The Grass Isn't Greener & Battle of the 90's Divas

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, Mez and Fonz kick off with a wide-ranging midlife chat that covers everything from lollipop ladies and awkward etiquette, to scary movies you absolutely shouldn’t watch alone — especially if you still believe in bad energy following you home. There’s also a very honest reflection on how getting older changes what we can tolerate, what scares us, and how our perspective shifts once motherhood enters the picture.

Our first segment is a Midlife Moment: The Grass Isn’t Always Greener, where we unpack the realities behind things we once wished for. From growing up with big boobs (or wishing you had them), to body confidence, relationships, marriage, independence and even content creation, we talk candidly about how every “other side” comes with its own set of challenges - and why gratitude often comes later than we’d like.

Then it’s time for Who Did It Better: 90s Diva Edition, as we take on the near-impossible task of comparing two vocal powerhouses - Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. We dive into their careers, voices, iconic moments &surprising fun facts, debating powerhouse vocals versus whistle notes - and whether it’s even fair to pit two legends against each other.

As always, expect laughs, nostalgia, honest reflection and a whole lot of midlife perspective.
