Thumbs-up. The Pesto Revelation & Nicole’s Replacement

Today on 40ish, Nicole is facing every podcaster’s worst nightmare: being replaced. (Temporarily, while she recovers from her op - but still.) Enter James - Brave. Unprepared. About to be exposed to levels of menopause and nunny chat that no man could ever train for. Will he survive? Will he make eye contact again? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, Lauren has had a life-altering revelation about pesto that has raised serious questions about her past, her judgement, and possibly her entire personality. Plus, a listener asks whether the “thumbs- up” emoji is a perfectly normal response or a pass agg move? Whilst another woman writes in from the trenches of sick children, relentless rain, and the kind of exhaustion that turns you into a barely functioning medieval peasant. Prepare for replacement anxiety and emoji politics. Get in touch!
