40ish - Laughing Our Way Through Midlife, Perimenopause & Menopause28 Maj

Making Female Friends in Your 40s & Becoming ‘Mumsy’

This week on 40ish, Lauren ponders whether becoming “mumsy” is actually contagious, whilst Nicole continues her impressive streak of losing dog leads, car keys and essentially any object not physically attached to her body. A listener shares an unexpectedly wholesome dream about meeting the ladies, which somehow sparks a fierce debate over who is actually more down to earth and honestly, the jury is still very much out. We also tackle this week’s dilemma from a listener who feels rubbish at making female friendships in her 40s. Why does building meaningful friendships as an adult woman sometimes feel harder than dating? Plus, an elite meltdown involving the correct way to say goodbye to someone in their 20s.As always, we absolutely love hearing from you lot. Your stories genuinely make the show. So please keep your dilemmas, meltdowns and most 40ish moments coming because you are the podcast.
