For Tamsen, turning 50 sparked new experiences, insights, and questions about midlife.
Donning her journalist hat, she began gathering information, talking to experts, listening to other women’s stories, and learning more about navigating my next “now what” in new, bold ways. Out of these exploration and experiences, she realized how many other women face similar questions, challenges and opportunities to move forward with confidence, courage and curiosity.
This life transition launched her into her role as a midlife
enthusiast. Nicknamed the “TikTok Fairy Godmother”, she shares tips
and advice with over 200k+ followers so that women do not feel
alone during this stage in their lives. Tamsen also hosts the
podcast Coming Up Next with Tamsen Fadal which guides women moving
through midlife changes, menopause, new career directions and all
the other choices and possibilities that they may face at this time
in their life. On the podcast, she curates experts, thought leaders
and everyday stories about women doing extraordinary things to
provide inspiration and tips for her listeners so that they too can
approach their own “now what” with confidence.
Tamsen has a long history of uncovering the stories that inspire
others throughout her career.
While reporting is her profession (earning her 13 Emmy Awards for
reporting on Hurricane Sandy, the Columbia Shuttle crash and the
Afghanistan war), Tamsen’s passion is telling women’s stories that
often happen behind the headlines. She travels around the globe
with UNICEF to document its work, particularly focusing on the
struggles faced by women and families in areas of the world most of
us will never see for ourselves. Tamsen brings their stories into
homes and hearts, and reveals how these women transform their lives
in the midst of significant life changes.
Tamsen is the author of multiple books, in which she empowers women
to navigate change and create new beginnings. Her third book, The
New Single: Finding, Fixing and Falling Back in Love with Yourself,
delivers tools, insights and hope to other women in the midst of
their own divorce experience. Her much anticipated fourth book
focused on empowerment at midlife is underway.
