Perimenopause is not what we expected — and honestly, it's so much worse. In this episode, we talk candidly about the physical, emotional, and mental toll of perimenopause, the symptoms no one warned us about, and why women are so unprepared for this stage of life. If you're in your 40s or 50s and wondering what is happening to your body, this conversation will feel painfully familiar.

Dating in your 50s is a completely different experience — and Sarah having a new boyfriend proves it. In this episode of Talk Shit & Laugh, we talk about how dating changes in midlife, what we actually want now, and why we have way less patience than we did in our 20s and 30s.

We Weren't Ready for This… But We're Figuring It Out.

At some point, the roles start to shift—and suddenly you're the one worrying, checking in, and making decisions for the people who raised you. In this episode, we talk honestly about parenting our parents, navigating aging, guilt, boundaries, and the emotional whiplash that comes with it. It's complicated, heavy at times, and surprisingly common—so if you're in this season too, you're not alone.

Happy New Year, friends! We're kicking off 2026 with a little truth and a lot of laughter: our morning routines are chaotic good energy.

In this episode, Michele and Sarah look at how they actually start their mornings this time of year—what's working, what's wishful thinking, and which routines we'll probably keep… at least for now.

Inside we're chatting about:

Why we'd need a full 12-hour morning to fit in everything we want to do
The tension between "ideal" and "real" routines—and why both matter
The habits we love (and the ones that secretly stress us out)
Some happy new year wishes for you, from two women trying their best and laughing through the mess

This is a cozy, honest start to the new year—with zero pressure to be perfect, and full permission to reset in your own way. Come for the dry brushing attempts… stay for the real-life chaos.

Listen if you've ever wanted to have a productive, magical morning… but also accidentally scroll for 45 minutes instead.

New year, new… ugh, no.

In this episode, Sarah and Michele get honest about why we're skipping the resolutions this year—and what we're doing instead to create real change (without the pressure, guilt, or glitter-covered goals list).

We talk about:

Time feels like it's moving too fast—and how we're slowing ourselves down
The problem with "new year, new me" energy (spoiler: you're probably already doing more than you realize)
How Michele quit smoking—like, OMG - so Michele
What Sarah is approaching differently in her love life, and how small shifts are already changing how she feels

And remember - we will teach you nothing. LOL

This is how we approach the New Year, and we'd love to hear more about how you ring in the New Year!

Are goals stupid? Are they the best thing ever? We don't know! Tell us!

One wears a Santa hat. One is wearing black. Guess who wore what!

Because somehow—it's all perfectly "talk sh*t" festive.

In this episode, we're dishing on our favorite holiday traditions, the food we look forward to all year, how Sarah has 2 Christmas trees, and how Michele rejects a few rules and celebrates with her amazing Mishmas.

We talk about:

Decorating chaos
Comfort food
Holiday joy (and how we wish people were nicer)
And how weirdly healing it can be to make your kind of season—no matter what it looks like

New episodes drop weekly
Share your favorite holiday traditions—we might read them on the show!

Which One of Us Is the FBI Profiler? Wait for it…

In this week's episode, we leave this timeline on read and hop on over to the multiverse—where infinite versions of us are living totally different (and sometimes wildly better?) lives.

We ask the important questions:

Would Michele be a no-nonsense FBI profiler... or just someone who knows too much?
Would Sarah have become a stand-up comic touring the world with emotionally devastating punchlines?
Is Michele secretly a super chill mom in another dimension (no minivan, minimal PTA involvement)?
Could Sarah be the CEO of a mega-business empire that runs on iced coffee, intuition, and hard boundaries?

Listen if you've ever wondered who you'd be if you'd made just one different choice… or if you're 92% sure you're meant to be living near water with a mysterious past.
