    Fish Photos & Flops: The Brutal Comedy of Dating at 40

    Host Mae candidly chronicles the messy, hilarious, and healing journey of starting over at 40 — from baffling dating-app encounters and late-night shredded-cheese dinners to the relentless demands of parenting, work, and laundry. She explores how trauma and life experience change dating priorities, why peace and consistency become more valuable than fireworks, and how finding yourself can feel like freedom rather than failure. Ultimately, the episode celebrates emotional boundaries, self-care, and the surprising joy of choosing peace — even if that peace comes with snacks, cozy blankets, and an emotional support cat.

    Freedom looks good on me

    After a long, exhausting divorce from an abusive partner, I finally found peace and freedom. I'm a single mom rebuilding my life—going back to school, starting a business, and learning to protect my peace with firm boundaries. Being alone has become my healthiest relationship: I have my space, control, and self-respect. I'm tired from the work of healing, but I'm stronger, grounded, and no longer willing to tolerate nonsense.

    Introduction

    Welcome to "40 and tired," where the delightful chaos of life meets the realities of  40! I'm your host, a mother of three amazing boysan adult son and two teenagers—who keep my life feeling like a live reality show entitled “40 and tired.” One moment, I’m the mom who makes the best macaroni and cheese, and the next, I’m the “Walking Embarrassment” of the house, trying to keep up with trends that leave me feeling more like a dad at a wedding than a cool mom. In this podcast, I invite you to join me as I share my journey through the ups and downs of motherhood, the challenges of escaping a 17-year abusive marriage to a covert narcissist, and the hilarity that ensues as I venture into the world of dating apps and new hobbies. Expect a mix of heartfelt stories, candid discussions about the silent struggles of narcissistic abuse, and plenty of laughs as I navigate this mess called life. Whether you’re a fellow mom seeking solidarity, someone looking for inspiration, or just in need of a good laugh, this is your safe space. Let’s embrace the chaos together, share our stories, and find joy in the journey because if we don’t laugh, we might just start crying!
