New Beginnings After 40

On this episdoe of New Beginnings After 40 , we're talking about the things that drive us absolutely BONKERS! Crazy, Angry, Unhinged, Boiling. All good words to describe the pet peeves and everyday frustrations that push os over the edge. You will probably recognize and relate with a few of them. Come laugh, vent, and feel seen as we unload about the stuff that makes us go a little nuts.

Which type are you? Jen made a list of completely opposite types of people and the girls laughed as they answered which type they were... Early bird or night owl? Pretty sure during the weekly update that Lori either said that Kimberly is dumber than her daughter or that Alyssa is smarter than her Kimberly. Either way, same thing, and that is what we all want for our children, but Kimberly's reaction was greatness. Let's all check out Bunko for Babies and help support teen mothers. And who hasn't left the house with a dryer sheet stuck to their clothes at some point? It's a thing. Check out our list and let us know which type you are and if you thought the list was lame!

Today the New Beginners are discussing nostalgic items! Mood rings, Duck Hunt and boomboxes! Lori can wear some units (anyone remember those?), Jen should get a perm and watch out for Kimberly and her giant video recorder. Times really have changed. Do we miss the simpler times? We all remember the beginning and ending of MTV. Lori also updates on her podcast setup, and Jen and Kimberly tell us about their trip to Grapevine. Remember, every day is a new day!

Let's go, 2026!! Happy new year, New Beginners!!! Are you all ready to conquer this year?The girls share what they are planning to conquer this year. Let's work on positive thinking, purchasing less unnecessary items online, and being better friends (Jen!). Good luck, Lori, getting through extremely busy January at work! We love you, girlfriend. And, good luck, Kimberly on your new classes. You got this! Jen, keep grinding.We need to have an episode with the fun delivery box. That sounds like a blast. And does anyone want to do a selfie scavenger hunt with Jen? Please!

Tis the season for twinkling lights, holiday traditions and shopping stress. The gang discusses the joys and pains of decorating, shopping and keeping gifts surprises. Do you guys shake the gifts under the tree? Kimberly shares her tricks for keeping gifts a surprise. Good job to Santa's little helpers, Joey and Alyssa, for helping make the holiday a little less work! It is possible that all of our Christmas decorations will still be up in March. Is Jen sore because of decorating or because of date night? Why does Kimberly have a concussion? Lori finished up her F1 podcast for the season and we are all looking forward to hearing what comes next after the break. And Sammi chewed through the Christmas tree lights! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, New Beginners!

Welcome back to part two of Music and Memories! There is definitely more music discussed in the second half of this episode. You will find yourself nodding your head and thinking about your own memories as you listen to the crew and Terry recall songs that made memories. Who doesn't love the Eurythmatics? Gotta love the Jenisms! Terry discusses the charity record released in the 80's with tons of heavy metal musicians with a song called Stars. That would be two R's according to Terry because it extra rocks! Kimberly asks the questions on what songs make each of the crew think about a certain someone and Lori really dives into the special songs from each decade.

Music, Memories and Madness. Have you ever heard a song and were instantly transported to a special moment in time? Us too! Listen to our friends at New Beginnings after 40 as they talk about how special music is to them and the memories that songs can unlock. Special guests include Terry and Bubbles, the cat. Terry makes us laugh when he gets a moment to speak. Lori has everyone wanting to go visit IKEA. They have food?! Kim tells a story involving the floor seats, also known as floor boards. We always have a good laugh! Be sure to like, comment and subscribe!

Come laugh with us while the New Beginnings After 40 gang lightly roast each other. Lightly... It was supposed to be lightly roasting! What happened? Watch or listen to find out. Jen might be THE bully. It is a good thing these girls have an unbreakable bond. The weekly updates include the possible conclusion of the firefighter and hairdresser saga, the Sunday day date that ended with a snooze and special birthday blessings for a special person. #EverydayIsANewBeginning, #LifeOver40, #Roast, #trynottolaugh , #MomsOver40, #WomenOver40, #unbreakablebond , #novemberbirthday , #bestfriendsforever ,

Happy Halloween from the Ghouls of New Beginnings after 40!!!! Hang out with us while we discuss our trick or treater's shenanagins, the Westin Dallas Southlake Halloween party fun, and great costumes. Jen, the scaredy cat, shares her story about being completely creeped out while watching a scary movie in the middle of the day. Lori cracks us up with her love of a certain word. Words are fun! Lori also started her new podcast, Grandstand Therapy: an F1 pod. Go check it out! We are happy to hear the results from Kimberly's heart docter, but her husband was not as relieved. He is stuck with her for a while! Grab a creepy cocktail or a bucket of candy and come laugh with us! #everydayisanewbeginning , #LifeOver40, #Happyhalloween, #shenanigans, #WestinDallasSouthlake #costumesandcandy #MidlifeMemories

