Welcome to “Sh!t My Body Just Does Now,” the episode where I finally admit that my body has entered its feral middle-aged era and did not consult me first.

In this episode, I talk about all the weird, annoying, and frankly disrespectful things my body does now that I’m pushing 48. The stiff lower back that apparently woke up one day and chose violence. The doctor who shrugged and said, “Yeah… that’s aging.” The itchy inner ears no one warned us about. Hormone patches, rashes, Flonase being used for things it was absolutely not marketed for, and the deeply humbling experience of standing up after sitting too long and looking like I just moseyed off the trail.

We get into perimenopause BS, Pilates fantasies, and why yoga can fuck off. There’s also a little escapism because honestly, we need it. Italy makes an appearance. Aperol spritzes are discussed. As they should be.

This is not a wellness episode. There are no tips that will magically fix your joints. It’s just real midlife talk, dark humor, body betrayal, and the comfort of knowing you are absolutely not alone.

If you’re a woman over 40 dealing with perimenopause, aging, stiffness, exhaustion, and the general feeling that your body is running its own side quest, this one’s for you.

Listen, laugh, and feel extremely validated.
