The podcast · For women over 40
Taboo topics. Inappropriately funny. Honest conversations about midlife.
Join broadcaster Susan Osman and Wellbeing Magazine founder Rachel Branson for honest, funny and unfiltered conversations about the things women over 40 are talking about — and sometimes only whispering about.
Recorded in one take, with mocktails in hand, Well, That’s Awkward explores health, hormones, dating after divorce, menopause myths and the real-life stories that make midlife anything but predictable.
