In today's episode, we talk about intimacy in midlife and what you can do to help! What lube to use and the most popular toys amongst men and women and the trends to look out for! We talk to Leah and Cass of Intimate Wellbeing. They share how their journey started and buying a first toy at 47. We talk about the shame many women in midlife still feel around talking about sex, sex toys, and intimacy in general. 

Apparently, midlife women should be having at least two orgasms a week! It's beneficial for female health. Why aren't we? We talk about taking control of our own pleasure. We also talk about what sex toys men and couples are buying. Join us as we chat and laugh with the incredible founders of Intimate Wellbeing, a sexual wellness boutique and community for midlife women.

In this week's episode, we address a common question. Can a husband or boyfriend have a female best friend without it being considered weird? What boundaries should you have? Or do you, as Mel puts it, use your common sense? If a girl BFF is a little "too friendly," what do you do?

We also talk about "work wives and husbands", when you're in a relationship and the TikTok phenomenon of "pick me girls." What does it all mean? What do you do if your partner changes their behavior around this friend? What if they are tone deaf and don't notice that their female BFF is really around a little too much and is a little too "touchy-feely”? Do you say something? Do you put up with it?

Tune in to see what Mel and Suzie think. As usual, they come at it from their own generations and don't agree on everything, but they are able to agree to disagree and laugh at the same time!

Enoy!

But wait, there's more! Along the way, Mel and Suzie sprinkle in their trademark wit and irreverence, serving up witty banter and laugh-out-loud anecdotes that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Whether they're debating the merits of hot flashes versus toddler tantrums or riffing on the perils of marrying for money, you're in for a comedy extravaganza like no other.

So grab your popcorn and buckle up for a wild ride through life's quirkiest crossroads. Whether you're team "Fabulous at 50" or team "Hot Mess Mom," one thing's for sure: with Mel and Suzie at the helm, you're in for a rip-roaring good time!

Mel and Suzie delve into the complexities of this situation, offering candid advice on how to break free from the cycle and embrace new opportunities for love and fulfillment.

In this episode, we talk about “the role of the mistress." We talk about the, "other woman" or the "homewrecker"! Has our perception of the mistress changed? There have been a lot of popular shows that have depicted the mistress role. There are the famous mistresses, like Camila Parker Bowles. Have we realized that yes, the mistress is cheating, but so is the man!

In the grand theater of relationships, mistresses often find themselves cast as the elusive anti-heroine, challenging societal norms and defying expectations with a saucy swagger. They're the rebels with a cause, rewriting the script of love and loyalty with each clandestine rendezvous.

But behind the cloak-and-dagger drama lies a deeper story of human connection and desire. Mistresses are not just femme fatales or home-wreckers; they're complex individuals navigating the messy landscape of love in all its forms. What do we think? Or should they just leave my man alone!!

Do we have more empathy and understanding as to why women become mistresses? Mel and Suzie discuss what it means to be a mistress, what we think of the role of a mistress. What is the truth? Is it a mysogynitic double standard that we have such a visceral reaction to mistresses?

In this  episode, Mel and Suzie are talking about "bunny boilers"! What does that mean, is that some weird British term? Yes, it means a woman who has been scorned and is seeking revenge. The inspo for the term is the infamous bunny boiling scene from the 1987 film Fatal Attraction. The inspo for this episode is a TikTok about a scorned woman and what she does on Valentine's day! Fueled by heartbreak and vengeance, she seeks to make a bold statement on Valentine's Day! Mel and Suzie think it's a big mistake!

The moral of the episode for men is to not date "crazy women" and for women to not date married men! No good can come from either! Remember everyone, the saying isn't there for nothing : "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!"

As usual, there is chat from Mel and Suzie, banter, laughter, some Britishmisms, some education, and so much more!
