Eleanor Mills had a very fabulous job, one that she had built her life and identity around for decades. But her "midlife collision" was calling when the boss called her up to their office for a "chat". Years on, Eleanor is living a very different life, and one that has its start, as some good stories do, in a midlife mushroom trip. In this conversation, Eleanor talks about the question women are too afraid to ask themselves, empty nests, cold swimming, why her "Noon" women are the world's greatest untapped resource, and how she cured her "addiction to busyness" to rebuild after her midlife collision. You can find more about that, and Eleanor’s community of Queenagers here. THE END BITS: ENTER SUBSCRIBER GIVEAWAYS: Use code MIDCRUISE for 20% off a yearly subscription. Share your feedback!

Jeannette is joined by Eleanor Mills, bestselling Harper Collins author of 'Much More to Come' and founder of Noon, a community dedicated to empowering women in midlife. Eleanor shares her personal journey of transformation after leaving her long-standing role at The Sunday Times, discussing the challenges and opportunities that arise during midlife. The discussion also delves into the concept of midlife as a chrysalis rather than a crisis, emphasising the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and the power of community. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of midlife should be viewed not as a crisis but as a transformative period, where individuals can shed old identities and emerge as their true selves, embracing new opportunities and possibilities. Building a supportive community, like the Noon Circle, is essential for women navigating midlife transitions. Sharing experiences and stories in a safe space fosters connection and encourages personal growth. Taking the first step to engage with new experiences, whether through retreats or community gatherings, can be daunting but is crucial for rebuilding confidence and discovering one's voice. Acknowledging that you are enough as you are, without the need for external validation or societal standards, is a powerful step towards self-empowerment and authenticity. BEST MOMENTS "What we see with the women in the community is this sense of a huge shift into purpose... you really haven't got so much time to kind of waste or to kind of mess around with." "I think that when we really speak up and we say what we really mean and we're not afraid, that is what can change the world." "I think that there's also a massive opportunity, a kind of liberation to step into one's power and into a new and different version of oneself." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

“Midlife is when those dreams we had when we were young but put aside to earn a living or raise a family can finally be revisited; it's never too late to be what you wanted to be”. This is the philosophy of Noon, a community for women in midlife created by Eleanor Mills. Eleanor experienced her own reckoning with midlife after leaving her job with the Sunday Times, confronting an empty nest and dealing with Covid. She embarked on a journey to explore new ways of living and find her “next act”. In this classic episode, Eleanor and Andrew discuss shifting your perspective on midlife and seeing it as a space without a map. Unlike your twenties, thirties and even forties, there are few expectations around family and career, meaning you can chart your own way and be what you've always wanted to be. If you're feeling lost or alone after decades of putting other people first, or are exhausted dealing with midlife stresses like divorce, bereavement, redundancy, difficult teens, elderly parents or health problems, then this is the episode for you.

The town of New Brunswick, New Jersey, was rocked by the discovery of two bodies beneath a crabapple tree in September 1922. The remains belonged to Edward Hall, a local pastor, and Eleanor Mills, a member of the church's choir. The two were found entwined beneath the tree -- an odd positioning considering they'd both been married to other people. Suspicion soon fell as the lovers' spouses, turning the tawdry tale into a media circus that went far beyond the tabloids.

Eleanor Mills is an award winning journalist, editor and broadcaster who has taken a bit of a pivot in her mid life by creating a community called ‘noon'. At 49, Eleanor was abruptly made redundant from her role as the editor of the Sunday Times Magazine and chair of women in journalism. She lost her sense of purpose, and her identity - and her family lost its main source of income. She felt washed up and burnt out; like everything which had defined her life for the last 25 years was gone. But then she noticed something: she wasn't alone. Today we are going to unpack what Eleanor calls the midlife cluster fuck, our perceived value as we age and a lot of the motivators and values that we hold as career driven women. We spoke about: Identity in ‘success' and our jobs What happens when that identity is shattered Real life ‘Succession' after working for Rupert Murdoch for 23 years Gendered ageism in our culture vs what we truly have to look forward to ‘Queenagers' - the freedom of becoming the woman you always wanted to be Power is fleeting when it's based off of fecundity and fuckability The double edged sword of speaking about menopause; exposure vs it being weaponised against up How Eleanor has helped so many women realise that there's much more to come past 50 Eleanor's new book titled ‘Much More to Come' can be found hereEleanor's InstagramEleanor's organisation Noon can be found here!

