“We were handed scripts. Now we’re revising together.”

when generations meet in conversation

Life Après® began as a space for women navigating pivotal moments in their lives. Through live events, essays, and podcast conversations, something deeper emerged: the tension wasn’t only about change—it was about power, perception, and how women see one another across generations.

Today, Life Après is a media platform exploring ambition, influence, identity, aging, and visibility through intergenerational conversations.

We examine what women inherit, what they challenge, and what they choose to rewrite.

Sylvia's Story

A Life Après® Podcast

The Women’s Current

The Women’s Current is an intergenerational podcast where women from different backgrounds and stages of life reflect on ambition, identity, relationships, and change.

Rather than offering answers, the conversations explore what women were — and weren’t — given language for, and how timing, access, and silence shape the lives we build. It’s a space for curiosity, context, and honest reflection — without judgment or easy narratives.

founder & CEO of Life Après®

Sylvia Beckerman

When I left my second marriage in 2015, I didn’t have a roadmap — only the instinct that I wasn’t finished.

So I did something unconventional. I walked into Bed Bath & Beyond, created a post-divorce registry, and threw myself a party. My son and his fiancée were starting a new chapter. So was I.

That moment wasn’t about reinvention. It was about agency.

After a 20+ year career as an executive in the insurance industry, and two marriages behind me, I began asking different questions — not just about my own life, but about what women are and aren’t told at pivotal moments.

Losing access to an email account I’d used for decades — because it had been attached to a husband’s name — was a small but revealing wake-up call. How many practical, cultural, and unspoken rules had I absorbed without ever examining them? How many had other women?

That curiosity became Après Divorce.
Which became Life Après®.
Which evolved into The Women’s Current.

What began as sharing stories became something larger: a space for women across generations to examine power, timing, silence, ambition, and the narratives we inherit — and choose to rewrite.

I don’t know exactly what’s next.
But I do know this: I’m still opening doors.

Not to prove we can.

But to ask better questions.
