Summary
This week on 40-ish: Nicole is in BAD MOOD and Lauren is not helping by regaling her with her wholesome tale of foraging and pesto making. Of course, it wouldn’t be the podcast without a dilemma that makes you squirm. This week: what do you do when your judgy Mcjudge pants BFF best friend gets lip filler… and it’s not great? Should you say something, or take it to the grave? Elsewhere, expect the usual glorious tangents including the depressing moment when you realise you’re using No7 but your own child has upgraded to NARS, and a trip to the optician that took longer than a commercial flight to Europe. Finally, a listener meltdown that “trumps” all others. A sunny dog walk, a moment of overconfidence… and the horrifying realisation that you’ve been audibly farting in surround sound with an audience directly behind you the entire time. If you love the episode, share it with a friend who also enjoys a mix of chaos, candour, and questionable decision-making. Get in touch!
