]]> 40ish hello@40ish.co.uk Testosterone, Hormonal Rage & An ADHD Marriage Dilemma This week on 40ish, Lauren discovers that Mah Jong, tea and cake might actually be peak midlife entertainment, while Nicole has an unexpected tantrum on the padel court. We hear from a listener who says finally being prescribed testosterone during menopause helped her feel like herself again, boosted her confidence, improved her libido and even made her like her husband again. We discuss testosterone for women, perimenopause, menopause symptoms and why hormones can have such a huge impact on how we feel. In Midlife News, we explore why so many women over 40 feel like they have nothing to wear. Is it really about clothes, or is it changing bodies, confidence, hormones and learning to dress the person we've become? Our listener dilemma sparks a lively conversation about ADHD in women, relationships and the mental load after one woman's husband comes home from a wedding convinced she has ADHD following a lengthy chat with his female best friend. Plus, Lauren's spectacular meltdown involves the dog throwing up a raw meat fountain onto the carpet, and we ask when exactly your neighbour's cat quietly becomes everyone else's responsibility. 40ish is the funny podcast for midlife women navigating menopause, perimenopause, hormones, relationships, confidence and everything else life throws at women over 40.

Lauren is not helping. We also get into your feedback on whether it’s normal or deeply unhinged to track your husband’s location. Opinions are strong and polarising but our favourite is from a husband who says he’s usually in the loo. In Midlife News, we discuss a new study suggesting poor sleep in midlife can have long-term effects on women’s wellbeing. So basically, yes, your snoring husband may be a legitimate health risk. This week’s dilemma comes from a 47-year-old listener who feels drained, disconnected and completely unlike herself. She asks if she’s alone - answer - no way!

]]> 2385 Midlife Libido, Confidence & Getting Rated by Teenagers This week on 40ish, Nicole brings a Hogman update direct from the gym and somehow ends up discussing the workout routine of a man called Brian, while Lauren takes her first steps into the world of Substack. We tackle a listener dilemma that every British woman will understand. What do you do when you notice someone's leggings are completely see-through at the gym? Say something and risk the embarrassment, or stay silent and hope someone else steps in? We also hear from a 45-year-old woman who was unexpectedly hurt after being "rated" by a group of teenage boys in a pub. It sparks a bigger conversation about confidence, ageing, body image and why external validation can still affect us in midlife, even when we know it shouldn't. In Midlife News, we discuss new research exploring women's libido, testosterone and sexual desire, and whether hormones are really the key to a healthy sex life. We unpack what the latest findings could mean for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and changing relationships. Meanwhile, a listener from Tennessee experiences every woman's worst nightmare when a missing handbag triggers a full-scale supermarket search involving staff, customers and rising panic, only for the bag to be discovered hanging from a friend's shoulder the entire time. 40ish is the funny podcast for midlife women navigating menopause, perimenopause, ageing, relationships, confidence and everything else life throws at women over 40.

The man everyone silently judges while waiting for the dumbbells is now part of her social circle. Protein shake dates can't be far away. Meanwhile, Lauren fails to make the connection between half a bottle of champagne and her hangover whilst maintaining a full-blown rant about Steven Bartlett's obsession with optimisation. Must we really maximise every waking moment of our lives? A listener shares a powerful story about how hearing Nicole talk openly about her perimenopause journey encouraged her to finally seek help from her GP. In Midlife News, we discuss new research showing that more than 80% of women experiencing menopause symptoms never seek medical help, despite the huge impact on their wellbeing and daily lives. Plus, one listener is facing a tricky family dilemma. Her husband has cut ties with his family after a painful fallout, but she misses them (their BBQ’s and heated pool) terribly. Should she continue supporting her husband's decision, or is it okay to maintain those relationships herself? Friendship, family feuds, menopause, meltdowns and midlife hangovers.

Following a stranger’s meltdown in a nail salon, the ladies open up about how perimenopause completely knocked them sideways. In Midlife News, there’s a major update in women’s health as PCOS gets a new name, reflecting a growing understanding that it’s far more complex than many people have been led to believe. The dilemma comes from a listener whose driving anxiety has become so overwhelming that a two-hour journey feels like preparing for an Arctic expedition. And finally, a listener from Australia shares her frustration at the endless questions about childlessness after years of endometriosis, IVF and heartbreak.

Meanwhile, the podcast accidentally turns into an amateur gynecology clinic as the ladies attempt to investigate whether itchy pubes are actually a perimenopause symptom and confront the genuinely horrifying concept of vulval shrinkage during menopause. Because apparently nobody warned us that midlife would involve googling sentences like “can your fanny evaporate?” We also tackle this week’s dilemma from a listener whose close friend  and hairdresser cut her off after she politely explained she needed a cheaper salon. Was sending the message over text really that unforgivable? Or is this exactly why mixing friendship and business is a bad idea? Plus, one listener shares an infuriating meltdown after finally building up the courage to visit her GP, only to leave feeling dismissed, emotional and like she’d somehow wasted everyone’s time.

Huge congratulations to Sienna Miller who has welcomed her third child. We discuss her comments about not caring what anyone thinks anymore, and why society still acts like women over 40 getting pregnant is breaking news while men are out here having babies during their free bus pass years. The listener's dilemma is from a woman whose husband started “getting into running” and may now be training for an emotional marathon with a divorced woman from the school gates. Evening jogs have turned into post-run Diet Cokes by the beach and suddenly our listener is spiralling. Is she overthinking? Is he being shady? We unpack trust and intuition. Plus, the midlife meltdowns return featuring a broken dryer and the reappearance of the tarty shoes. Yes, those shoes.

In Midlife News we reveal that one in six women have considered leaving work because of menopause symptoms.

We were completely overwhelmed by your response to our conversation about friendship breakups and apparently being quietly phased out of a women’s friendship group in your 40s is basically the adult version of being picked last in PE, except now there are secret WhatsApp groups, girls’ trips to Thailand and emotionally devastating photos appearing on Instagram without you. Some of these listener stories are genuinely brutal. Plus, one listener's dilemma absolutely breaks our hearts. After years of carrying the mental load for her family; the cooking, cleaning, shopping, birthday planning, emotional labour and working full-time her birthday arrives with barely any acknowledgement. We talk about the quiet loneliness of feeling invisible in midlife, the resentment that builds when everyone takes you for granted, and why so many women end up feeling completely emotionally exhausted.

If you’re enjoying the show, please share it with a friend who needs a laugh, a cry, or simply reassurance that other women are also lying awake at 3am replaying a text from 2017.

Dignity? Gone. Mystery? Also gone. Meanwhile, Lauren is absolutely thriving thanks to two things: a garden centre discount and her new boyfriend, Jeff. He’s golden, handsome, emotionally available, and a dog - which, frankly, makes him the ultimate man. We also hear from a listener who’s questioning whether ending her marriage was the right decision after watching her ex-husband thrive post divorce. Meanwhile she feels stuck,sad and overwhelmed. We talk honestly about loneliness, regret, comparison, and if “starting again” in midlife is less Eat Pray Love and more Admin Laundry Telly. Plus, one listener suffers a full-blown fashion identity crisis after attempting to reinvent herself but suffers an emotional return to Dorothy Perkins energy. There are meltdowns, laughs, uncomfortable truths, and the usual reminder that none of us know where to shop anymore, our pelvic floors are hanging on by a thread, and honestly?

Meanwhile Nicole realises that you know when you’re spending too much time with your gyne when he feels fully comfortable eating crisps off your plate. In midlife news it turns out almost half of middle-aged Brits are still traumatised by school PE - not surprising if you remember being asked to climb that rope in a pair of big navy pants. We hear from listeners navigating menopause in toxic workplaces, sharing the very real fear of education being weaponised, but also why the conversation still has to happen. Today’s dilemma asks: Is it actually possible to lose weight in your 40s? Despite doing “all the right things” (gym, PT, food), social media is screaming that unless you buy a miracle pill, it’s game over.

It  kicks off with what may genuinely be the world’s worst lunch and ends as she rolls out of a hospital bed and attends a sip & paint evening (weird as she neither sips nor paints). The 40ish feedback on menopause education has been overwhelming and you are coming in all guns blazing. From rallying cries about women’s health and the absolute state of menopause support in the UK, to rightful rage about medical misogyny. This is the group chat energy we are here for! Today’s dilemma is a brutal one: being quietly dumped by your friendship group in your 40s. We unpack the rise of midlife “mean girls,” the paranoia of “is it me?,” and whether you should go full detective for closure or just block, delete, and emotionally relocate. Plus, we discuss the “7 year shed” Is it true we replace half our friends every 7 years? Because honestly, that explains a LOT. We have also been trolled and Lauren has plenty to say about it.

Does adulting mean that we have finally worked out that we just need the same two outfits on rotation and flat shoes? We’re also deep in a very important debate: what are we actually calling you lot? Fabbers (40 and fabulous, obviously) or Middlers Strong opinions welcome. Also, shoutout to the listener who is spreading the peace sign in traffic.

Does adulting mean that we have finally worked out that we just need the same two outfits on rotation and flat shoes? We’re also deep in a very important debate: what are we actually calling you lot?

We dive into the surprisingly emotional world of waving goodbye and tackle a very important midlife question: does having a Hotmail email address officially make you old, or should we all proudly keep our vintage inboxes and stop apologising for it? This week’s dilemma comes from a hairdresser whose client called for a 90-minute emotional chat and wonders whether the boundary between client and friend has been crossed? Plus, there’s a full meltdown involving throwing up and a listener rant that turns into a full relationship red flag discussion after she takes a new boyfriend out for his birthday and ends up paying for a £100 bottle of wine she didn’t even drink. Expect strong opinions, relatable annoyances and a bit of moral support for anyone navigating tricky boundaries.

Will it catch on? Only time will tell. We dive into a listener dilemma about friendships in midlife. She used to be the organiser and emotional support system for everyone. Now the energy to keep friendships running just isn’t there. Is this burnout from years of carrying the load, a normal midlife shift towards protecting your energy, or the slow drift into becoming a bad friend? We talk about balance, boundaries, and what showing up for people really looks like in your 40s. Plus, midlife meltdowns are in full swing as a listener has a full internal breakdown in a supermarket car park after being silently pressured by a woman waiting for her parking space  resulting in an act of slow-motion petty resistance that honestly deserves a medal. Friendship burnout, car park standoffs, failing eyesight, rogue algorithms, and a potential driving hand-gesture revolution. It’s  just another calm and normal week in midlife.

Today on 40ish: It may be Nicole’s most rock n’ roll Saturday night ever as she treats herself to “putting on a small washing load” and Lauren has bought a ticket to an antiques fair. Wild. Reckless. Who even are we anymore? We’ve got some lovely listener feedback (including a genuinely helpful iron supplement tip, who knew we’d become this demographic), before diving into a dilemma that is equal parts hilarious and slightly unhinged: what do you do when your husband develops a deep and ongoing appreciation for Emma Willis? In other news a listener shares the heartbreak of discontinued lipstick and perfume. If you’re enjoying the episode, share it with a friend who also thinks a quiet wash cycle is now a legitimate weekend plan. Get in touch!

Timing them, thinking about them, planning the next one. Meanwhile, Lauren has a mysterious foot situation developing. There is very validating listener feedback about the extremely serious issue of designated mugs.

Plus we share some midlife meltdowns, including an existential crisis in the cereal aisle and a listener asking the question many of us are secretly thinking: what exactly is the point of Facebook now?

The Pesto Revelation & Nicole’s Replacement https://www.spreaker.com/episode/thumbs-up-the-pesto-revelation-nicole-s-replacement--71164753 Today on 40ish, Nicole is facing every podcaster’s worst nightmare: being replaced. (Temporarily, while she recovers from her op - but still.) Enter James - Brave. Unprepared. About to be exposed to levels of menopause and nunny chat that no man could ever train for. Will he survive? Will he make eye contact again? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, Lauren has had a life-altering revelation about pesto that has raised serious questions about her past, her judgement, and possibly her entire personality.

