Everything is Fine is a series for women on life over 40. Hosted by former Lucky magazine founding editor Kim France and author and editor Jennifer Romolini, each episode digs deep into the identity shift that comes with navigating this alternately weird and liberating stage of life. A chat-show with themed episodes and interview guests from the media and entertainment worlds, we tackle our fears, our health, our careers, self-care, and how to negotiate being called “middle-aged” when you feel anything but.

Customer Reviews
What an absolute Gem
I recently found this podcast, and without a doubt, it is now my favorite! I have learned a lot from them about art, culture, and the world of beauty for older women. Kim and Jennifer’s musings will have you laughing out loud. Thanks for the tip on Nivea cream as I will be traveling to Germany soon and will be sure to pick up a tin! Thank you ladies!
Thank you
I’ve been meaning to write a review for over a year. Your podcast is the first one I chose to listen to each week. I always enjoy your honest conversation. I feel like I’m having brunch with girl friends. Thank you for making me smile each week.
Unexpectedly has become a favorite pod
I discovered this podcast through the cat marnell interview. I had no intention of becoming a listener. Especially being on the younger side of the target demographic.
Kim and Jen have totally won me over! They’re funny, smart, witty, and totally authentically themselves. Love their perspective on life and pretty much everything else. Thank you Kim and Jen for the podcast!
