We are SO excited to be back after the summer vacation for our second season and we’ve got some fabulous topics and guests to share with you!

First off the block is our chat with Jenni Falconer, Smooth FM presenter, podcast host of Runpod and co-founder of Kollo Health. Did you know how great marine collagen is for you in midlife? We'll be talking about this during our first episode in mid September - out on Tuesday 20 September whilst we respect the Queen's state funeral and national mourning period.

Top of the agenda for so many right now is the cost of living crisis. We invited Angellica Bell of the Martin Lewis Show to sit down with us and discuss ways of saving a little and earning a little, directly from your sofa at home. We called it Purse Positivity as we really need to find inspirational, positive ways of dealing with this crisis and finding some cash ‘down the back of the sofa’.

Clearly you can’t avoid menopause in midlife - if you’re born a woman at least! Don’t miss our brilliant chat with Carolyn Harris MP for Swansea East, Alice Smellie and Laura Biggs who founded the Menopause Mandate along with Davina McCall, Mariella Fostrup, Penny Lancaster and Lisa Snowden. They’ve already made the UK government pay attention and they’ve got lots of plans for the future. They’ll be on our Some Like It Hot! episode in early October.

We’re so thrilled to have Jo Elvin, Australian publishing queen join us. Jo is a multi-award winning editor and broadcaster who has launched and helmed some of Britain's most successful women's magazines. She is most well known as the editor in chief of Glamour and editor of You magazine. Her fabulous fashion sense hashtag clothesmyhusbandhates (but we love) and her support of all things menopause will make her a really fascinating guest on our sofa!

And we’re not afraid to talk about things that are, well, a bit awkward….

Like bereavement and sobriety. Life coaches Mandy Manners, Kate Baily and radio presenter Janey Lee Grace of The Sober Club will be chatting to us about their sobriety journey in November - and Linda Magistris of the Good Grief Trust joins us in December.

Anna Friel is starring in a fantastic new country music tv show called Monarch in the US. It just has to come to our screens in the UK because it’s SOOOO good! Just wait til you hear her sing American Cowgirl! Anna has promised to sit down with us in a few weeks and talk about her movie and tv career - and how she feels about becoming an empty nester.

Other subjects on the horizon include food (because, why not and we love it), makeup in midlife with Gia Mills of Skin in Motion, reinvention, handling sexism, and the benefits in midlife of CBD.

Join hosts Liz and Michelle redefining life over 50 as empty nesters, embracing the highs and lows of midlife with celebrity guests and experts, sharing a laugh on their podcast sofa. We talk about real concerns, issues, and fun topics that affect us, our friends, and our family. 

Midlife is not just about the menopause (although we’d be the first to admit it’s right up there!) but it is a time of adventure, change and reset - with plenty of opportunities and challenges along the way. 

Whether we’re chatting about ‘boomerang kids,’ diet failures (and occasional successes!), pro-ageing, travel, changing relationships, or inspiration for new jobs or activities, there’s always room for one more on our sofa.
