• Unfiltered- Dropped Pins, Disappointed friends and Desperation

  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.

• Botox, Bras and Bunions

  This week on 40ish: Nicole fears that she has aged out of Botox. What is a woman to do if you can't afford the full Kris Jenner facelift? Meanwhile, Lauren is freeing the nipple for comfort, feminism and because it’s too damn hot.  Over in listener land, one of you has questions about feet (we’re cautiously intrigued), while another is dealing with a passive aggressive friend - and we all know the first rule of Passive Aggressive Club is... oh whatever, it doesn’t matter. It’s sweaty, saggy, and slightly unhinged; just the way we like it.

• Unfiltered - Baristas, George Clooney and The Bubonic Plague

  Today on Unfiltered we are serving hormones, humiliation, Hollywood heartthrobs, and 14th-century pandemics. Lauren has forgotten where she parked the car and Nicole is speechless after hearing someone under 23 declare themselves “Old!” A doctor gets ambushed by a surprise period while wearing a white dress (because thank you perimenopause) and the ladies ponder how they'd react if George Clooney handed them a cappuccino (spoiler: they would have to check he had sweetener), and there's an unexpected history lesson on the bubonic plague.

• Beachwear, Baggage and Mummy’s Boys

  This week on 40ish: Nicole is on a bikini rampage. Will she find the perfect two-piece, or is it time to just set the girls free and go full Euro-topless? Meanwhile, Lauren is locked in mortal combat with a new TV setup, and frankly, the HDMI cable might win. A listener wonders: is it weird to take your own pillow on holiday?  And another writes in about a full-grown mummy’s boy. We say: Oedipus, schmeedipus — as long as he’s not still breastfeeding, it’s fine. Join us for questionable wisdom, topless beach strategies, and midlife dilemmas we mostly make worse.   To buy tickets for our live show in October click here: https://cheerfulearful.podlifeevents.com/festival/40ish---live-from-cheerful-earful-podcast-festival-16-oct-2025-tickets?clientside_routing=true We love to hear from you!

• Unfiltered - Jeans, Genes, and Generational dread

  Today on Unfiltered: Nicole’s midlife meltdown is simply this: teens. Full stop.  Lauren’s in a crisis over a swimsuit return - but the real issue? She’s turning into her mother. (Love you, Jackie). A listener is lost in a denim dilemma and meanwhile, ex supermodel Linda Evangelista tells an interviewer that she won’t date as she doesn’t want to hear anyone breathing, and honestly? We get it.  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.