Today on 40ish, Nicole is facing every podcaster’s worst nightmare: being replaced. (Temporarily, while she recovers from her op - but still.) Enter James - Brave. Unprepared. About to be exposed to levels of menopause and nunny chat that no man could ever train for. Will he survive? Will he make eye contact again? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, Lauren has had a life-altering revelation about pesto that has raised serious questions about her past, her judgement, and possibly her entire personality.

Meanwhile, a listener writes in to ask if she's being unreasonable to be annoyed with her husband sexting her whilst he is away for two weeks and she is left holding the fort at home.

]]> 2300 no FOMO, HRT & Bin Bag Rage https://www.spreaker.com/episode/fomo-hrt-bin-bag-rage--71164737 Today on 40ish: Nicole is just one more day away from her HRT implant and her husband is bravely counting down the hours until he can exist, speak, or inhale oxygen without being informed he’s irritating. (Stay strong, Adam). Meanwhile, Lauren and her husband enjoy the most middle-aged date imaginable: a couples health scan. Meanwhile, a listener writes in with her dilemma: She desperately wants to go nowhere and do absolutely nothing, yet is deeply offended when she’s not invited. It’s advanced-level FOMO that only midlife can deliver. And then, naturally, we arrive at bin bag rage. Because bin bags have one job. Splitting open on the clean kitchen floor is just rage baiting in all it’s glory.  Email hello@40ish.co.uk Instagram https://www.instagram.com/40ish.podcast  TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@40ish.podcast Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/share/DVQWb6y2vesgeHEK/?mibextid=LQQJ4d  To order our book HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?” click here  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Have-You-Tried-This-Only/dp/1801293139/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1O7EA4ZF1O5CS&keywords=have+you+tried+this&qid=1699449028&sprefix=have+you+tried+%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-2 This episode is sponsored by London Nootropics Get 20% off at LondonNootropics.com with the code 40ISH Learn more about your ad choices.

Rude. Confusing (Isn’t that a car park?) We unpack the insult, and whether footwear is now a personality flaw. Meanwhile, the brain fog is fogging as Nicole misplaces her keys and eventually finds them in the last place any sane person would look. And in dilemma territory, things take a deeply uncomfortable turn when a listener realises her doctor is a man she once dated…and he’s about to look at her bum.

A listener writes in with a bad taste in her mouth (spoiler alert: it’s her mother in laws disgusting cakes) And finally, a listener meltdown involving a first day at a new job, peri-menopausal surprise bleeding, navy trousers doing God’s work, and asking a woman half your age for a tampon.

Nicole is spiralling over the fact that she appears to be growing eyebrows… above her eyebrows (a festive miracle nobody asked for). Speaking of bushy, Lauren is locked in an existential crisis about the girth of her Christmas tree, which is apparently so wide it should come with its own postcode.

Today on 40ish: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and what says xmas better than a heated debate about architraves? Nicole is spiralling over the fact that she appears to be growing eyebrows… above her eyebrows (a festive miracle nobody asked for). Speaking of bushy, Lauren is locked in an existential crisis about the girth of her Christmas tree, which is apparently so wide it should come with its own postcode.

]]> 2548 no Falling, Fibbing and Airing the Fanny https://www.spreaker.com/episode/falling-fibbing-and-airing-the-fanny--71164740 This week on 40ish. Things are looking up for Lauren in the laundry room, but the moment she steps outside? Down she goes. Did she fall over… or, at our age, has she officially “had a fall”? Nicole has a jolly trip to Costco (pick n’ mix for adults with no self control) and makes a shocking confession involving lying to Lauren. Could it be the end of a beautiful friendship? (Spoiler: probably not, but we milk the drama like pros.) Prosopagnosia makes another bewildering appearance raises its head again, one listener is sharing her HRT with her dog - yes, really. And we tackle the big questions bothering you this week - knickers under pyjamas yay or nay? Grab a cuppa, settle in, and prepare for midlife mayhem in all its weird, relatable, delightful glory.

