Alyson Walsh, aka That's Not My Age has also written an exclusive interview with Amanda on her subscription platform.

Alyson is a freelance journalist, author and former magazine fashion editor. And  strongly believes that it’s not about age, it’s about style. That’s Not My Age began in 2008, when she noticed a space online to celebrate midlife and beyond. Over a decade later, she is proud that as well as providing expert advice, style tips, interviews and podcasts, That’s Not My Age has been at the forefront of a movement empowering women and calling out ageism and sexism.

That’s Not My Age was winner of the Best Women’s Fashion Blog 2019 at Vuelio’s Online Influence Awards.

The Patreon membership funds her journalism - Alyson says

'Quite a lot of content on this site is free and I will always keep it that way so that readers who don’t have the money to spare are not excluded. Every paid subscription is valuable for the future of this site and goes towards creating engaging content to inspire and empower women of all ages. Those who are generous enough to subscribe allow this to happen – and to be perfectly honest, last year, without this financial support, I wouldn’t have been able to keep That’s Not My Age going. I would have had to take on more paid freelance work, and doing so means no time for TNMA. So, I owe you all a great big THANK YOU. I do really appreciate my loyal following, from the regulars who feel like old friends in the comments box – to those who seldom comment but have been with me all along.'
