Things We Stopped Pretending to Like After 40 (Part 2)

from The Nucking Futz Podcast: real life . real laughs . real talk · host Nucking Futz

Loud restaurants. Networking events with bad wine. Standing for three hours at concerts. Jeans that haven’t fit since 2017. In Part 2 of Over 40: Edit It or Over It, Melissa and Donna keep the conversation rolling and aren’t holding back. They are talking about: friendships that feel one-sided hustle culture and girl boss burnout fake productivity hacks feeling guilty for resting comparing your body to your younger self and why life gets a whole lot better when you stop trying to make everyone happy Along the way, they somehow end up discussing Starbucks orders, Lady Gaga, Portugal, private jets, and the freedom that comes from finally saying: “This is who I am. Take it or leave it.” Funny, honest, slightly chaotic, and a reminder that life gets a lot lighter when you stop performing for everyone else. Because after 40, the real glow-up is not caring so much what other people think.
