Belle&Yell Launches the MORE LIFE Podcast Series and Calls for a New Perspective on Women 45+
Women today are living longer, healthier, and more self-determined lives than any generation before them. Yet society continues to tell the same story: once women reach their mid-forties, they are expected to gradually fade into the background—professionally, socially, and in the media.
But what if age isn’t the problem? What if the problem is the way we see it?
With MORE LIFE, the European platform Belle&Yell launches a new podcast series that asks exactly this question. Hosted by entrepreneurs Regula Bathelt and Nicole Voss, the series explores why the second half of life isn’t about becoming less—it’s about becoming more.
“Others call it Midlife. We call it More Life.” This is more than the series’ tagline. It is an invitation to rethink what midlife really means.
Honest Conversations About What Really Matters
MORE LIFE is neither a traditional interview podcast nor another advice show for women in midlife. The podcast series is built around the open dialogue between Regula Bathelt and Nicole Voss—two entrepreneurs with different life experiences but one shared conviction: the most exciting years are still ahead of us, not behind us.
In every episode, they talk openly and honestly about health, careers, finances, and life. They share personal experiences, challenge social expectations, and explain why experience is not a limitation, but a strength.
Episode One: “Midlife Crisis? We Call It MORE LIFE.”
In the premiere episode, Regula Bathelt and Nicole Voss explain why they created MORE LIFE.
They talk about hot flashes and friendships, career reinvention, learning to surf at 50, and why so many women eventually stop defining themselves by other people’s expectations and start choosing their own path.
It is the beginning of a conversation series for women who are not looking for instructions—but for new perspectives.
Women 45+ Do Not Belong on the Margins of Society
MORE LIFE is part of Belle&Yell, the European platform for women 45+ that is rethinking health, careers, finances, and life.
Through its magazine, community, podcast series, experts, masterclasses, and curated marketplace, Belle&Yell creates a place for women who still have big plans—and who believe that experience is the foundation for what comes next.
About the Podcast Series
“After nearly 30 years in branding, I’m convinced that midlife doesn’t have a women’s problem—it has a branding problem. For decades, we’ve been telling women the wrong story about this stage of life. With MORE LIFE, we want to show that the second half of life is full of possibilities—if we have the courage to rethink it.”

“Working in the fashion and lifestyle industry, I’ve seen how quickly women over 45 disappear from campaigns, magazines, and public visibility. Yet in real life, they don’t disappear at all. They start businesses, reinvent their careers, care for their families, discover new passions, and continue shaping society. It’s time they became visible again.”