It is a Halloween special full of tricks, treats, and too much TMI! Jen gives us the spooky play-by-play of her prep and procedure for her colonoscopy and endoscopy. Lori recaps her poker filled work event and our Halloween hotel party outfit plans. Kimberly shares part one of her Pinterest kitchen project that her husband does not like. We dive into our obsessions with haunted houses, our biggest fears, favorite scary movies, spirit encounters, and the adrenaline rush that makes us all thrill seekers at heart. Plus, a throwback to when Lori was Humpty Dumpty and Kimberly was the Sexy Wall because even in our 20's Halloween costumes were unforgettable. Expect laughter, chaos, and a few moments that will make you shake your head. #halloweenpodcast #spookyseason #hauntedhouses #spiritstories #hauntedhotmess #frightfullyfunny #wesaidwhatwesaid #laughtillyoucry #boozedandconfused, #realtak #nofilterjustfear #everydayisanewbeginning #newbeginningsafter40

Let's get spooky! What is a better way to get ready for Halloween than New Beginnings after 40 turning into New Beginnings After Dark for an episode? First the girls give their weekly updates: F1 fun, Slasher love and stress test incline struggles! Then let the chills begin as Jen, Lori and Kimberly each tell a ghost story. Jen enchants us with The LaLaurie Mansion,. Lori spooks us with Whispers at the Witch House. And Kimberly scares us silly with Strangler of Salem! This episode is recommended for audio listening for maximum spookage. #spookyseason #scarystories #afterdark #newbeginningsafter40 #everydayisanewbeginning #halloween2025 #lalauriemansion #stranglerofsalem #whispersatthewitchhouse

This week on New Beginnings After 40, we are on a mission to figure out if we are actually old or just dumb, dumber, or dumbest. Lori speeds in with her latest F1 updates. Jen scheduled her double-feature procedure, endoscopy/colonoscopy. Fingers crossed they put her under this time. Kimberly's raising hell in Austin with haunted houses and questionable life choices. Between Kimberly and Jen acing their first exam and finding out that all 3 of us are definitely not getting wiser. #yourgettingold, #f1updates, #dumbdumberdumbest, #oversharingexperts, #stillnotwise, #unfiltered, #everydayisanewbeginning, #podcast, #newbeginningsafter40 , #funny

We are baaaack! Kimberly, Lori and Jen return from hiatus with more chaos, laughter and medical bills. We have real life medical fiasco's that sound like rejected ER scripts along with discussions on senior citizen perks, Golden Bachelor gossip and Lori dishes on her "you are so pretty" moments. Jen and Kimberly have finally picked their next career, assuming their OLD brains can retain the information. This might be tough considering they can't remember what they said 5 minutes ago. Buckle up, because the only thing they can remember how to do is overshare. #oversharing , #yoursopretty, #laughedandforgotwhy, #comedypodcast, #goldenbachelor, #memoryloadingpleasewait, #relatableaf #seniorcitizenperks, #funnyaf, #everydayisanewbeginning ,#newbeginningsafter40, #midlifemesses

This week's episode is packed with laughs and surprises. Kimberly dives into her needling experience and the big question is who gets the brand new car, Kimberly or her daughter Alyssa? Jen's stomach issues get worse but she is still contemplating if you should order food at the beginning of a movie or the middle? Lori drops fresh updates on last weekends F1 race, while Jen hilariously uses the wrong word again. (We are still not sure if she is ever going to stop.) To top it off, Kimberly, Jen and Lori play a wild round of Would You Rather. Were the questions lame or fun? Let's just say there was plenty of laughter, a few mind blowing moments and even some unexpected singing. This is a much watch if you love laughing. #wouldyourather, #funnypodcast, #newcardrama, #weeklyupdates, #laughoutloud, #f1, #besties #newbeginningsafter40, #podcastlife, #everydayisanewbeginning, #needling, #spillthetea

