I Have a BIG Announcement to Make...

After two decades of being a news anchor, I have some breaking news of my own. On November 10th, I will officially be signing off from my news anchor job at WPIX in NYC after 15 years. I'm excited and emotional, but I know it’s time for me to put my energy into my next chapter - advocating for women who are experiencing life transitions, reinvention, midlife, menopause, and everything in between.

What to expect from me: I am currently launching a podcast and a book and documentary are in the works!

I have you all to thank for this - for talking about what's on your mind, sharing what resonates with you, and allowing me to share my life with you. I'm so excited to take you along for the ride.

If you have any questions at all, please leave them in the comments!

About Tamsen Fadal:
Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, and menopause advocate. Known as social media’s midlife mentor, her candor and relatability have established her as a leading voice in the menopause space with a passionate, loyal social media audience of 3+ million.

Tamsen is the producer and executive producer of the PBS documentary The M Factor, Shredding the Silence on Menopause which is the first documentary of its kind confronting the neglected menopause crisis, challenging societal and medical shortcomings, and advocating for a revolutionary approach to women’s health.

She’s the best friend helping guide women through midlife and beyond, acting as a one-stop resource for everything they need to know to live their best lives.

Ps 52 is not old. My 54 year old inspiration is JLO! She is so beautiful in so many ways and doesn’t stick to just one thing. Look at her lingerie line. You are making a pivot into new possibilities and passions, new visions! ❤

From one Lebanese/ Italian 50 something gal(from WV) to another… congratulations!

My 2 cents. There are people out there that have made a big name for themselves giving tools and advice for people. However I think there are so many people, every day people, that have life experiences that just never thought of themselves as someone wise or they don’t do much on social media or whatever it may be. I would say to not overlook the every day people who are amazing and inspiring. Every once in a while maybe have a chat with them. I really look up to them. Especially in comment sections. I’ve seen some really amazing things in comments. Just my 2 cents

[aileenoleary]

You are a much needed inspirational voice for all of us. I’m nearly 52 and so excited to have voices such as yours speaking on behalf of our generation!

I love this. I became a Social Worker last year after years of floundering through different careers and never feeling settled. I turned 50 this year and I finally feel the most settled in my career than I ever have. When your career matches your values it feels like home. Congratulations and good luck!

[Rogerechols]

You go Tamsen! Was great working with you in WV. Rock on!!

[twyladean]

Exciting!! I spent 14 years of my adult life as a hairstylist and after a divorce I went back to school for psychology. Next week on Nov 16th I graduate as a social worker at 50yrs old and couldn't be happier. I know this is where I am supposed to be!

[maryannlorusso]

Tamsen, congratulations! As a former journalist, I have been so inspired by you and how you have connected with and encouraged so many women who are navigating this midlife transition. We need you in this space, and I cannot wait for all of your new endeavors to unfold. Thank you for all you do, and I hope you're taking some time to celebrate all of it!

[KarawithaK]

I’m happy for you! I hope to find my next steps.
I’m 45 and no idea what to do for work. I’ve done many random jobs for the last 30 years and nothing to show for it. Been applying to low level, random, work from home jobs and no one wants to hire an older woman with no expertise in anything.
It’s disheartening and depressing amidst perimenopause feeling pretty useless as it is 😞

[Bdphonorat]

Congratulations Tamsen good luck with everything you do

[shelitaw]

Change is always scary. You've got this. You're brave enough and intelligent enough to do this. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

[susanniemeyer]

You are inspiring, daring and so full of life and knowledge. You will take on a journey that includes all of the
Us courageous ladies that are working with and listening to you for the long haul. Thank you for sharing and taking this leap.

[racheld]

Didn’t know you were a news anchor. I’ve seen some of your posts on IG about other things. Makeup, your fashion, advice for life. Had no clue. But now that you say that it makes sense why you always look fabulous! Women anchors are beautiful. Now it adds up.

[gelidloni]

I squealed when you said Oak Hill, WV as that's the area I grew up. I didn't realize your background and I'm so glad that I came across your incitefullness. Cheers to new beginnings!

[Fandemonium]

Dearest Tamsen, (u might know me as ‘SolaceSoul’)… I’m really not sure of what to say so I’m just going to speak freely from my heart. I wish you only THE BEST in your future endeavors… I hope to follow along w/ you on your next chapter & I’m looking fwd to the release of your book & your other future projects… but just know that I love you SO much & you will be SOOOO missed on my tv screen each evening; it just won’t be the same w/o you. Over the last decade +, I feel as if you have become a part of my family. Please stay connected… xo ❤.

[bourjoism]

Wow what an incredible career you had …very proud.. I’m sure u want to explore new things most of us don’t like to change course and we still stuck in situations not reflecting what we truly want

[brendakeener]

I switched careers, too . I decided to become a photographer after being in the legal field my whole working life. I love it and would never look back. You will be successful no matter what you decide to do. ❤

[SuitsSolesbyepp]

OMG...Nov 10th is also my "sign off" (yes retirement at 53 yrs) from a 20-year career as a professional opera/jazz singer! AND I'M OSCILLATING between fear and excitement. But, I, too, know that I'm doing the right thing in transitioning to another creative passion.

Wishing you the very best in your new endeavors and adventures!

Love, Light and Blessings, ❤
Erica

Way to go, Tamsen!! I love the symbolism in your video with one door closed directly behind you (old job), while the open doorway is to your left---open to new opportunities, new directions, new paths, new possibilities. Congratulations on being fierce, fabulous, and an inspiration to us all!!

I'm 40 and slowly seeing that my career as a sales woman doesn't look that bad added to the fact that I build it parally to growing up 2 kids alone. Now I feel it's time to reflect about the next steps I will have on my professional path, maybe daring to make also a big change. I want my kids to be even more proud of their mom and want to be for them a model role. Thank you for being so inspirational for us women! You feel like a big sister to me! ❤
