This week on 40ish: Nicole is worried she’s become boring, (yawn) while Lauren has a new puppy and is, frankly, obsessively unhinged. Nicole suspects that if Lauren could lactate for it, she would - and there’s WhatsApp evidence to back it up.Meanwhile, a listener makes a shocking discovery: 50 shades of grey... down there. And another woman writes in about her struggle with midlife 'flappage' - cue the return of the Bridget Jones pants. Join us for puppy fixation and your most intimate dilemmas served with the usual blend of honesty and inappropriate laughter.