Party planning sucks and we have the scars to prove it. Lori gets beat up by pool cornhole, Jen lands in the ER, yes, ambulance and all and Kimberly's "hiatus" turns out to be a week stuck in the hospital on the old psych wing. As summer and pool season end, College Football Saturday's at Jen's house starts. Did Kimberly finally hit her goal weight? Why is Jen stopping her weight loss shot so early? Is Lori planning to start her own podcast? Why does party planning give you so much anxiety? We are spilling it all about guests, whether you really need to deep clean your house before hosting, the worst parts of planning a party and actually helpful tips to make it all suck a little less. #partyplanningsucks, #hostlife, #partytips, #collegefootball25, #Poolseasonisover, #girlgang, #comedypodcast, #relatableaf, #everydayisanewbeginning , #LifeOver40, #InspiredLiving, #EmpoweredWomen, #midlifemotivation

Kimberly dishes on her Panama City Beach adventures, including getting stranded in the middle of the ocean with Alyssa. Lori returns with the hairdresser/Firefighter saga and Jen updates us on her third weightloss shot. But, does she secretly miss her food more than she admits? We also had a surprise, and slightly tipsy, guest appearance, some questionable parenting moments! Like Kimberly crashing into her daughter on a four tier wooden race track.

This week, Lori and Jen are on their own while Kimberly is having a blast on her mother and daughter vacation. The special furry guest host bolted before weekly updates were finished. Hopefully they can keep everyone else entertained while they update on Lori's Jeep and week 2 of Jen's weight-loss shot journey. Expect purrs, laughs and cat chaos!

Why did we buy this? No, seriously! This week Jen confesses to using Amazon as her personal emotional support website because who needs therapy when you have overnight shipping? Kimberly shares her midnight adventures of falling into a Temu and Shein black hole while Ambien shopping. RIP to her bank account. Meanwhile, Lori's on a mission to collect every hair tool known to man, even though her 2009 curling iron still works fine. Also in this episode, Kimberly got Botox and now feels like a villainous Dr. Evil. Jen spills all about her first week on the weight loss shot. Is she thriving or just starving? Lori may or may not have a car that is dying a slow and dramatic death. Retail therapy, Botox regrets, and broken-down cars - Yep, it is another week of being in our prime. #whydidibuythis, #retailtherapy, #addtocart, #impulsebuyconfessions, #weightlossshotdiaries, #EverydayIsANewBeginning, #LifeOver40, #WomenOver40, #MidlifeMotivation, #RealMomLife, #SelfCareForMoms, #newbeginningsafter40

Warning, this episode contains secondhand embarrassment and zero s5hame. Kimberly hits the big 5-0, cue the glitter and the Advil. Lori shares her nightmare of a wellness visit and she has a new update on her hairdresser's drama. Somehow we made it out and recovered from all the steps at the Goo Goo Dolls concert. Kimberly's has another wild story of the week and then things get real with the embarrassing moments. Lori ends up flashing her underwear to over 100 people, Jen full-on body checks a pole with her forehead, and Kimberly dances her way right off a boxed platform like it's Cirque Du So Embarrassed. You will cringe, you will laugh, and you might feel a little better about your own awkward moments. #everydayisanewbeginning, #embarrassingstories, #laughatyourself, #newbeginningsafter40, #50thbirthday, #hotmessmoments, #platformfail, #flashingandcrashing, #reallifecomedy, #podcastconfessions, #toooldforthisbuthereweare, #podcastlife

This week, we are joined by Larry for a chaotic deep dive into love, laughter, and the wild ride of relationships, and bonding. Larry is dazed, confused, and double-fisting drinks, having debates over Budweiser vs. Keystone, while planning his own funeral since his wife watches True Crime every night before bed. Jen's cat survives an emergency hysterectomy, though not before nearly dying of boredom from our podcast. Lori's new skincare routine went up in flames, on her face. We break down how men and women connect differently, why connection calendars, couch divides, and Saturday pool days can keep the spark alive. Forget penciling sexy time because we are scheduling real bonding like, games, trivia, painting, smashing dishes, F1 races, new restaurants, and maybe a walk around a lake with or without your dog. Oh, Kimberly's got a car crash story you will not believe and might not want to picture. Tune in for laughs, eye-rolls, and a crash course in keeping love alive, no passion required, just creativity, and maybe a helmet. #relationshiphumor, #couplesthatpodcast, #connectionoverpassion, #menvswomen, #bondingtogether, #botox, #poolday, #connectioncalendars, #newbeginningsafter40, #everydayisanewbeginning

