MEET THE FOUNDER OF SILVER SIRENS
Faith Agugu
Faith Agugu is an Australian leader in the global positive ageing movement, which seeks to champion women aged 50 plus, and re-define how they approach ageing. She has always had the instinct that she would get better with age and is hoping to inspire other women into the same mindset.
In 2018 Faith launched Silver Sirens, Redefining Ageing, creating an age-positive community to challenge the negative narrative that surrounds women and ageing, and their inaugural Redefining Ageing event was held the same year.
Iconic Australian women took the stage to speak about this potent and transformational period of our lives. Health, beauty, business, leadership and spirituality were all on the agenda.
As a trained psychotherapist with a Bachelor of Social Science, Faith has helped hundreds of women at her Sydney-based practice, The Healing Process, to experience their ‘third age’ as a renaissance of self and true rebirth.
Faith believes that women often internalise cultural messages that warp our ideas of age into something to ignore or even fear, blinding us to our own accomplishments, sexiness and worth.
Faith’s vision to be of service to a wider audience has garnered an audience that doubles year on year, and national media attention, such as feature articles on Silver Sirens in Mindfood Magazine, New Idea and The Guardian, She has also made several television appearances on SBS's Insight and Channel 9's Today Extra.
