40ish Live: Menopause, Relationships & Midlife Madness in London (Part 2)
30/07/2026 | 41 mins.
Part two of our first ever live show — recorded in front of a sold-out crowd at Kings Cross, London in July 2026. The chaos continues with more stories, more laughs, and even more of the honest, hilarious conversations that make 40ish what it is.

This time it's midlife madness, menopause moments, relationship dramas, and all the ridiculous things we experience but rarely say out loud — with a room full of women who completely get it, and the energy to match.

Settle in for another slice of 40ish live: laughter, honesty, and the comforting reminder that whatever weird thing you're going through, you're almost certainly not the only one.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in person — we loved having you.

40ish Live: Menopause, Midlife & Audience Chaos in London (Part 1)
23/07/2026 | 42 mins.
Part one of our first ever live show — recorded in front of a sold-out audience at Kings Cross, London in July 2026. All the usual 40ish chaos, midlife meltdowns and menopause madness you know from the podcast, but this time with a room full of women (and two blokes) laughing along in real time.

We're talking the everyday absurdities of being a woman in your 40s and beyond — the stuff we normally only say behind a studio mic — now with bigger laughs, live audience reactions, and the full 40ish experience taken to the stage.

If you've ever wanted to know what a room full of women who all secretly think the same things sounds like, this is it. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy Part 1 of our first live show.

Part 2 coming next week.

My Husband Has Money Secrets & Why I'm Done With "Sexy"
16/07/2026 | 38 mins.
HRT and breast cancer fears — the real talk women are having about how hormone replacement therapy has genuinely changed their lives. Plus: a listener's husband won't explain a mysterious £600 missing from their joint account ("I can't say who it's for"), and Clare has an epiphany about being completely done wanting "sexy" on holiday — she just wants a spa, room service, and nobody touching her or asking where anything is.

This week on 40ish, Lauren and Nicole talk perimenopause, menopause, midlife marriage secrets, financial infidelity, and why "sexy hotel" era is officially over for some of us. Also: 70 metres of medieval embroidery nearly ends a friendship (Lauren does NOT care about the Bayeux Tapestry, Nicole is obsessed).

Tell us your most 40ish moment — you know you've got one.
