ABOUT AMANDA
Life after menopause can be your best chapter yet.
Do you wake up stiff, find stairs harder, or feel you have to negotiate with your body? You’re not alone. Whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause or beyond, this isn’t the end of your story. There can be more confidence, purpose and possibility.
I’m Amanda Holland,
founder of Reinvent After 50. At 61, I’m still working, learning and building a life I’m excited to wake up to.
About this space
Why I wanted more
After coming through my own personal war, my focus changed. I wanted to live younger, longer—not just avoid being unwell. I want to get out of bed without creaking, walk stairs confidently, get down on the floor and back up, and play with grandchildren if I’m ever blessed with them. In my 80s, I hope to keep the mobility and independence I value in my 60s. No one can promise how we’ll age, but that hope shapes my choices now.
I feel stronger and more in control of my wellbeing than ever, not because of a magic fix but because I’m more intentional about practical choices.
Here through perimenopause, menopause and beyond
After more than 18 years in workplace health and safety, I value clear information and practical steps. Reinvent After 50 explores the questions and changes women face through perimenopause, menopause and beyond. In The Midlife Edit and our other content, we talk movement, strength, food, sleep, gut and skin health, and confidence.
Not every ache is “just hormones,” and there’s no one perfect routine. I share what I learn and encourage you to speak with your GP about personal health concerns.
Let’s talk
Our Facebook community, Reinvent After 50, is a place to connect with other women navigating perimenopause, menopause and life beyond. Share your experience, ask a question or start a conversation of your own. You don’t need to have it all figured out.
A note about recommendations
I may share products and services from different brands. Some recommendations may be paid partnerships, gifted products or affiliate links that earn me a commission. I’ll disclose those relationships alongside the recommendation and say when I’m sharing personal experience. What works for me may not suit everyone.
Your healthiest chapter starts here.
Warm regards,
Amanda
