Self Care Club - The Midlife Edition

Drunk in Barcelona, Movicol and Menopause Awareness

Self Care Club - The Midlife Edition

Show Notes

On 40ish -In today’s show: Nicole goes to Barcelona. Nicole gets very drunk. Nicole takes electrolytes and Movicol before bed and decides that it would be socially acceptable to kiss Jon Hamm if he just happened to turn up. Lauren decides to share her drunk texts with the nation. We also discuss the absolute state of modern “healthy” recipes including cauliflower fudge (why), cauliflower pizza (still why), turkey mince pizza (call the police) There’s also a dilemma from someone who is completely fed up with hearing about menopause everywhere she turns and wonders if awareness has gone too far. (Short answer: No!) Plus petty midlife annoyances, full bins, clicky phone keyboards, Kirsty Alley, Family Ties (remember that?) all the usual chaos. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend who needs a laugh (or an electrolyte).
