Talk Shit and Laugh

Sarah Walton & Michele Wang

We're Sarah Walton and Michele Wang, two 50-something women who've been friends for over 25 years—and all we really want to do is talk some sh*t and laugh our asses off. Not everything has to be "a breakthrough" or "next-level" or "the 5-step path to becoming your best self." We promise you: no important lessons will be taught and no deep dives will be taken. We're officially overwhelmed and drowning with all the self-help, get-better information out there and frankly we're at full capacity. We just want to hang out and we want nothing more than for you to join us. So welcome to Talk Shit and Laugh (TSAL)—a weekly podcast for women, where two lifelong friends, talk about all the random sh*t rolling around in their heads. We're tired of pretending we're fine, sick of fixing ourselves, and deeply craving something real. We promise: No important lessons will be taught No gratuitous self-help Just wildly honest conversations about the things keeping us up at night... or making us snort-laugh. We talk friendship, aging, health, relationships, reinvention, midlife identity crises (plural), and the deeply underrated power of laughing your damn face off—even when the topics are heavy. We won't always know what we're talking about next. But that's kind of the magic. It's real, it's heartfelt, and it's unfiltered—like the group chat you actually want to be in. Whether you're cooking, commuting, or hiding in your bathroom (or pantry) for a few minutes of peace—TSAL is here to remind you that you're not alone—and you're definitely not done. Subscribe now, pour yourself something fabulous, and join this community to talk sh*t and laugh. Welcome. We're so freaking glad you're here.

    We're Not Doing Resolutions (Here's What We're Doing Instead)

    New year, new… ugh, no. In this episode, Sarah and Michele get honest about why we're skipping the resolutions this year—and what we're doing instead to create real change (without the pressure, guilt, or glitter-covered goals list). We talk about: Time feels like it's moving too fast—and how we're slowing ourselves down The problem with "new year, new me" energy (spoiler: you're probably already doing more than you realize) How Michele quit smoking—like, OMG - so Michele What Sarah is approaching differently in her love life, and how small shifts are already changing how she feels And remember - we will teach you nothing. LOL This is how we approach the New Year, and we'd love to hear more about how you ring in the New Year! Are goals stupid? Are they the best thing ever? We don't know! Tell us!

    Us… But In Another Universe

    Which One of Us Is the FBI Profiler? Wait for it… In this week's episode, we leave this timeline on read and hop on over to the multiverse—where infinite versions of us are living totally different (and sometimes wildly better?) lives. We ask the important questions: Would Michele be a no-nonsense FBI profiler... or just someone who knows too much? Would Sarah have become a stand-up comic touring the world with emotionally devastating punchlines? Is Michele secretly a super chill mom in another dimension (no minivan, minimal PTA involvement)? Could Sarah be the CEO of a mega-business empire that runs on iced coffee, intuition, and hard boundaries? Listen if you've ever wondered who you'd be if you'd made just one different choice… or if you're 92% sure you're meant to be living near water with a mysterious past. New episodes every Sunday Tell us who you are in another universe! Tag @talkshitandlaugh and share your wildcard multiverse alter ego (crystals? crime-solving? cottagecore chaos? We want it.)

    Bingeing & Breaking Down Our Favorites

    This week, we're talking about the TV shows that stole our hearts, broke our brains, and how much we loathe streaming bills. It's all about the shows we love and why we're subscribed to 97 things - except for Michele. She hates subscriptions. Think: Deep obsession with all things alien related (but only if the humans are in peril) Chills (and possible nightmares?) about The Fall of the House of Usher Softcore nostalgia for Little House on the Prairie Aggressive rejection (Sarah) and keep love (Michele) of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives We've got hot takes, comfort picks, and strong feelings about the fact that we're now subscribed to six streaming services just to rewatch one thing in fuzzy socks. Justice for our wallets. PLUS: We want to hear your faves too—send us your underrated gems, old favorites, and shows you'd rewatch annually like it's a holiday. Listen if: You love a strong TV opinion, secretly cried at the Lasso finale, and have no idea how to cancel Apple TV. New episodes every Sunday DM us your rides-or-die shows @talkshitandlaugh—no judgment (unless it's Mormon Wives).

    Why Are We Like This? The Embarrassing Episode (We Might Regret This)

    Ever look at your own life and think: Why am I like this? Same. In this episode, Sarah and Michele go fully off the rails in the best way—comparing daily habits, weird quirks, and questionable routines that somehow… still make sense? Sarah doesn't wash her face—new habits needed! Michele has a multi-step PM skincare lineup and lives for it We talk about how we both sleep, eat, unwind, and notice all the small things we don't realize are… weird What kind of dogs we are? And we ask the big question: do we actually want to change, or are we just delightfully broken in cute ways? Spoiler: this episode is not about fixing yourself. It's about loving the version of you who texts from the toilet and loads the dishwasher "wrong" every night.   Listen if you need a laugh, a little self-acceptance, and permission to stop pretending you're doing it all right.

    The Wrong Assumptions About Us!

    Spoiler alert: People are usually wrong. This week, we're unpacking the assumptions people make about us—and how often they're way off. Is Michele a total extrovert… or just really good at pretending she doesn't want to go home early? Does Sarah need the spotlight 24/7… or does she actually just love a solo nap and not talking to anyone ever? Have we always been confident… or is it just that we stopped explaining ourselves? In this episode, we reveal: The weirdest, most hilarious assumptions people make about us How personality isn't always what it looks like on the outside Why we each misunderstood the other at first! The difference between being perceived and being understood This one's funny, honest, and sneakily deep—because sometimes the most freeing thing is saying: "This is who I really am. Take it or leave it."
