Midweek Catchup: Hedge Trimming, Hospital Bags & Red Lipstick Resilience

On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we’re with Kaye and Karen ahead of Karen’s breast cancer surgery — and true to form, she’s been cutting hedges, hoovering stair carpets, and planning which shade of red lipstick to take to hospital.We talk about the surreal build-up to surgery, the power of distraction, and the shock absorbers our brains kindly deploy when reality feels too big. There’s also nesting, mallet shopping, granola stress, and the unexpected comfort of community.Whether you’re facing something tough or just dealing with the everyday chaos of being a woman over 60, this one’s full of warmth, grit, and a few perfectly placed tea bags.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].
