Real Women, Real Stories: The Power of a Midlife Reset
NEW CHAPTER, NEW ENERGY
Meet Tamara Costa, executive leader, community mentor, and the voice behind @newageofwomen. With over 25 years in leadership roles at some of Canada’s leading law firms and now stepping into a role at one of the country’s premier real estate companies, Tamara is stepping into her 50s ready for a refresh—both personally and professionally. Like many of our clients, Tamara came to Hangar9 not to reinvent herself, but to realign. She was ready for a wardrobe that reflects the woman she is now: confident, intentional, and evolving. Working with our stylist team, she embraced the idea that style can be a tool for showing up fully in your life—whether you’re stepping into a boardroom, a new decade, or simply a day that matters to you.

How does personal style play a role in this new chapter?
Style is part of our identity and evolves with us. At this stage, I’m drawn to pieces that are timeless and reflect confidence and authenticity rather than following trends. It’s about wearing what makes you feel like yourself.
Can you tell us more about your platform @newageofwomen?
As women, we deal with so much change throughout our lives, and midlife can be especially trying: children leaving home, aging parents, physical changes and menopause can be difficult and leave many women feeling alone. New Age of Women speaks to the innate power and resilience of women and provides support as they navigate midlife. Instead of mourning our youth, we're rewriting the rules of aging and taking charge of our sensational second half - starting new careers, launching businesses, prioritizing health, and embracing adventure. The platform shares encouragement and creates connections among women who are embracing this transformative time with authenticity.
How would you say your style has evolved over the years?
My style has become more refined but also more relaxed. I know what works for me now and don't feel pressured to chase ever-changing trends. Quality over quantity has become my mantra.
What inspires your sense of style?
I'm inspired by women who embrace life’s opportunities with confidence and style at any age. And travel—experiencing different cultures always influences my perspective.
