Changing Shoes in the Street, University Drop Off & A Cancelled Girls Trip

This week on 40ish, Nicole hits a major midlife milestone as she drops her eldest child off at university. We’re not crying, you’re crying. Meanwhile, Lauren is experiencing a very different kind of midlife humiliation: changing from heels into flats on the Tube because comfort has officially won. We hear from a listener struggling with unpredictable energy levels and fluctuating hormones. She can feel full of energy and excited to make plans one day, then reach the day itself and want to cancel everything and hide under a duvet. So how do you make plans when you genuinely have no idea which version of yourself is going to turn up? In Midlife News, three 40ish stars have all welcomed new babies. Finally, this week’s dilemma is a big one. A friend has cancelled their girls’ weekend just five days before they’re due to go. Is this the end of a friendship?

Have your friendships changed in your 40s? Do you have less energy for nights out than you used to? And how do you deal with making plans when your energy levels are completely unpredictable?
