• Midweek Catchup: When Sleep Won’t Play Ball

  On this week’s Midweek Catchup, Kaye and Karen swap gallows humour for sleepless nights — and find themselves comparing coping mechanisms that range from midnight lentil mashing to burning old parkas. Karen’s chemo fatigue meets Kaye’s restless mind, and between them they land on something every woman over 45 will recognise: the impossible balance between slowing down and staying strong.Whether you’re running on fumes or trying to find your own off switch, this one’s for anyone whose brain refuses to clock off — even when your body’s begging it to.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].⚠️ Disclaimer: The discussion includes mentions of sleep remedies and supplements.

• Denise Black: Finding Freedom in Her Sixties

  On this week’s episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Denise Black — actor, singer, and unapologetic non-conformist — who’s proving that life in your sixties can be wilder, wiser, and far more liberating than you’d expect.From being told she was “too fat” or “too disabled” for TV to embracing her silver hair and refusing to fade into the background, Denise opens up about body image, visibility, and the power of not caring what anyone thinks anymore.It’s funny, fierce, and full of the kind of honesty you only earn with time. Whether you’re wrestling with self-doubt, dyeing your roots, or learning to live life on your own terms — this one’s for you.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected]. Hosted on Acast.
