In this deeply honest and inspiring conversation, we sit down with psychotherapist, healer, and founder of Silver Sirens, Faith Agugu, to explore what it truly means to age with purpose, authenticity, and freedom.

Faith shares her personal journey from working in the fashion industry to rebuilding her life through psychotherapy, spiritual healing, and community leadership in her 50s. Together, we unpack the narratives society places on women as they age, the emotional realities of menopause, identity shifts, motherhood, reinvention, and why midlife may actually be one of the most liberating chapters of life.

We also explore:
• The difference between how ageing is perceived for men and women
• Why women often fear physical changes and identity loss
• The emotional impact of empty nesting and childlessness
• Faith’s Nigerian heritage and how it shaped her perspective on ageing and community
• The importance of authenticity, purpose, and reclaiming your voice later in life
• Why Faith believes ageing is not a decline, but a metamorphosis

This episode is a powerful reminder that your life does not diminish with age. In many ways, it expands.

In this podcast, I talk with Faith Agugu, psychotherapist and founder of Silver Sirens, an ageing positive community for women over 50+. We discuss why the traditional narrative around ageing for women is not only limiting but harmful to wisdoms self-esteem and well-being. the research shows when you embrace your second half of life with curiousity and confidence you are setting yourself up to live well.

Faith Agugu always imagined she would be a mother. But at 45, after many, many detours, she decided it was time to recognise the reality that wasn't going to happen, and almost immediately everything changed for her.
Faith wants us to make peace with the lives we're living and the ones we didn't quite get to live. In fact, she wants us live in a pro-ageing world. She knows it exists, because it's where she was born, into a culture where everyone wanted to be the oldest person in the room. They were the respected ones, the wise ones, the ones with status.

Faith lived in Nigeria until she was 9, then in Britain and now in Australia. She says that through her work as a psychotherapist, and founder of advocacy group Silver Sirens, ageing-anxiety is ruining our mental health. And it's fair to say, she has some ideas about how to deal with that.

This conversation is a big exhale. Like taking off your bra, it's about making peace with the changes age brings, and the surprises, and the shit bits too.