Have you ever felt paralyzed by fear, unable to make the leap towards the life you truly desire? Today's podcast features Heidi Fossali, life coach and author of "Frightened to Fabulous," where she recounts the pivotal moments of leaving an unhappy marriage and the resilience it took to rebuild her life as a single mother abroad. Her journey isn't just a story of personal victory; it's a beacon for anyone searching for the courage to pursue authentic joy and passion. I first met Heidi at a Noon retreat hosted by Eleanor Mills and we've been following each other's journey ever since. Heidi has an infectious zest for life and is helping other women find theirs too. Discovering who we truly are is often a journey that intensifies in our midlife years, where change becomes not just a want, but a need. Heidi and I discuss the emotional whirlwinds that accompany these transformations, whether it's navigating the new terrain of divorce, redefining a career path, or adjusting to the empty nest when children leave home. Heidi shares, with permission, some of her clients' own transformations, from overlooked to full of confidence is a powerful testament to the strength that lies in every woman. Moreover, we delve into the pressing issues that women in their 40s and beyond face—from the nuances of menopause to the importance of rekindling a relationship with one's body and spirit. We address the deep-seated topic of nurturing self-worth and the radiance that comes from within. Heidi highlights how true self-confidence is cultivated through internal clarity, nourishment, and physical well-being, rather than superficial makeovers. Whilst a flash of red lipstick might give you a quick lift , it's the inner work that will make a difference? Heidi has lived in some fabulous locations, including Los Angeles, London and now South of France and she shares her global insights on aging and self-assurance, urging us to empower the next generation to break free from self-limiting beliefs. As we close, we tackle the profound impact of authenticity and community support—encouraging listeners to embrace their own narratives, to speak their truth, and connect with a world that thrives on shared stories of empowerment.

New Brunswick, NJ, 1922. Edward Wheeler Hall, a Reverend, and Eleanor Mills, a member of his church choir, are found dead under a crabapple tree on a secluded road, also known as Lovers Lane. Both Edward and Eleanor were married to other people. Because of the brutality of how Eleanor was killed led police to believe that a woman was involved who had a lot of hatred for Eleanor. Despite multiple arrests and a sensational murder trial, no one has ever been convicted of the Hall-Mills murders. Both of the victim's spouses were investigated, but both had alibis. However, Frances Stevens Hall, Edward's wife, had a lot of money and it's been speculated by some that she paid for her alibi. Hall's wife, Frances Stevens Hall, and her brothers stood accused of murder, and the papers could not stop writing about the case. In the end, they were acquitted for lack of sufficient evidence. Did they get away with murder?Sources: https://crimereads.com/the-murder-of-edward-hall-and-eleanor-mills-new-jerseys-original-crime-of-the-century/https://www.newyorker.com/books/double-take/a-sensational-murder-trial-in-the-newly-founded-new-yorker History Nerds UnitedLet's make history fun again!

September 16, 1922 New Brunswick New Jersey. A married man and his teenage girlfriend discover two bodies on a lover's lane near an abandoned farm. Shocking to say the least, but even more scandalous were the names attached to the corpses. The minister at the local Episcopal church and a lady of the…choir. Their murders went unsolved and were swept under the carpet quickly by the church and a wealthy family. That is, until a fledgling New York Newspaper brought evidence forward to open the case again—and sell papers. By the time the trial is over, this story will capture the attention of the entire country with its midnight arrests, lust-filled love letters, odd accusations and even the testimony of some unlikely characters. This is the story of the Rev. Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills. The Preacher, the Choir Singer, and the Pig Woman.

Det är lättsamt prat i ett försök att hantera världens värsta ämne.
When Eleanor Mills left the Sunday Times she'd worked for for 23 years, she felt like she'd been pushed off a roof. Who was she without the big job that had given her a cloak of power? It was only when someone said “Change is difficult, but you'll be alright” that she started to relax. She says, “It's like the tide going out, sometimes there will be a big wave which knocks you over but the general direction will be better.” This gave her permission to find it tough. To endure. It was such a relief. After a lot of thinking and talking she decided to be the change she wanted to see in the world. Noon was born out of her desire to help women find a new path through midlife and beyond, to change the narrative. Midlife is when those dreams we had when we were young – but put aside to earn a living or raise a family – can finally be revisited. It's never too late to be what you wanted to be. Eleanor Mills is an award-winning editor, writer and broadcaster. She worked for The Sunday Times for 23 years as Editorial Director, Editor of The Sunday Times Magazine, and as a columnist and interviewer (interrogating everyone from Mikhail Gorbachev to Sheryl Sandberg and Theresa May). As Chair of Women in Journalism (2014 – 2021) she argued that the media must be a true mirror, not a distorting lens, which is what happens if decision makers are not diverse. She is a trustee of the Society of Editors, a board member of Reporters Sans Frontiers and her publications include Cupcakes and Kalashnikovs: 100 Years of the Best Journalism by Women, published by Hachette. She is working on her first novel and lives in London with her husband and two teenage daughters. www.noon.org.uk

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we talk about one of the most sensationalized murders of the 1920s, the Hall-Mills murder. In September of 1922, Dude Passerby and his girlfriend stumbled upon the bodies of Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills. Hall was the local pastor, and Mills was in the church choir. But the details got crazy. First, the entire congregation knew of the affair. Second, Hall was married to an older heiress of the Johnson & Johnson company and thought to be a gold digger. One of Hearst's newspapers whipped the nation into a frenzy over this murder, and the trial was one of legend. There was the Pig Woman who testified from her hospital bed. There were steamy love letters read to the crowd. But who did authorities think did the murder? Why did some people think it was the KKK? What made police rethink the case forty years later? Listen, laugh, learn.

