    Lost Sparks, Raving & Relationship Advice | Midlife & Menopause Podcast

    01/09/2026 | 40 mins.
    Welcome to the brand new season of 40ish - the midlife and menopause podcast for women in their 30s, 40s & 50s.

    This week: a couple who are healthy, financially secure and stable, but have completely lost their spark. How do you start enjoying life and each other again? Plus, is raving the new midlife self-care? We're asking whether swapping the spa day for a crop top and loud music actually counts as wellness.

    Also in this episode: Nicole has a full nervous breakdown over new studio tech, Lauren goes deeply evangelical about arch support and flip-flops (this is genuinely where we are in midlife), and has a disturbing realisation in a school uniform shop that she's turning into her own mother.

    And today's meltdown: a woman wants it made very clear that marrying another woman does NOT automatically mean you get a partner who does the housework. Is it time for a formal domestic performance review?

    New season, same 40ish chaos. Let's get into it.

    We love to hear from you!