]]> 2755 no Cosy, Cranky and Passive aggressive punctuation https://www.spreaker.com/episode/cosy-cranky-and-passive-aggressive-punctuation--71164794 Today on 40ish: Nicole publicly outs Lauren’s escalating email rudeness. Is this the moment we finally admit that yes, midlife has arrived -and apparently it’s brought passive-aggressive punctuation with it. Meanwhile, the pair discover that nothing makes them happier these days than being gifted… extra virgin olive oil. Not gin. Not wine. Olive oil. Nicole, for her part, is living her absolute peak existence on the sofa under a blanket with a hot water bottle like a Victorian invalid who just discovered Netflix. Plus! A listener writes in with some strong merch ideas: Housecoats and a 40ish recipe book, featuring the only things midlife people actually bother cooking anymore: rhubarb compote and air-fryer-everything. Honestly? It might be a bestselling product.  It’s cozy. It’s cranky. It’s deeply midlife.  We love to hear from you!

Lauren then casually drops into conversation that she’s met national treasure Clare Balding (as you do) while attending a Christmas exhibition so deeply middle-aged it may as well have handed out free orthopaedic insoles at the door. Meanwhile, in listener-land: One rider writes in about a stolen kiss at her local stables and another wants to know whether being disproportionately thrilled by discovering a new granola is a sign she’s entered the 40ish dimension.

Lauren suffers a Vinted fail while Nicole debates whether she’s officially lost the plot after lusting over a Supergirl-style caped top. The great loafer debate of 2024 has returned from the dead. Lauren’s bought a pair, and Nicole is strictly forbidden to comment (good luck with that). Meanwhile, a listener writes in full of Halloween regret: her Morticia Addams costume was a hit… until she realised she was the only one dressed up at the office Halloween party. Now she’s convinced she looked like a middle-aged tart — her words, not ours. It’s fashion faux pas, spooky shame, and a caped crusade through the chaos of midlife. We love to hear from you!

Meanwhile, Lauren is incandescent with rage over a dog in a velour tracksuit. (No, really. A DOG. IN VELOUR. Let that sink in.) And if that weren’t enough midlife madness, our listeners are bringing the drama too: one woman is wondering if she should cancel a holiday after someone else’s husband got a little too flirty around the fire pit.

Meanwhile, Lauren struts around a party… only to later realise she’s been working the room with food splattered across her boob. Our listeners bring their own gems too: one wonders if it’s borderline obsessive (or just practical) to do a full-on spring clean before family descends, and another shares the mortifying tale of a husband who nodded off halfway through… well, you know.

]]> 2742 no Slippers, Buddymoons & Graham Norton https://www.spreaker.com/episode/slippers-buddymoons-graham-norton--71164812 Welcome back to the brand-new season of 40ish! On today’s show, Lauren is on a mission to figure out: where exactly are we with slippers? Are they chic? Are they tragic? Meanwhile, Nicole is determined to keep those gym endorphins flowing; even if it means hobbling around the studio like a gladiator who lost to a foam roller. We’ve also got a bride-to-be who wants to know if a “Buddymoon” is a red flag or just group fun 2nd time around. And, because life isn’t fair, Graham Norton has started a podcast that sounds suspiciously familiar to ours… and the worst part? He’s obviously really good at it. So, buckle your slippers (or sneakers), because we’re back, we’re caffeinated, and we’re diving right in!

One woman goes the full Martin Lewis calculating the ‘cost per shag’ now her husband is taking Viagra and wonders if the money could be better spent. And in a tale of midlife bravery gone hilariously wrong, a warrior takes on a rude young shop assistant… only for karma to deliver the ultimate backfire.

]]> 1884 no Sex, Storage Bags & The Meddling MIL https://www.spreaker.com/episode/sex-storage-bags-the-meddling-mil--71164784 This week on 40ish: Lauren’s found joy in vacuum storage bags (yes, really), while Nicole’s ready to stage an intervention over Lauren’s hyper-efficient email deletion habits. Meanwhile, one listener is deeply regretting her choice of holiday companions after a villa-sharing couple won’t stop having very vocal sex in the paper thin walls of their Spanish holiday home. One mum is trapped in a Cornish nightmare where her mother-in-law seems to think she gave birth to the kids - and isn't afraid to parent like it. It’s overbearing, oversharing, and a solid reminder to never share a villa unless earplugs are involved.

