This week on 40ish Lauren’s mother - Jackie - joins the ladies in the studio and they give her quite the initiation. It’s dirty talk, toilet rolls and all the midlife mayhem you’d expect.

Today on unfiltered, Nicole's rocking a bionic-level tennis elbow brace (think superhero chic meets medical misery), but Lauren's officially winning the Midlife Meltdown Olympics processing a whole lotta dog shaped grief. We also explore the surprisingly low bar first-period celebrations (trip out to the local Tesco, anyone?) and try to decode why engineering geniuses can't seem to navigate their own kitchens. Tune in for laughs, relatable chaos, and maybe a few tears.

This week on 40ish Lauren's week is ruff (pun intended), and not in a good way! 🐾 as we're navigating heartbreak of the furry kind, and the memorial bench really comes into it’s own. We are questioning if men and women can really just be friends? (When Harry Met Sally, we're looking at you!), and debating the fine line between "making yourself at home" and crossing the line. Grab your tissues and a sense of humor, because it's about to get real...and maybe a little bit awkward.

Today on unfiltered: Nicole's perimenopause is her new personal alarm clock, gifting her the joys of 4am wake-up calls. Meanwhile, Lauren's still in deep denial of her own shifting hormones and is rebranding shouting at strangers in the street as just advanced etiquette training. A listener ponders the meaning of life somewhere between 35 and death, and producer James wisely avoids any activity that involves Nicole and a padel racket.

This week on 40ish a woman asks if it’s sweet or if it’s weird to give her daughter a necklace to celebrate her first period. Lauren is hoping the idea may inspire Nicole’s husband to buy her a very special wedding anniversary gift. Plus, a listener asks what happened to her rock n’roll husband who used to play the guitar but now the only bass he is interested in is Homebase.

This week on Unfiltered. Lauren is in digital despair as she wrestles with online contracts. Nicole is overwhelmed as her padel hobby has spiralled out of control into addiction and she’s eyeing up a chair at a ‘Padel Addicts Anonymous’ meeting. A disgruntled listener feeds back and we empathise with a woman deep in peri menopause who now has to share her most embarrassing and intimate issues with Clive the pharmacist.  Prepare for relatable woes, laughter and maybe a tech tutorial?

This week on 40ish, Lauren is installing a memorial bench (a bit pre-emptive for someone who is still living) whilst Nicole has a crash course in adulting when a youngster crashes into her car.  A listener is fed up being used as a free Uber service by her colleagues and a prawn ring turns into a boxing ring when angry words are exchanged after a nice “picky bits in the garden” afternoon goes horribly wrong. Grab your carrot sticks and hummus and tune in for a serving of midlife meltdowns.

This week on Unfiltered. Nicole spirals into an existential crisis in Costco when she convinces herself Lauren is about to dump her. Meanwhile Lauren is making a total fool out of herself during a business lunch in a moment so 40ish it could go in a text book.  Plus, there is a post Easter meltdown (quite literally) when a chocolate egg hunt goes awry. Tune in for rants, questionable advice, and the usual midlife chaos!

This week on 40ish, Buckle up, buttercups as Nicole declares herself the 'best hostess in the universe”' while Lauren is preoccupied with rhubarb. Plus, we've got a listener who's seeing red after her daughter is subjected to an awkward encounter, and a mum who's bemoaning the decline of basic manners.

This week on unfiltered hold onto your decorative cushions, folks! We've got a celebrity dropping (mildly paranoid) truth bombs about the great cushion debate, and let's just say, he’s not holding back. Meanwhile, Nicole fears her co-host may be on the turn after Lauren's sudden transformation into a bra-displaying, crazy dog-buggy lady during their walk. Plus, we're diving deep into the existential crisis of laundry that... just doesn't smell right. Tune in for chaos, cushions and the scent of regret.
