Summary
This week on 40ish Lauren reveals the unreasonable number of jeans she owns - it’s essentially a denim museum at this point and Nicole is nostalgic about being grounded and realising she’s somehow become the parent she used to dramatically roll her eyes at. This week’s dilemma hits hard: Do you actually want to go out, or are you just going because society says you should leave the house occasionally? A listener questions the fine line between protecting her peace and slowly evolving into a happy little hermit. Plus, listener meltdowns include a yoga class invader with no concept of personal space, Lauren’s dead tree and Nicole’s emotional trauma with Lauren’s kitchen calendar.
