Tom Hanks, Midlife Invisibility & 80's Nostalgia I The Midlifers Podcast

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, we're diving into one of Hollywood's most beloved actors - Tom Hanks.

From Big, Forrest Gump, Philadelphia and Turner & Hooch, we look back at the movies that shaped our childhoods and ask what makes Tom Hanks such an enduring star.

Before that, we tackle a topic that hits close to home - does midlife make you feel invisible? We chat about ageing, confidence, motherhood, changing relationships, social media, and why perhaps we're not becoming invisible at all... we're simply becoming ourselves.

Plus:• The return of The Babysitters Club (40th Anniversary Edition!)• Funny midlife moments• Travelling while pretending you're fitter than you are• Parenting teenagers who mumble• Why Gen X & millennial women refuse to fade into the background

If you're a fan of nostalgia, 80s & 90s movies, funny conversations and honest chats about midlife, you're in the right place.