This provincial double murder on a lonely lover's lane would soon become one of the most famous killings in American history—a veritable crime of the century. The bumbling local authorities failed to secure any indictments, however, and it took a swashbuckling crusade by the editor of a circulation-hungry Hearst tabloid to revive the case and bring it to trial at last.Blood & Ink freshly chronicles what remains one of the most electrifying but forgotten murder mysteries in U.S. history. It also traces the birth of American tabloid journalism, pandering to the masses with sordid tales of love, sex, money, and murder.

Despite being the only woman in the room early in her career, Eleanor Mills had a successful, rocket propelled career in journalism. Blindsided by her termination at the age of 49, Eleanor was determined to do something different and counteract the perception of women in the media. Eleanor is founder and CEO of Noon, a new platform for women in midlife. She campaigns to challenge gendered ageism and to change the narrative around the later stages of women's lives to one which is more optimistic and fit for purpose. She believes that 50 is the age of opportunity where we become the women we were supposed to be. She wants women to look forward to midlife as their prime. Eleanor became a founder at 50, having spent 25 year as an editor, columnist, interviewer and editorial director of the Times of London. She was chair of Women in Journalism UK from 2014-2021 and has campaigned around the media's male lens and diversity for 3 decades. She, along with Accenture, recently undertook the largest research project to date on women 45-60 called Meet The Queenagers. Eleanor exists to help women through the pinch points of midlife and into a new chapter and to challenge the cultural story that midlife women are peaches, one wrinkle and you're out, while men of the same vintage are seen as fine wine, improving with age. Eleanor is challenging this framing as the last bastien of feminism. The voices of older women go unheard in nearly all cultures and Eleanor says, “This must change.” What You Will Hear in This Episode: Eleanor's personal story. The culture and perception of women in media. The male lens. Creating Noon to showcase the stories of women doing incredible things in midlife. Midlife women are a huge audience. Queenagers. The scandal of lack of representation of older women. Women forged in fire. Reevaluating purpose and legacy. Helping women make a shift by bringing focus to it. The power of the demographic. Gender assumptions and stereotypes. Gendered ageism, ridiculous, unfair and bad business. Quotes “I knew that what had been had gone and I was definitely looking at a whole new future.” “What's wrong with looking a little bit older? We are all going to age.” “Women like us appear in less than 2% in advertising and less than 6% of those making marketing and advertising decisions are over 50.” “It's actually older women who are controlling the spend.” “By 2025 50% of the workforce in the US will be over 50.” “Senior women in organizations are 70% more likely to encourage other women of color and more diverse folk within an organization.” “In the 2019 UK census women of over 40 started earning more money than women under 40 for the first time ever.” Mentioned: Noon The Queenager on Substack Avivah Wittenberg Cox Susan Golden - Stage Not Age https://bonniemarcusleadership.com/ https://web.facebook.com/bonnie.marcus/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonniemarcus https://twitter.com/selfpromote https://www.instagram.com/self_promote_/ Gendered Ageism Survey Results Forbes article 5 Tips to own the superpower of your age IAMMusicGroup Purchase my book Not Done Yet on Amazon: If you enjoyed this episode of Badass Women Podcast, then make sure to subscribe to the podcast and drop us a five-star review.
On September 16, 1922, 41-year-old Reverend Edward Hall and 31-year-old Eleanor Mills were found dead beneath a crabapple tree in Franklin Township, New Jersey. Both Edward and Eleanor were married to other people. Despite multiple arrests and a sensational murder trial, no one has ever been convicted of the Hall-Mills murders. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murders of Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills. Eleanor's death was much more violent and brutal than Edward's. Witnesses said they overheard multiple women talking before they heard gunshots. This led police to believe that a woman was involved and involved a great hatred for Eleanor. Both of the victim's spouses were looked at but both provided alibis. But, Frances Stevens Hall, Edward's wife, had a lot of money and it's been speculated by some that she paid for her alibi.

