    The Mid Life Dating Pool Has Wee In It

    The Mid Life Dating Pool Has Wee In It

    Grown-up dating is a bit like the middle aisle at Aldi - full of surprises, a few hidden gems and a whole lot of sh*t you don't need.

    Generation X are getting around the apps and although they didn't exist when we were young, we're fast learners, resilient as hell and our bullshit detectors are unparalleled. So, what could possibly go wrong?

    Cathrine Mahoney knows. She's been post-divorce dating for almost a decade and has the stories to match. Like the time the man she'd been walking past at the park for months finally matched with her on Bumble, the time the guy asked if he could bring his "bull", and what happened when she slid into celebrity dating app Raya and everyone was famous.

    If you're dating, thinking about dating or just keen to peer into the world of your single friends...

    Welcome to MID, Episode 2: Dating.

    Don't Call It A Breakdown

    Don't Call It A Breakdown

    Julie Goodwin has had an extraordinary ordinary life. And in the last few years, she has had an extraordinary ordinary wrestle with her mental health.

    While you were buying Julie's cookbooks, watching her two stints on Masterchef and listening to her on the radio, she was taking care of everyone but herself (sound familiar?) and some issues she thought she'd successfully shoved in a low drawer spilled out and began to take over.

    In this first conversation for Mid, host Holly Wainwright talks to Julie about the winding road back from a "breakdown" and what happens when you stop doing everything for everyone all at once.

    Welcome to Mid, Episode 1: Mental Health.

    If this episode brings up anything for you Lifeline is always there on 13 11 14.

Midlife zombies ahead

Wow I came across this by accident and it was one of the most refreshing conversations Ive heard for a long time. Brilliant idea- help us find our mid life zombies that have been lying in a heap wrung out by the rigors of ‘having it all’. Beautifully real talk that says things out loud that makes us feel normal , helps us make sense of what we’ve done or doing. I think it’s giving us the keys of midlife- own it and drive it fast round the bends!
