1 hr - Are We All "Bad Mothers"?
This week, we’re joined by writer Ej Dickson to talk about her phenomenal new book "One Bad Mother." In it, she unpacks the myth of the “bad mom”—where it comes from, who it benefits, and why so many women feel like they’re failing at something no one defined in the first place.
We get into mom guilt, perfectionism, identity spirals, and the systems that benefit from women constantly second-guessing themselves—in their careers, relationships, and even their friendships. It’s honest, uncomfortable, and extremely validating.

1 hr 1 min - The Valley S1 E5: No Sex for A MONTH-AND-A-HALF?!
We watched The Valley so you don’t have to—and this episode is pure chaos.
From Brittany’s blackout girls’ trip to Jesse and Michelle’s slow-motion divorce, the cracks are officially impossible to ignore. This week, we unpack the mystery of the “hot director,” Janet’s elite-level pot stirring, and the truly upsetting sight of Jesse wearing a fedora.
Plus: postpartum honesty, sex drought discourse, and why Jax might be Bravo’s worst emotional terrorist. It’s messy, it’s dark, it’s wildly entertaining—and we’re breaking down all of it.

About How Are We 40?
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to How Are We 40?, a podcast for women in their late 30s and 40s navigating adulthood, relationships, and the unhinged reality of modern womanhood. Each week, sisters-in-law…
Taylor and Whitney—one deep in mom life and mental load, the other spiraling about dating and singledom—unpack the brutal and hilarious realities of being millennial woman in the 2020s.
Expect unfiltered conversations about marriage, dating, friendship, careers, motherhood, body changes, aging, and identity crises. From perimenopause Google searches to relationship fights, work burnout, and making friends as an adult, nothing is off limits.
If you love podcasts for women about relationships, life transitions, mental health, and figuring out who you are after 35, you’re in the right place. Expect oversharing, questionable advice, and the comforting reminder that nobody has “having it all” figured out — everyone is just making it up as they go.
