Episode33: The Hospital Episode!

from The Sage Stage Podcast · host Jane and Chandra

Two middle-aged theatre women walk into a hospital room… and record a podcast.This week on The Sage Stage, Chandra and Jane record from a hospital bed while Chandra is recovering from diverticulitis, and somehow the conversation spirals into friendship warning labels, menopause, emotional baggage, body image, HRT, naming babies, loud women, nervous systems, rage rooms, and learning how to finally let things go.Also: yes, we know the lighting is terrible. We were literally filming in a hospital room with hospital juice cups and zero makeup. Authenticity level: medically supervised.If you’ve ever been told you were “too much,” struggled to slow down, worried about disappointing people, or found yourself rethinking life in midlife — this episode is for you.Raw, funny, emotional, chaotic, deeply honest… and somehow still hilarious.✨ Topics in this episode:Diverticulitis recoveryMidlife health scaresMenopause & HRTEmotional suppression and illnessFriendship dynamicsBody image & weight changesLetting go of people pleasingMotherhood & modeling boundariesLoud theatre women being loudHealing your nervous systemHospital podcasting with terrible lighting🎭 Welcome to The Sage Stage — where nothing is edited, everything is honest, and sometimes the studio is a hospital room.#TheSageStage #WomenOver50 #MidlifePodcast #MenopausePodcast #Diverticulitis #WomenSupportingWomen #AuthenticPodcast #FunnyWomen #TheatreWomen #HealingJourney #MidlifeWomen #RawPodcast #GenXWomen #FemaleFriendship #HRT #PeoplePleasing #MentalHealth #WomenPodcast #CanadianPodcast #RealTalk #HospitalPodcast #WomenWhoTalkTooMuch