This episode is hotter than Lori and Jen's sunburn. Kimberly had to call 911 for her mom which turned into five days in the hospital; while Jen and Lori were busy having a secret sleepover like middle school mean girls. Jen downloaded a dance app and quit faster than a bad date. We are unpacking Bachelor Nation drama, pitting The Youngers vs. The Goldens and Jen brings up the Ten Commandments being posted in classroom for a group discussion. Plus, we break down Diddy's alleged "Freak Offs." Guilty or Not Guilty? You tell us. One thing's for sure, Kimberly can't stop yawning, but this episode is anything but boring. #everydayisanewbeginning, #familyfirst, #danceappfail, #leftoutandsalty, #bachelornation, #churchinclassroom, #freakoffs, #diddytrial, #podcastchaos, #newbeginningsafter40, #freakoffs, #bachelorinparadise

What do small boobs, a broken down car wash, and government AI conspiracies have in common? This episode! LOL. This episode is the perfect mix of cozy chaos and deep conversations. We are also getting real about thriving in midlife by making new connections, trying new things, and remembering who we are outside of being someone's partner. Whether you are here for the laughs or feels, we have got you covered. And yes, we have another Kimberly Crazy Story, this one involves construction signs and questionable choices. #thrivingnotsurviving, #podcastlife, #midlifewoman, #nobranoproblem, #comedypodcast, #chatgptconspiracy, #smallboobbigenergy, #F1premiere, #everydayisanewbeginning, #newbeginningsafter40

Welcome to the stage of life where Spanx are a full-contact sport and caring about everyone's opinion is so last decade. This week, we are diving into the glorious "I don't give a flip" phase of getting older. From comfort vs. fashion (leggings win, obviously), to the eternal bra debate, makeup fatigue, and whether FOMO still has a hold on us. Spoiler alert - not really. We are spil ling the tea on everything from group texts that should be a crime, to phone glued hands, body image, and how putting yourself out there hits different after 40. Also on deck: Pool season has commenced, Lori's pilgrimage to Buc-ee's, Jen's quality time with her stepson and a surprise Moulin Rouge moment. Kimberly's ADHD fueled cleaning rampage and her latest dating horror story. This horror story features a guy who said he was a 1st grade teacher but was really a waiter. You can't make this stuff up. #freshouttaf's, #everydayisanewbeginning, #comfortovercute, #makeupoptional, #leggingsforlifestyle, #nobranoshame, #zonecleaningchronicles, #grouptextexhaustion, #waiternotteacher, #poolseason, #midlifemotivation, #agingwithconfidence

Buckle up buttercup because this episode is a chaotic cocktail of F1 gossip, dogs in a bar, and pecking ostriches. We kick things off with a little F1 talk from Lori (because speed is her love language), then swerve into a bestie lunch soiree, and happy hour shenanigans where Jen TRIPS over a dog (yes, really). Kimberly casually drops the bomb that she got arrested and randomly wants to take a trip to Broken Bow. Jen blindsides us with questions like "Which one of us would get kicked off a reality show first?" "Who would play us if our friendship turned into a movie?" Can you say pole dancing and our 80's senior home living with Kim's posse featuring Lori and Jen? Basically, it is the podcast equivalent of a group chat with no supervision.

This week, we are bringing the drama, Southern Style! Kimberly takes us on a wild ride through her hometown of Eufaula and drops her latest crazy story of the week. Jen gives us the scoop on her mole removals and Lori's hairdresser drama gets a juicy update. Meanwhile, Kimberly's husband Larry, joins the podcast with his signature passive responses to last week's roast. (Blink twice if you need help, Larry.)

Let's be honest, we have all got our issues. In this episode, we are spilling the tea on our own quirks, habits, and glorious imperfections.....and then turning the spotlight on our men! From forgetful husbands to our own overthinking brains, no one is safe. It's real, it's raw, it's funny and it might hit a little too close to home. #EverydayIsANewBeginning, #itwashisfault, #flawedandfabulous, #loveandlaughs, #maybeitsme, #faults, #podcastlife, #newepisodealert, #realtalk, #relationshiphumor, and #womenover40

Episode 8 is wild in the best way. Jen, Lori, and Crazy Kim are back with laughs, rants, and way too much honesty. From a neurologist’s shocking misdiagnosis to regrettable Mad Dog 20/20 memories, this episode goes from skincare to sex drive and everything in between. Jen swears by facials (and shares why you should too) Lori dishes on male gynocologist not wanting to discuss perimenopause Kim’s crazy story of the week: it’s Mad Dog madness and sneaking out Real talk on menopause, perimenopause, hysterectomy & no sex drive Plus: F1 chat, life updates, and all the unfiltered over-40 girl talk you didn’t know you needed.
