Queenager | kween·ay·jer | noun 1. whatever you want it to be.
Hello and welcome to the club. I’m Eleanor Mills, Times Bestselling author of Much More to Come - Lessons on the mayhem and magnificence of midlife published by HarperCollins. I’ve also been an editor in mainstream media for 25 years but I walked away because I got so sick of how they portrayed midlife women and then I set up my own platform called Noon.org.uk (if you don’t know it come on over some time). This newsletter is my weekly missive to my community of incredible women. We run events, retreats, courses to help you through the pinchpoints of midlife and our famous NOON Circles in person and online, where we all get together.
At Noon, we call ourselves Queenagers. We’re pioneering midlife women who are in our prime, starting new chapters, a bit hormonal but most importantly becoming the women we are supposed to be. More than ever, our lives are in our own hands and we want to make sure you’re getting all the joy, fun and good stuff you deserve. I’m proud to say that my newsletter is a Substack Bestseller and my interview with Sheryl Sandberg was featured in the top 10 most-read posts on the site.
This year we have been listed as a Substack bestseller!
So why am I here on Substack?
Because I want to hear more from all of you and your tales from the front line of midlife. This is where we’ll share all the good stuff and the bad. It’s where I’ll get to speak to you and you’ll get to talk to one another.
Every week I’ll send you a newsletter where I document my own midlife journey and the thought-leadership which comes from spending my life in a constant Queenager focus group. If you would like to become a paid member of NOON then come on over to NOON.org.uk where all our membership happens and you can sign up to receive the Queenager newsletter every week. The action here on Substack is more sporadic!
Finally, if there’s a woman in your life that you think should be part of the Queenager club, please share this with the brilliant women you know.
