Healing Your Mind, Body and Spirit at Midlife and Beyond for Beginners.  Created by Silke Schwarzkopf and Paige Valdiserri, available on Udemy

Connect to the Healing Properties of your Soul and Spirit. Created by Silke Schwarzkopf and Paige Valdiserri, available on Udemy

In the midst of ending a 25-year marriage, creator Silke Schwarzkopf developed 2nd Act TV based on her stormy, emotional and – more often than initially anticipated – comical experiences with starting life over at fifty. 

Appropriately dubbed “Hormonal Reunion,” the pilot shoot featured a circle of real high school friends reuniting 35-years later to discover that, not unlike high school, all are navigating major life issues … now with just a few more wrinkles! 

A supportive setting (and a few glasses of wine) prompts open conversation about highly personal matters that surprisingly are not so unique! The desire to have true love, purpose, passion, and yes – hot sex – is alive and kicking after 50. The challenge is taking stock and – if need be – charting a new course in the era of “menopause without a manual.”
