Today on 40ish: Nicole publicly outs Lauren’s escalating email rudeness. Is this the moment we finally admit that yes, midlife has arrived -and apparently it’s brought passive-aggressive punctuation with it. Meanwhile, the pair discover that nothing makes them happier these days than being gifted… extra virgin olive oil. Not gin. Not wine. Olive oil. Nicole, for her part, is living her absolute peak existence on the sofa under a blanket with a hot water bottle like a Victorian invalid who just discovered Netflix. Plus! A listener writes in with some strong merch ideas: Housecoats and a 40ish recipe book, featuring the only things midlife people actually bother cooking anymore: rhubarb compote and air-fryer-everything. Honestly? It might be a bestselling product.

It’s cozy. It’s cranky. It’s deeply midlife.

We love to hear from you! To share your feedback, dilemmas, rants, funny stories or general complaints about midlife please be in touch at:
