Stacy London is 52 and wants to be seen, not for the What Not To Wear TV host that she came to be most known for at 32, but for the woman on fire she is today. New beginnings often come with big endings, and for Stacy, there has been a heavy reckoning over the confluence of her hit TV show ending that rocket-shipped her to fame, grief over the passing of her father, and the emotional and physical toil accompanying the end of her child bearing body. But, with the unconditional support from the woman and partner she loves, Stacy is approaching the middle of her life -a time where most women begin to feel invisible- by letting go of what was and deciding to play big while starting all over again. She is taking on Menopause - something that no one seems to know anything about even though ½ the population goes through it - as the CEO of her own startup, State Of, a company dedicated to raising awareness about and providing rapid relief for menopausal symptoms. Today, Stacy no longer cares about telling anyone What Not To Wear. Instead, her passion lies in letting menopausal people know that she is not only on their side, but that the second half of life has the potential to become the most abundant time for anyone to come into their own, like it has for her.
“There seems to be this huge gap between 40 and 70… This is a stage of life that we dismiss because we think that the end of fertility is sort of the ultimate infertility...If we keep talking about this stage of life -- the middle of life -- as some sort of ending, instead of maybe an ending that has a new beginning, we lose the incredible brilliance and wisdom of people at this age...”

I met Stacy about 10 years ago when I worked in television. We became instant friends, and we spent many nights talking on the phone for hours about anything and everything. She is, without a doubt, the single most interesting woman I've ever met. She's exceptionally bright, and creative, and passionate, and driven. She is also haunted by a great many things, as she alluded to here. Clearly, she still has so much to offer women, of all ages.

I had the pleasure of ringing her up at a NYC Whole Foods store back when I worked there and she was so cool and nice! I didn't make any mention that I knew who she was but we just had a really organic conversation about food and I think she made a brief mention about her food sensitivities. What an amazing woman-so glad she got to be a part of your life as well.

"Nobody told me" what menopause would be like. I was lucky. I was taking bellydance lessons at 48. My instructor, who was sexy and juicy and vibrant, stopped mid shimmy and said "oh.....I'm having a hot flash". She glowed crimson from her belly up....and most importantly, she described a flooding feeling of dread. She explained how she had learned to understand it was a biological phenomenon and not related to any specific event or worry. The first time it happened to me I understood it immediately. I was able to ride it out. Stacey just made me cry about not wanting to have been a mother. I was the same. These are such powerful pieces.

I know it's harder as a child and am lucky to gave had my dad around until I was almost 36. Brandy H.2426 wasn't saying it wasn't more difficult as a child, just that it was hard at any age. And she's right. It would have been a lot worse as a child, I watched my "nephews" go through it (although the one who was barely 5 at the time didn't quite understand and was sort of blissfully unaware a lot of the time), but as an adult it still destroyed me to lose my dad. My whole world blew up and my mom was destroyed. Bottom line is that no matter what the age - and I agree it's way harder on kids - it's soul-destroying to lose people you love. That's why my friends and family make sure we let each other know how supported, appreciated and loved we all are 😊🖤.

Listening to Stacy talk about thanking her body was a revelation to me. For years I have hated my body and felt betrayed by nature that I was not one of those beautiful, petite, just the right shape women. I am off on a journey now to spend some time daily thanking my body for getting me through trauma, grief, bullying, shame, and guilt. My body has endured so much both done from outside sources and from my own self-deprecation. It has stayed with me all these years and for that I am grateful. I plan to spend the next 30 years recognizing how loving and faithful my body has been to me and showing gratitude in how I treat her.

@kathleenem9207 2 года назад

My condolences for losing your mom. I was blessed to have my mother until I was 54. Now I am 72. Even at that age the child in me resented losing my mother. We were very, very close. When she died I went into a severe depression for at least a year-maybe more, I really don’t remember that time. I managed to get through the days. I was fortunate to have two children and a husband who needed me and a family who cared about me. Two years later I went back to teaching after being home for 22 years. It helped bring me to a better place and I began to heal. I would say it took a good 10 years before I could visit the cemetery and not cry. It never gets better BUT it does become different. Eventually you begin to have more happy memories than sad ones. I still miss her every day and talk to her all the time. I tell my grandchildren stories about her. I am not minimizing your feelings but you will get through this in your own time and your mom would want you to. Grief is the price we pay for loving someone but yours is magnified by losing your mother at a young age. She is still with you inside and always will be. Make her proud by living a good life, being happy, and passing on the love she gave you.

It changed my life for the better to embrace that fearful feeling and, eventually, get over it. It opened up my world, really, in the sense that it gave me the freedom to just be. It freed my mind from that constant anxiety of worrying about my appearance, iykwim? Hard to explain, but you will get there!! You're already examining and reflecting on your thoughts and feelings! That's how it started with me.❤

Aging is a chance to love yourself in a new form, and see your beauty as it changes in the different stages of your life. We're beautiful throughout our lives, especially if we're treating ourselves with compassion. Self love shows. Being kind to ourselves is the best beauty treatment ever, and it's free! I'm 71, and I think I look excellent, without make up, and with a lot more around my middle. Men still flirt with me (and not 70 year olds, younger men) so I know my feelings about myself definitely put a sparkle in my eye.

I watched your show to explore my own little world whilst escaping my overbearing/boundaryless/terrifying mother. When I tell you that this is has been the single most healing StyleLikeU episode I have ever watched, I mean it. Stacy, as a bisexual woman with a fierce love for her father and deep pain with her mother, I share my love with you. I am so touched by your vulnerability and am so shocked at how much we share. Thank you for choosing to do this show, at this time, on your own time.

My mom is in my life but because she didn't raise me, there is a bit of a disconnect, and funny enough, I am 51 and childless, because I lacked the yearning as well. Still figuring life out, but this video has helped me feel ok about it all. Thanks 💕.

When someone says "you still look good," it's saying that you looked good way back when and you look good now. I've admired Stacy London for insisting on never hiding her teensy gray streak and for her brains. During her "What Not to Wear" days, much of what she did was instill self-confidence in the women who were being made over. That *alone* made a huge difference.

I responded to a comment the other day where someone had said in a Sade music clip from 2020 “ she doesn’t look a day over 21” I said “ she is gorgeous and does look over 21- what is with this this prerequisite of “ looking beautiful Becsuse she looks young”. Women should be celebrated for enjoying their aging and being beautiful not despite age but intrinsic to it. Once I hit 40- I noticed very clearly the “ social invisibility and parameters put in place to contain/define/turn down the volume on women over 40. But I will not be turned down. Aging is a bloody privilege not given to many. Aging with gumption and with defiance of beauty and cultural standards is even rarer. More power to women who have lives of experience- they are gifts of knowledge.

I love her, her strength, her candor, and her current, bangin' style. For me, perimenopause went on for sixteen years and it was hell. I was severely depressed and anxious for over a decade, even with medication and therapy. Perimenopause messes with your state of mind in ways that are crippling, and this is not sufficiently recognized by the medical community ("It's all in your head.") I like to call that stretch of a woman's life the Devil's Waiting Room, because after menopause, I have a fabulous IDGAF view on life in general, and at 71, I'm having a hell of a good time, even while I'm waiting on a hip replacement. I can't wait to shake my hips and my ass with abandon again!

As a 42yo woman, I look up the celebrity ladder to see what 10 years from now looks like, and I have no idea what 52yo looks like on a woman, because they've all had so much plastic surgery and procedures done. I have nothing against a little bit here and there, but damn, no one even looks like themselves anymore. Looking at Stacy and seeing what a minimally altered 52yo looks like is so comforting. It's not scary! She looks normal and healthy and happy and sexy - and not 25yo (thank goodness). Thank you thank you thank you!

There's something incredibly attractive and sexy about an older woman that has character to her face, takes pride in herself, and has beautiful life experience. It's a beauty that can't be found in a 25 year old. I wish the world could recognize that there is beauty in age. Stacy always has and always will be such a beauty!

I think the obsession with being remembered or leaving behind a legacy is tied up with a fear of mortality. Because if your legacy outlasts you, you can tell yourself that you didn't truly die.
