Testosterone, Hormonal Rage & An ADHD Marriage Dilemma

This week on 40ish, Lauren discovers that Mah Jong, tea and cake might actually be peak midlife entertainment, while Nicole has an unexpected tantrum on the padel court. We hear from a listener who says finally being prescribed testosterone during menopause helped her feel like herself again, boosted her confidence, improved her libido and even made her like her husband again. We discuss testosterone for women, perimenopause, menopause symptoms and why hormones can have such a huge impact on how we feel. In Midlife News, we explore why so many women over 40 feel like they have nothing to wear. Is it really about clothes, or is it changing bodies, confidence, hormones and learning to dress the person we've become? Our listener dilemma sparks a lively conversation about ADHD in women, relationships and the mental load after one woman's husband comes home from a wedding convinced she has ADHD following a lengthy chat with his female best friend. Plus, Lauren's spectacular meltdown involves the dog throwing up a raw meat fountain onto the carpet, and we ask when exactly your neighbour's cat quietly becomes everyone else's responsibility. 40ish is the funny podcast for midlife women navigating menopause, perimenopause, hormones, relationships, confidence and everything else life throws at women over 40. Topics discussed:• Testosterone for women• Menopause and hormones• Perimenopause• Women's libido• ADHD in women• Midlife confidence• Body image after 40• Relationships and mental load• Women over 40• Menopause humour 💛 Follow us on Substack: The Midlife Club If you're enjoying 40ish, please follow, rate and review the podcast, and share it with a friend who'll laugh along with us.

Midlife Libido, Confidence & Getting Rated by Teenagers

This week on 40ish, Nicole brings a Hogman update direct from the gym and somehow ends up discussing the workout routine of a man called Brian, while Lauren takes her first steps into the world of Substack. We tackle a listener dilemma that every British woman will understand. What do you do when you notice someone's leggings are completely see-through at the gym? Say something and risk the embarrassment, or stay silent and hope someone else steps in? We also hear from a 45-year-old woman who was unexpectedly hurt after being "rated" by a group of teenage boys in a pub. It sparks a bigger conversation about confidence, ageing, body image and why external validation can still affect us in midlife, even when we know it shouldn't. In Midlife News, we discuss new research exploring women's libido, testosterone and sexual desire, and whether hormones are really the key to a healthy sex life. We unpack what the latest findings could mean for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and changing relationships. Meanwhile, a listener from Tennessee experiences every woman's worst nightmare when a missing handbag triggers a full-scale supermarket search involving staff, customers and rising panic, only for the bag to be discovered hanging from a friend's shoulder the entire time. 40ish is the funny podcast for midlife women navigating menopause, perimenopause, ageing, relationships, confidence and everything else life throws at women over 40. Topics discussed:• Women's libido and sexual desire• Testosterone and menopause• Perimenopause and hormones• Confidence in midlife• Body image and ageing• Women over 40• Self-esteem and validation• Gym anxiety• Midlife friendships• Menopause humour 🎟️ Buy tickets to our live show:https://podlifeevents.com/event-details/40ish-live-show-5-jul-2026-tickets Learn more about your ad choices.

Husband Tracking, Itchy Bottoms and The World Cup

On todays episode of 40ish: Nicole is losing her mind over losing absolutely everything she owns, while Lauren is deeply disturbed by the algorithm's insistence that she might be in the market for itchy anus remedies. We hear from a listener who has accidentally become a midlife music sensation, discuss why women in midlife are increasingly swapping big friendship groups for a handful of meaningful connections, and tackle a surprisingly divisive question: is tracking your husband's location perfectly normal... or just plain weird? Plus, a listener asks for help navigating the bewildering world of supplements for a neurodivergent perimenopausal brain, and Lauren and Nicole discover they share one deeply unfashionable opinion: complete and utter apathy towards the World Cup.Buy tickets to our Live Show on July 5th here: https://podlifeevents.com/event-details/40ish-live-show-5-jul-2026-ticketsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/40ish-laughing-our-way-through-midlife-perimenopause-menopause--6942825/support.We love to hear from you!

