## Resource

This week on 40ish: Lauren is entering her Earl Grey Era. It’s a bit like a Taylor Swift Era but a lot more middle aged. Meanwhile Nicole takes time (far too much time) to contemplate her favourite electrolyte flavour and a weekend of resting. We hear from a listener struggling with the emotional shift of parenting adult children. With one child at home and another living their dream in Australia, she’s proud but feeling the quiet loss of being needed and wondering how to rediscover herself in this new stage of life. Plus, listener meltdowns include searching for a phone using the torch on the phone you’re holding, and a very honest introduction to the “Itty Bitty Saggy Titty Committee” Expect real life, real laughs, and the strange beauty of midlife one cup of Earl Grey and electrolyte at a time.