Today we'll be taking a trip to The Edison Sanitarium, the site where Charlotte Mills, daughter of murder victim Eleanor Mills, lived out the last months of her tragic life. Today we'll hear two stories centering Charlotte. The first explores Charlotte's mental state whilst living and dying in the midst of a media frenzy dedicated to sensationalizing her mother's death. The second is adapted from an article by a 1950s newspaper reporter who reflects on how and why Charlotte Mills ended up at the Sanitarium.

Hello everybody and welcome back to another Ghost Hunt episode. I'm your host, Erin Bogert, bringing to you (you guessed it!) another radio play. In the last episode, I mentioned how Frances Hall, a prime suspect in the Hall-Mills double homicide case, took a vacation to Europe not long after the grand jury failed to indict anyone. In today's radio play, we find Mrs. Hall, joined by her friend Sally Peters, embarking on that journey.It's early February, 1923, and at Manhattan's Pier 55, a band of newspaper photographers are swarming the S.S. Mauretania (MORE-EH-TAY-NIA), an ocean liner setting out for Europe. They had been tipped off that Mrs. Frances Hall would be aboard, but when they searched the ship with the help of the passengers, no sign of her could be found. Instead, Mrs. Hall is forty blocks to the north of Pier 55, on the steam liner “America'' bound for Genoa (JEN-O-UH) and Naples in Italy. Her and Sally Peters had asked that their names be left off the guest list in order to avoid those same reporters. And so, the two are able to enjoy a peaceful departure… Tale as old as time, isn't it? Money talks so the wealthy don't have to. The murders of Eleanor and Edward happened in September of 1922. By the end of that November, the grand jury had failed to indict anyone. While the Mills, especially Eleanor's daughter Charlotte remain desperate for answers, for justice, wealthy Frances Hall, a prime suspect, travels abroad to Europe, where she remains for months. How would this case have been different if Eleanor Mills and her family had been wealthy? If Frances Hall and hers had been poor? I wonder, I wonder…This episode was brought to you by the New Brunswick Historical Society and Thinkery & Verse.

Hi, I'm Erin Bogert, your host, welcoming you back to Ghost Hunt. Today we visit a ghost near and dear to my heart, Pearl Bahmer, and I think you'll see why once we get started.In the summer and fall of 1922, New Brunswick teenager Pearl Bahmer was sexually assaulted by her father. To escape his abuse, Pearl sought the companionship of a young man named Raymond Schneider. But this didn't make things better. Raymond proved manipulative, jealous, and violent. On the morning of September 16th, 1922, Raymond pressured Pearl to go to DeRussy's lane, a so-called “Lover's Lane” outside of town. The details of what happened next are disputed. But what is known is that they saw the maimed corpses of the Reverend Edward Hall and the choir singer Eleanor Mills. At Pearl's insistence, they reported the bodies to the police. The political and criminal circus that became known as the Hall-Mills investigation had begun. And Pearl was at the center of it all. As more and more details came to light, Pearl began to receive death threats from Schneider's ex-wife, his friends and his family. Her father was arrested, and the newspapers tore apart every piece of her tragic life. She then tried to drown herself in the Raritan River. The police got her out and incarcerated her in a reform school.

Welcome back to Ghost Hunt. I'm your host, Erin Bogert, and today's radio play brings you the ghost of Augusta Tennyson. Augusta was Eleanor Mills younger sister, the aunt to Eleanor's children, Charlotte and Daniel Mills. In fact, on the very night of their mother's infamous murder, Charlotte and Daniel happened to be visiting their aunt in her home. But we won't be joining them. Insead, we will join Augusta the morning of Sept 16, 1922 when she and Eleanor's husband, James Mills, first learned that two bodies were discovered on the outskirts of town. We find Augusta speaking to her husband, Edward Tennyson, from their home in New Brunswick.

Welcome back for our second Ghost Hunt episode. I'm your host, Erin Bogert. In this episode, we're jumping back to 1921, and we're just shy of backstage at Daly's 63rd Street Music Hall, at 22 West 63rd Street, between Broadway and Central Park West. A performance of “Shuffle Along” ended about thirty minutes ago, and the Reverend Edward Hall and his date, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, stayed behind to grandstand the fact that Edward Hall knows (in passing) the already famous Rutgers alum Paul Robeson, here making his Broadway debut in the choir while attending law school. The stars of our little story are not the doomed lovers or the great Paul Robeson, but two other choir singers, Nelly and J.E.B. are waiting for the theater patrons to leave the theater so that they can get on with their evening. Oh, and for those who don't know, Shuffle Along was the first Broadway smash hit with an entirely Black cast: it not only changed who belonged on Broadway's biggest stages, it also introduced an entirely new sound and feel to the music and rhythm of American popular music. But in both 1921 and now, success on the stage did not result in equal treatment, a dichotomy reflected in the thoughts of our radio play's protagonist, J.E.B.This episode was brought to you by the New Brunswick Historical Society and Thinkery & Verse.
