HRT at the Pool, Menopause Questions & The Holiday Food Shop Fail

This week on 40ish, Lauren is feeling self conscious about rocking up to the pool with her HRT patch fully on display and Nicole has zero empathy. She’s too busy wondering what happens post-menopause. Who are you when you arrive? Do you get a badge? A certificate? A lie down? Anyone? Meanwhile; A listener has spent good money on a thoughtful, meaningful 40th birthday gift for her sister only to discover she has quietly flogged it. Rude? Practical or deeply offensive? This week’s meltdown is a masterclass in idiocy. Imagine smugly organising a full online food shop for your holiday only to discover you sent it to the wrong house. Somewhere in the UK, a very confused family is enjoying a fully stocked fridge, while you’re stranded with nine hangry people. Honestly, we need a moment for this.

Overpacking for Holidays, Menopause Drama & a Tricky Parenting Dilemma

This week on 40ish, we’re discussing one of the most delusional acts of midlife optimism: packing holiday clothes for a version of yourself that absolutely does not exist. Does adulting mean that we have finally worked out that we just need the same two outfits on rotation and flat shoes? We’re also deep in a very important debate: what are we actually calling you lot? Fabbers (40 and fabulous, obviously) or Middlers Strong opinions welcome. Also, shoutout to the listener who is spreading the peace sign in traffic. In other feedback; One listener slid in with some strong opinions on our menopause chat. We’re not here to whisper politely. We’re loud, honest, occasionally unhinged, and very much ourselves. It won’t be for everyone and we’re oddly fine with that. Meanwhile, a mum is worried about her daughter’s weight gain. Do you say something or keep quiet and avoid knocking her confidence? It’s a tricky one. If you’re loving 40ish, share it with a friend ( ideally one who’s also packed five outfits but worn the same jumper for three days straight) Get in touch!

Is It Hormones or Annoyance? WFH Washing Up Wars & Easter Egg Drama

This week on 40ish, Lauren has to calculate exactly what a wee is worth and if a parking ticket is better or worse than wetting yourself. Nicol is debating whether she’s hormonally annoyed or just genuinely irritated… and whether there’s even a difference. Meanwhile we tackle a very relatable midlife dilemma about working from home, washing up wars, and the silent rage that builds when one partner washes only their own dishes and leaves the rest stacked like a passive-aggressive art installation. Plus, listener meltdowns include: the outrageous price of Easter eggs (and “bouji inclusions” that apparently cost extra now) and a full-scale marital chocolate war, featuring hidden Easter eggs, strategic quinoa placement, and a partner with the tracking ability of a trained Cadbury sniffer dogIf you enjoy honest chats about midlife relationships, marriage dilemmas, hormones, family life, and the ridiculous realities of being 40ish, this episode will feel painfully familiar.

Am I Becoming a Hermit? Too Many Jeans and Social Burnout.

This week on 40ish Lauren reveals the unreasonable number of jeans she owns - it’s essentially a denim museum at this point and Nicole is nostalgic about being grounded and realising she’s somehow become the parent she used to dramatically roll her eyes at. This week’s dilemma hits hard: Do you actually want to go out, or are you just going because society says you should leave the house occasionally? A listener questions the fine line between protecting her peace and slowly evolving into a happy little hermit. Plus, listener meltdowns include a yoga class invader with no concept of personal space, Lauren’s dead tree and Nicole’s emotional trauma with Lauren’s kitchen calendar. If you love this episode, share it with a friend who also secretly hopes plans get cancelled and owns too many jeans.Get in touch!

Waving Goodbye, Hotmail Shame & the £100 Bottle of Wine

In todays show: Lauren is sporting something brand new on her bum cheek and can’t wait to show Nicole - who is somewhat miffed at the pulling down of the pants live in the studio. We dive into the surprisingly emotional world of waving goodbye and tackle a very important midlife question: does having a Hotmail email address officially make you old, or should we all proudly keep our vintage inboxes and stop apologising for it? This week’s dilemma comes from a hairdresser whose client called for a 90-minute emotional chat and wonders whether the boundary between client and friend has been crossed? Plus, there’s a full meltdown involving throwing up and a listener rant that turns into a full relationship red flag discussion after she takes a new boyfriend out for his birthday and ends up paying for a £100 bottle of wine she didn’t even drink. Expect strong opinions, relatable annoyances and a bit of moral support for anyone navigating tricky boundaries. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend with a hotmail address who waves you off at the door. Get in touch!

