Show Notes
Money has a funny way of getting louder as we get older. In this episode, we're talking about retirement worries, second jobs, side hustles, budgeting, and the strange things we're willing to spend money on while telling ourselves we need to cut back. We're also exploring whether AI can help us get our finances under control—or whether it's just another thing we're paying for. Most of us thought we'd feel more financially sorted by now. Instead, we're still making it up as we go, just with bigger numbers and slightly more expensive mistakes.
The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

There are some things everyone seems to love. Camping, yoga, networking, fancy cheese. And then there is the rest of us. This week we are talking about things we have pretended to enjoy, things we have tried to understand and things we can finally admit, actually I don't like it. So what does everyone else rave about that you just don't get?
Apparently forgiveness is good for you. Fine. But doesn't forgiving someone mean you actually have to speak to them again? This week we are talking grudges, boundaries, and the point where you realise you are not resentful anymore – you just don't particularly care.
We like to think we are pretty easygoing. Until someone loads the dishwasher wrong. this week we are talking all the things we have become particular about. How to make a cup of tea, where things go in the fridge and which way the toilet roll hangs. Turns out we are very relaxed people, as long as everyone does things properly.
How honest is too honest? Should you mix your friendship groups? Are secrets ever okay and are soul-mates really a thing? This week we tackle some tricky questions and get into the unwritten rules of friendships and relationships.
Dylan Thomas told us not to "go gentle into that good night", but then he wasn't dealing with dodgy knees, reading glasses and getting up twice in the night. This week we are borrowing his famous poem to talk about ageing.
