We dive into questions like: Are we too obsessed with anti-aging? Is caring about how you look empowering... or is it rooted in insecurity? And our own take on "aging gracefully"...what is it really? We talk about the pressure women face as they get older and the fine line between self-care and trying to turn back the clock. Also, because it's us: 📺 Teresa gets up to some tomfoolery at the Mrs. Roper Romp 🎙️ We give an update on what's happening with Season 2 🧴 We do a midlife-inspired show and tell featuring some of our favourite products and gadgets 🎤 Teresa challenges Wendy to a week-long voice memo experiment (what could possibly go wrong?) It's funny, honest, occasionally uncomfortable, and a reminder that most of us are somewhere between "I've accepted aging" and "I just bought another anti-wrinkle product." If you've ever caught your reflection and thought, "Who is that?", bought a product because it promised miracles, or injured yourself doing something completely normal... this episode is for you. 🎥 Don’t forget — The Mid now publishes VIDEO episodes!
