Not a middle aged woman

As I am not a middle aged woman, I am a pre middle aged man. So as i can't COMPLETELY relate to what they are talking about, a lot of it still resinated with me. Especially the whole you don't always have to take yourself too seriously part. SUBSCRIBED!! Keep up the good work.

Different Perspective

I'm a cishet white dude in his 30's so this wasn't exactly in my general wheelhouse, but I gave it a shot and enjoy hearing the perspective of someone different.

Love this podcast!

I am American, but I absolutely love the approach of this group of women. They discussed things in a natural way that seems totally unscripted. I feel like these are ladies who would be my friends.
