40ish - Laughing Our Way Through Midlife, Perimenopause & Menopause27 Mars 2025

Hemlines, hair dye and I’m “fine”

This week on 40ish Nicole is bored with her hair and toying with the idea of going full Kim K platinum blonde. Lauren has gone back to school to receive an award - and apologises to her geography teacher for the infamous ‘ordering pizzas to the classroom situation of 1993. A listener is in a wardrobe crisis - can you wear a mini skirt at 48? Meanwhile a brave husband asks - when your wife tells you she’s fine, is she really fine? We would love to hear from you!
