The STANDOUT Podcast is the defining space for high-achieving women entering their 40s who are evolving their identity, wellness, ambition, and confidence - without pressure, noise, or burnout.

Hosted by Darine, founder of AFROA Beauty and former global consultant turned wellness storyteller, this show explores the profound transitions women experience after 35: shifting identity, changing energy, hormonal evolution, emotional resilience, burnout recovery, radiant wellbeing, soft power, and elevated simplicity.

Each episode blends grounded wellness insight, identity-led coaching, and refined clarity to help you rise into your most ICONIC era— calmer, clearer, more powerful, and deeply aligned.

This is where women 35–50 come for language, wisdom, and grounded guidance on:

  • redefining success

  • navigating hormonal and energy shifts

  • supporting skin, stress, and emotional balance

  • reinventing career, purpose, and self-image

  • cultivating radiance from the inside out

If you’re entering your next chapter and craving ease, evolution, and embodied confidence — this space was made for you.

Welcome to your ICONIC era — where success feels softer, wellness feels personal, and identity becomes your superpower.