Family Feuds, Gym Friendships & Hangovers

Today on 40ish, Nicole has become friends with ‘Hogman’ - the weight-hogging man at the gym. The man everyone silently judges while waiting for the dumbbells is now part of her social circle. Protein shake dates can't be far away. Meanwhile, Lauren fails to make the connection between half a bottle of champagne and her hangover whilst maintaining a full-blown rant about Steven Bartlett's obsession with optimisation. Must we really maximise every waking moment of our lives? A listener shares a powerful story about how hearing Nicole talk openly about her perimenopause journey encouraged her to finally seek help from her GP. In Midlife News, we discuss new research showing that more than 80% of women experiencing menopause symptoms never seek medical help, despite the huge impact on their wellbeing and daily lives. Plus, one listener is facing a tricky family dilemma. Her husband has cut ties with his family after a painful fallout, but she misses them (their BBQ’s and heated pool) terribly. Should she continue supporting her husband's decision, or is it okay to maintain those relationships herself? Friendship, family feuds, menopause, meltdowns and midlife hangovers. Just another week in your 40s.We are doing a live show! July 5th 4pm London.

Driving Anxiety, Midlife News & A PCOS Update

This week on 40ish, Nicole finally concedes defeat as Lauren is crowned the people’s champion and the “who’s more down to earth?” debate is officially settled. Following a stranger’s meltdown in a nail salon, the ladies open up about how perimenopause completely knocked them sideways. In Midlife News, there’s a major update in women’s health as PCOS gets a new name, reflecting a growing understanding that it’s far more complex than many people have been led to believe. The dilemma comes from a listener whose driving anxiety has become so overwhelming that a two-hour journey feels like preparing for an Arctic expedition. And finally, a listener from Australia shares her frustration at the endless questions about childlessness after years of endometriosis, IVF and heartbreak. Expect laughs, honesty, motorway anxiety, menopause mayhem and at least one person silently judging foraged ingredients.We are doing a live show! July 5th 4pm London.

Midlife Problems: Pelvic Floors, Ex-Husbands & Dorothy Perkins

Today on 40ish: Nicole goes to the women’s physio and discovers that pelvic floor assessments are essentially the medical equivalent of rummaging around in a paper bag full of sweets. Dignity? Gone. Mystery? Also gone. Meanwhile, Lauren is absolutely thriving thanks to two things: a garden centre discount and her new boyfriend, Jeff. He’s golden, handsome, emotionally available, and a dog - which, frankly, makes him the ultimate man. We also hear from a listener who’s questioning whether ending her marriage was the right decision after watching her ex-husband thrive post divorce. Meanwhile she feels stuck,sad and overwhelmed. We talk honestly about loneliness, regret, comparison, and if “starting again” in midlife is less Eat Pray Love and more Admin Laundry Telly. Plus, one listener suffers a full-blown fashion identity crisis after attempting to reinvent herself but suffers an emotional return to Dorothy Perkins energy. There are meltdowns, laughs, uncomfortable truths, and the usual reminder that none of us know where to shop anymore, our pelvic floors are hanging on by a thread, and honestly? We’re all just trying our best.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/40ish-laughing-our-way-through-midlife-perimenopause-menopause--6942825/support.We love to hear from you!

Hot Doctors, Freelance Farts and the Anxious Vagina

On today's show: Nicole has an anxious vagina and is feeling mumsy on a Saturday night out, whilst Lauren is trying to play matchmaker in A&E with her friend and a hot Italian doctor. Because nothing says romance quite like fluorescent lighting and a triage wristband. In Midlife News we reveal that one in six women have considered leaving work because of menopause symptoms. Elsewhere, a listener asks whether any supplements actually help with peri symptoms after her GP informed her she’s “too young” - spoiler alert…she is not. There’s also an update on foster dog Jeff - (and it’s not good news) and a New Zealand Quasser who reports that peri-menopause has gifted her spontaneous public farting with absolutely no warning whatsoever. Office, supermarket, gym - her arse is now essentially working freelance. If you enjoy the episode, please share it with a friend who also suspects peri-menopause is basically your body leaving a one-star review of itself.Come see us hosting in the Menopause tent at the Everywoman Festival on June 13th https://www.everywomanfest.com/tickets-londonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/40ish-laughing-our-way-through-midlife-perimenopause-menopause--6942825/support.We love to hear from you!