Peace Signs, Petty Parking & Protecting Your Energy

Today on 40ish: Nicole has officially had enough of the algorithm, and Lauren is launching a bold new driving movement: replacing the universal thank-you hand with a casual two-finger peace-out gesture. Will it catch on? Only time will tell. We dive into a listener dilemma about friendships in midlife. She used to be the organiser and emotional support system for everyone. Now the energy to keep friendships running just isn’t there. Is this burnout from years of carrying the load, a normal midlife shift towards protecting your energy, or the slow drift into becoming a bad friend? We talk about balance, boundaries, and what showing up for people really looks like in your 40s. Plus, midlife meltdowns are in full swing as a listener has a full internal breakdown in a supermarket car park after being silently pressured by a woman waiting for her parking space resulting in an act of slow-motion petty resistance that honestly deserves a medal. Friendship burnout, car park standoffs, failing eyesight, rogue algorithms, and a potential driving hand-gesture revolution. It’s just another calm and normal week in midlife.

Fibre, Friendship Fallouts & Where Are We With Facebook?

This week on 40ish, Nicole reports from the glamorous world of post-surgery recovery where the main event of the day is… taking painkillers. Timing them, thinking about them, planning the next one. Meanwhile, Lauren has a mysterious foot situation developing. There is very validating listener feedback about the extremely serious issue of designated mugs. We also tackle this week’s dilemma where a woman is left wondering if some friendships can recover after youve been seriously let down. Plus we share some midlife meltdowns, including an existential crisis in the cereal aisle and a listener asking the question many of us are secretly thinking: what exactly is the point of Facebook now? Expect rants, honesty and the comforting reminder that midlife is mostly just trying to take the right painkiller at the right time while drinking out of the correct mug.

Saturday Night Spin Cycles & Celebrity Crushes

Today on 40ish: It may be Nicole’s most rock n’ roll Saturday night ever as she treats herself to “putting on a small washing load” and Lauren has bought a ticket to an antiques fair. Wild. Reckless. Who even are we anymore? We’ve got some lovely listener feedback (including a genuinely helpful iron supplement tip, who knew we’d become this demographic), before diving into a dilemma that is equal parts hilarious and slightly unhinged: what do you do when your husband develops a deep and ongoing appreciation for Emma Willis? In other news a listener shares the heartbreak of discontinued lipstick and perfume. If you’re enjoying the episode, share it with a friend who also thinks a quiet wash cycle is now a legitimate weekend plan. Get in touch!

Oatbran, Botox and Trying On Knickers

Today on 40ish: Lauren buys oat bran.She doesn’t know why. She doesn’t know how to use it. She just knows she should. Nicole, newly Botoxed and feeling refreshed, takes great pleasure in mocking the oat-bran era… before promptly opening her Ocado app to add some to her own basket. It’s fibre fabulous! We also hear from a listener who unleashes menopausal rage at her kids’ headteacher during a Duke of Edinburgh presentation (honestly, that alone would test anyone’s sanity), and another who asks the truly important midlife question: Is it disgusting to try on knickers in a changing room? Expect judgement, solidarity and the comforting reminder that none of us are alone - even when we’re standing on the pavement holding an empty M&S basket. Learn more about your ad choices.

Birthdays, Bums and Brownies

Today on 40ish: it's Nicole's birthday. Both Lauren and her padel friends have baked for her although Nicole has to quite literally ‘spell it out’. Lauren shares her latest Amazon purchase - anal gland chews for smelly rear ends (they're for the dog - relax!) and graphically overshares her experience trying on SKIMS. Meanwhile, a listener writes in to ask if she's being unreasonable to be annoyed with her husband sexting her whilst he is away for two weeks and she is left holding the fort at home. Finally, a gym Karen unleashes a rant about girls who scroll Insta whilst strolling slowly as a sloth on the treadmills. Get in touch!
