  • Drunk in Barcelona, Movicol and Menopause Awareness

    Drunk in Barcelona, Movicol and Menopause Awareness
    Apr 13 2026
    On 40ish -
    In today’s show: Nicole goes to Barcelona. Nicole gets very drunk. Nicole takes electrolytes and Movicol before bed and decides that it would be socially acceptable to kiss Jon Hamm if he just happened to turn up. Lauren decides to share her drunk texts with the nation. We also discuss the absolute state of modern “healthy” recipes including cauliflower fudge (why), cauliflower pizza (still why), turkey mince pizza (call the police) There’s also a dilemma from someone who is completely fed up with hearing about menopause everywhere she turns and wonders if awareness has gone too far. (Short answer: No!) Plus petty midlife annoyances, full bins, clicky phone keyboards, Kirsty Alley, Family Ties (remember that?) all the usual chaos. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend who needs a laugh (or an electrolyte).

  • Bowel Cancer, Colonoscopies and why we are weird about poo

    Bowel Cancer, Colonoscopies and why we are weird about poo
    Apr 5 2026
    This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare. Every 12 minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. Bowel Cancer Awareness Month takes place every April to raise awareness of symptoms, promote early diagnosis, and encourage screening. As the UK's fourth most common cancer, early detection is critical, with over 90% of cases surviving if caught early. It mainly affects people over 50 but can affect anyone. To talk all about this today we are delighted to welcome consultant gastroenterologistDr Adam Haycock to the show. We get into the importance of screening, symptoms to watch out for and what exactly happens at a colonoscopy. Adam explains: The warning signs people should be aware of Why symptoms must be checked urgently Which symptoms are often dismissed or mistaken for something less serious How particular women's conditions can cause confusing symptoms What to do if you feel embarrassed Why it is vital to take part in the free screening test for over 50’s Plus, we discuss why people are so weird about poo, what a polyp is and why they need to be looked at.

    40ish - Fibre, Friendship Fallouts & Where Are We With Facebook?
    Mar 23 2026
    Today we are bringing you an episode from our other podcast 40ish (don't say we don't spoil you) Please enjoy this episode. This week on 40ish, Nicole reports from the glamorous world of post-surgery recovery where the main event of the day is… taking painkillers. 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. We also tackle this week’s dilemma where a woman is left wondering if some friendships can recover after youve been seriously let down. 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? Expect rants, honesty and the comforting reminder that midlife is mostly just trying to take the right painkiller at the right time while drinking out of the correct mug.

  • Wuthering Heights and The World's Saddest Sandwich

    Wuthering Heights and The World's Saddest Sandwich
    Mar 9 2026
    Today we are bringing you an episode from our other podcast 40ish (don't say we don't spoil you) Please enjoy this episode. On 40ish: Lauren reports back from the cinematic gothic f***fest where the wind was wild, the passion was feral, and one drenched Jacob Elordi on horseback has single-handedly reset her standards and her blood pressure. Frankly, she hasn’t been the same since. For God’s sake, someone hide the linen shirts and put her in a cold shower. Meanwhile, Nicole’s quest for a dignified lunch ends in sadness at the hands of the bleakest tuna sandwich ever assembled. Was it food? Was it a cry for help? Either way, John Lewis may need to answer for its crimes. The Place To Eat? More like ‘The Place To Die’ Plus, a listener deals with an infuriating workplace body-shaming moment, and the Valentine’s Day reports are in. Memo to all men: Don’t buy shit flowers. It’s bodice ripping, sandwich flinging, flower judging chaos. Enjoy! Get in touch!

  • Hearing, Dementia & The Cotton Bud Myth — with Mr Joseph Manjaly

    Hearing, Dementia & The Cotton Bud Myth — with Mr Joseph Manjaly
    Mar 2 2026
    This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare. In honour of World Hearing Day on March 3rd, we’re talking about something most of us take completely for granted… until we can’t hear the waiter, the TV suddenly “too quiet,” and everyone starts mumbling. This week, we’re joined by leading ear surgeon Joseph Manjaly, Consultant Otologist & Auditory Implant Surgeon at OneWelbeck ENT and Clinical Lead at Royal National ENT and UCLH, who spends his days quite literally changing how people experience the world. We get into the surprising truth about hearing loss — including why it’s not just an “old person thing,” how midlife hearing loss is now the biggest modifiable risk factor for dementia, and the everyday habits that could be quietly damaging your ears. Joe explains: Why hearing loss happens (and why it’s not always about ageing) The link between hearing loss, brain health and dementia Tinnitus — what that ringing actually is, and what you can do about it The biggest myths about hearing (yes, we’re looking at you, cotton buds) The incredible technology already restoring hearing — and what’s coming next Plus, we talk about the emotional side of hearing loss; from isolation and confidence to the life-changing moment when someone hears clearly again. Because hearing isn’t just about sound it’s about connection, memory, and staying engaged with the people you love. And after this episode, you may never put a cotton bud anywhere near your ear again!

  • How to Follow Your Heart

    How to Follow Your Heart
    Feb 16 2026
    What do you do when you finally know what you want but making a change feels terrifying? In this episode, Lauren & Nicole talk about how to follow your heart without making impulsive, life-altering decisions you might regret. Because clarity sometimes means making smaller, smarter shifts. We explore: Why big life decisions don’t require dramatic action How to handle fear of change The difference between a direction and a decision How to make aligned choices without self-sabotage The “10% move” that helps you test change safely How to listen to your intuition without blowing up your life We also share practical self-care tools to regulate your nervous system when you’re feeling overwhelmed, restless, or stuck between knowing and acting. If you’re navigating career change, relationship shifts, personal growth, or simply that midlife feeling of “there must be more” this episode will help you move forward calmly and intentionally. Real change doesn’t have to be chaotic. It can be quiet. Sustainable. Thoughtful and it starts with one small move.
