Gen X-ers Jill Smokler (Founder of Scary Mommy) and Jenny Isenman (National lifestyle expert) face the stark realities of adulthood – being 40+ and single, raising older kids, tackling career changes, managing evolving relationships and figuring out what the hell we're doing and what we want to do with the rest of our lives... all while attempting to stay (moderately) sane. Possible? We shall see.
Wish us luck, and join us weekly – if for no other reason than to feel better about yourself.
Welcome to Generation-EX!

The Dating Disaster that was 2020, 70's Beard vs. 70's Bush... and MORE
2020 sure was an interesting year to launch a podcast about dating after 40! Since neither one of us has actually gone on a single date this whole year, our final podcast of 2020 devolves into topics such as fair trends (both facial and pubic) and the possibility of once again dating in 2021.
Thanks for listening and see you next year!

The Podcast I Wish I Knew About…
…as soon as I got divorced!
Entering the dating scene at 39, after a 15 year relationship, very much feels like being the new kid at school, in a different country, on a different planet. Had I heard this podcast at the start of it, I would have saved myself a lot of time!
Jill and Jenny don’t hold back from divulging their experiences and are able to pull it off in a fashion that leaves the listener laughing AND informed. Both men and women alike could learn something from this show and I do hope there are more on the way!
New to dating? - this is a must listen
Jenny & Jill will turn your dating tears and fears into laughter and open your eyes to a thing or two.
Witty and clever
Not for the light of heart, but then again, neither is post-divorce second life.
