The Sandwich Club

Susan Trodden and Tracey Olivier

The Sandwich Club is a podcast for women in the middle — the ones holding it all together while being pulled in every direction. Kids, ageing parents, work, money, relationships, changing bodies... and the quiet question of “is this it?” Hosted by two midlife women with different lives but a shared sense of humour, this is not a self-improvement podcast and it’s not a crisis either. It’s real conversations about the long middle — what’s shifting, what’s surprising, what’s quietly hard, and what’s unexpectedly freeing. There’s laughter, honesty, the occasional uncomfortable truth, and a lot of recognition. If you’ve ever felt stretched, slightly invisible, or wondering what comes next — you’re not alone. Welcome to The Sandwich Club.

    The Sandwich Club Ep 3 – This Is My Body Now

    Midlife bodies. No one prepares you. We talk about hair that relocates, eyesight that requires logistics, the rise of the Ahh Bra, full-size knickers, elastic waistbands and the quiet horror of the neck-gina. There’s humour, honesty, and a broader conversation about what it means when your body changes without asking permission. It’s not about fixing anything — just naming it. If your knees narrate your life and lettuce after 7pm is a risk, you’re not alone. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

    The Sandwich Club Ep 2 - Second Acts and Third Winds

    This week we’re talking about second acts, third winds, and that quiet sense that something needs to shift. Not dramatic reinvention — just the feeling that the life you worked hard to build might not be the one you want to stay in forever. We talk about ambition in midlife, the fear of starting again, and why change at this stage often looks smaller, slower and more complicated. If you’ve ever opened your laptop and thought “is this it?” — this one’s for you. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

    The Sandwich Club Ep 1 - What's this about?

    Welcome to The Sandwich Club — for women in the middle of everything. In this first episode, we talk about what it actually means to be “the filling” — holding kids, parents, work, relationships and life admin together, often all at once. Between the humour and the chaos, we share how this podcast came to be and why midlife doesn’t feel anything like we expected. If you’ve ever felt pulled in every direction while still somehow hard to get hold of, you’re in the right place.
