Welcome to 40ish!
Brought to you by the hosts of the award winning podcast Self care Club, Lauren Mishcon and Nicole Goodman -two 40ish women who went searching for a podcast that truly spoke to their age group - Where was the show that captured the sheer, hilarious chaos of midlife? The one that understood the juggling act of teens, aging parents, career pivots, and hormones that have a mind of their own?
When they couldn’t find it, they made it.
40ish is the podcast that midlifers deserve. A space where they tackle real dilemmas, rant about the absurdities of aging, and share every embarrassing moment—because if they're living through it, they are damn well laughing at it. And honestly, at this stage of life, comedy isn’t just entertainment. It’s survival.
Get ready for candid conversations and a lot of laughter as this funny duo explore middle aged angst and (attempt) to solve all your dilemmas.