]]> 1938 no Unfiltered - Babybels in the bra and Bendover Tuesdays https://www.spreaker.com/episode/unfiltered-babybels-in-the-bra-and-bendover-tuesdays--71164806 Today on Unfiltered; Nicole is asked if she can really trust Lauren and has us all asking: What exactly are “Bendover Tuesdays?” Lauren is close to meltdown as she attempts to tackle paperwork at midnight. One woman cannot keep up with the ravenous appetites of her children who are ransacking the cupboards during the school holidays and the ladies report on a recent study showing that midlifers are really stepping it up in the bedroom - well, they try to, but they are interrupted by a teenager who really doesn't want to walk the dog. It’s parenting, paperwork, perimenopause... and a Babybel down your bra. Just another Tuesday.

Meanwhile, a listener takes umbrage at her husband’s suspiciously long (and very conveniently timed) bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, a woman debates whether to rekindle things with an old flame who slid into her DMs like it’s 2005. Should she message back… or just block and bless?

Same. Lauren admits she'd kill for a Hollywood handshake, while Nicole wants nothing to do with his French stick (make of that what you will). A listener shares a traumatic tale of being exposed on the loo in a public café thanks to her daughter and an ill-timed door swing. The week’s Midlife Meltdown Award has a strong contender: a woman who accidentally sent a photo of her rash to the entire family group chat. Spoiler: It’s not fungal, Margaret.

A listener shares a pool party nip slip in Ibiza that was witnessed by her ex, a teenager with a phone, and an 81-year-old with very good eyesight. Meanwhile, Nicole is wrestling with her Glastonbury FOMO (or is it actually JOMO?), and Lauren can only recall one thing from her own Glasto days - a jacket potato she ate in 1997. Iconic. A listener wants to know the rules on family WhatsApp groups after a dilemma that involves a colonoscopy and a very public family overshare (why, Dad… just, why?)

Meanwhile, Nicole is experiencing a full-blown sandal crisis—too strappy, too orthopedic, not enough ankle support, why is summer footwear so emotionally taxing? One listener is sweltering through a heatwave, but her husband’s libido is showing no signs of cooling down. She’s hot, bothered, and not in a good way. Cold flannel, anyone? And what exactly is a midlifer supposed to do when your young, trendy neighbours make BBQ their entire personality? Is there a polite way to say “please stop smoking brisket at me”?

And what exactly is a midlifer supposed to do when your young, trendy neighbours make BBQ their entire personality? Is there a polite way to say “please stop smoking brisket at me”? Join us for passive aggression, mild despair and probably a few unnecessary Amazon purchases.

]]> 2511 no Unfiltered- Dropped Pins, Disappointed friends and Desperation https://www.spreaker.com/episode/unfiltered-dropped-pins-disappointed-friends-and-desperation--71164782 On today's unfiltered: Nicole is in need of directions - literally and Lauren’s attempt to rescue her using a dropped pin goes just about as well as you’d expect. Spoiler: it makes everything worse, mostly because she is too busy being chatted up by a stranger to assist. Elsewhere, Lauren is in full-on meltdown mode after trying (and, let’s be honest, failing) to install an automated watering system—aka a classic Blue Job gone rogue. Plus, we’ve got a listener’s meltdown as she involves herself in Lauren’s puppy raising. (Brave). It's emotional, it’s relatable, and it may or may not involve us Googling “how to use a dropped pin”  It’s another week of midlife mayhem, passive panic, and questionable decision-making.  To buy tickets to our live show click here -  https://cheerfulearful.podlifeevents.com/festival/40ish---live-from-cheerful-earful-podcast-festival-16-oct-2025-tickets?clientside_routing=true Get 10% off Daily30+ today.

What is a woman to do if you can't afford the full Kris Jenner facelift?
