Overpacking for Holidays, Menopause Drama & a Tricky Parenting Dilemma
About this episode
The episode discusses holiday packing, menopause experiences, and a parenting dilemma regarding a daughter's weight gain.
This week on 40ish, we’re discussing one of the most delusional acts of midlife optimism: packing holiday clothes for a version of yourself that absolutely does not exist. 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. In other feedback; One listener slid in with some strong opinions on our menopause chat. We’re not here to whisper politely. We’re loud, honest, occasionally unhinged, and very much ourselves. It won’t be for everyone and we’re oddly fine with that. Meanwhile, a mum is worried about her daughter’s weight gain. Do you say something or keep quiet and avoid knocking her confidence? It’s a tricky one. If you’re loving 40ish, share it with a friend ( ideally one who’s also packed five outfits but worn the same jumper for three days straight) Get in touch!
