40ish | The Funny Podcast on Perimenopause, Menopause & Midlife12 Juni 2025

Jesus, Foreplay and Flirting in the banana aisle

This week on 40ish: Lauren finds her kindred spirit in the banana aisle of the supermarket and has worried herself into a hole about where on earth Nicole will park when they go to Mel Robbins live show. Nicole is feeling super smug after securing a parking space right next to the venue and proving her wrong. One listener wants to know after 22 years of marriage if an elbow nudge to the ribs counts as acceptable sex initiation from her husband (spoiler: she’s not thrilled). Meanwhile, a girl gang’s weekend away hits a spiritual snag as one of them has found Jesus and suddenly the prosecco doesn't feel quite so holy. Still, turning water into wine might come in handy… To buy tickets for our live show in October click here: https://cheerfulearful.podlifeevents.com/festival/40ish---live-from-cheerful-earful-podcast-festival-16-oct-2025-tickets?clientside_routing=true We love to hear from you!
