Start. Stop. Shift. She's Not Done.
A conversation about women reinventing in midlife. 

Why this conversation? Why now?This event lands during World Menopause Month, shortly after Menopause
Asia's first anniversary. It's a natural moment to widen the conversation from menopause itself to the bigger question underneath it - what it means to be seen at midlife, not just in terms of symptoms, but in terms of what a woman is still capable of.

START
MARGARET CHEWIn her 50s and training for Mount Everest. “Every woman has her Everest.” The conversation goes beyond the climb - into ambition, fear and what makes a woman decide there's still more she wants to do -because it’s never too late to begin. Just months before her climb, she lost her youngest son, Joseph - this is a lesson in courage, resilience and purpose.

STOPREJINA RAHIMNearly three decades in investment management before founding, thenrecently closing, Wahine Capital. One of the original women featured in Menopause Asia's #SeenAtMidlife campaign at launch in 2025. A story about the courage and wisdom toclose one chapter and her learnings from it.

SHIFTALICE AUBuilt a career in insurance in Singapore, then spent 15 years in banking in London, until 40 arrived with redundancy, a health scare and a divorce, all at once. She went on to found Prime Midlife, a coaching platform for professionals across Asia Pacific navigating exactly that kind of reset. A story about what falls apart, and the decade you build in its place.

Menopause Asia and Temu House are coming together to create a space for 30 women in midlife to learn, connect and talk honestly about this season of life. START. STOP. SHIFT. is the first of a hoped-for quarterly series through 2027 - real conversations, real women, all transitioning through midlife and asking the question: “What’s next?” 

WHY THIS WORK MATTERSThis is a reminder that a woman's best years are still ahead of her.
