  • My Husband Has Money Secrets & Why I'm Done With "Sexy"

    My Husband Has Money Secrets & Why I'm Done With "Sexy"
    Jul 16 2026
    HRT and breast cancer fears — the real talk women are having about how hormone replacement therapy has genuinely changed their lives. Plus: a listener's husband won't explain a mysterious £600 missing from their joint account ("I can't say who it's for"), and Clare has an epiphany about being completely done wanting "sexy" on holiday — she just wants a spa, room service, and nobody touching her or asking where anything is. This week on 40ish, Lauren and Nicole talk perimenopause, menopause, midlife marriage secrets, financial infidelity, and why "sexy hotel" era is officially over for some of us. Also: 70 metres of medieval embroidery nearly ends a friendship (Lauren does NOT care about the Bayeux Tapestry, Nicole is obsessed).

  • My Husband Shaved WHAT?! and The Great Midlife Shorts Debate

    My Husband Shaved WHAT?! and The Great Midlife Shorts Debate
    Jul 9 2026
    Today on 40ish, Lauren and Nicole spill the behind-the-scenes gossip from their live show, where, as you'd expect, absolutely anything can happen once they're let loose in front of an audience. A listener takes a passionate stand in the great midlife shorts debate. Strong legs? Absolutely. Thigh chafing, uncomfortable wedges and feeling like a busted can of biscuits? Not a chance. Then comes a dilemma that has Lauren and Nicole in stitches. After 23 years of marriage, one listener's husband decides to shave off all his pubic hair just days before they head to Spain. Is it simply a practical way to stay cool? A midlife confidence boost? Or enough to send anyone's overthinking into overdrive? The conversation quickly turns to their shared appreciation of hairy cavemen and why absolutely nobody wants their husband looking like an unusually tall newborn.
