of life, but if one in ten women leave work in the UK due to troublesome symptoms, and one in 4 consider doing so, this is a workplace issue as part of the S in ESG, and I in DEI. Hormone fluctuations are not left behind as you enter the workplace, and there are ways of supporting those impacted, so that the working day can be made more manageable during this transition - and we have a greater chance of retaining and attracting talent across all age groups. Menopause friendly organisations are going to surprise and attract women.
