  • One Hot Topic: Menopause

    Menopause is HOT right now! Join Joy & Lorraine as they share their research and thoughts on why menopause is so prevalent in the news, on social media and at the doctor’s office!

    Some of the key topics of the discussion include:

    • More Open Conversations: Women are finally talking openly about menopause, which is breaking old taboos. For years, it was something people avoided discussing, but now, there’s more focus on supporting women through this stage of life.
  • Aging Population: With more women hitting menopause and living longer afterward, there’s a growing need to address the specific health and lifestyle issues that come with it. So, naturally, it’s becoming more of a hot topic.
  • Celebrity Spotlight: Well-known figures, like Michelle Obama and Naomi Watts, are sharing their personal experiences with menopause. This is huge because when celebrities talk about it, it helps normalize the conversation and encourages others to open up.
  • Workplace Changes: More companies are starting to recognize the impact of menopause on women at work. Some are even introducing policies or wellness programs that support women going through this transition, which helps bring the issue into the spotlight.
  • Booming Wellness Industry: There’s a growing market for menopause-related products—everything from hormone therapy to skincare. As companies focus more on this group, it’s naturally drawing more attention to the topic.

    • How do you feel about your current circle? Do you want to expand or contract it? Does your circle lift you up? Discuss the value you see of spending time with like-hearted people verses like-minded people.

  • The Beauty Debut with Claudia Fabian!

    Joy & Lorraine welcome a very special guest on this episode of Girlish Gurus!

    Please join us in welcoming Claudia Fabian of @thebeautydebut on Instagram!

    Claudia Fabian is a 30-year beauty industry expert. Her career as a makeup artist, esthetician and Instagram pro-age beauty influencer has really given her the edge in understanding industry trends. In 2021 she decided against the advice of her peers to embrace her grey hair, she began sharing her experience on Instagram and has grown to over 199K followers. There she shares makeup tips and tutorials and her love of all things glamour. Her goal is to encourage women to age glamorously! Her message of age-positivity has inspired many to also embrace their grey. Her philosophy of “glamour never expires” is a message many people can get behind. After 3 decades in the beauty industry, Claudia’s mission as a beauty industry veteran is to begin shifting that narrative around aging as well as encourage beauty brands to showcase more women over 40 as well as change the message from anti-aging to skin health. Claudia has been an esthetician for many high-profile spas throughout her career as well as serving as VP of Sales with many professional skincare brands.

     

    Some of the key topics of the discussion include:

    *Claudia shares how she came to be in the beauty/skincare profession

    *When was The Beauty Debut born?

    *How each decade we debut a new beauty that evolves and changes and how we can celebrate it!

    *What does aging glamorously mean?

    *What led to Claudia embracing & "going grey"?

    *How the beauty industry promotes anti-aging and feeds our insecurities.

    *Claudia shares about her mission of bringing awareness to pro aging and accepting ourselves as we age.

    *What does Claudia have planned for the future?
