Postcards From Midlife

Lorraine & Trish are back for Season 19 of Postcards from Midlife! In this opener, they catch up on their summer — from Cornwall staycations and David Byrne concerts to accidental Ted Lasso interviews and lake-swimming mishaps — & share why midlife women so often feel guilty about resting (hello, Gen X work ethic).

They also give you a first look at this season's brilliant guest lineup, including:

Julia Bradbury on her new book Hack Yourself Healthy and the longevity tips actually worth trying
Rose Ferguson, nutritionist, on her four-week reset plan and the MJMB Protocol for more energy
Dr Sam Bunting, dermatologist, on midlife skin changes, skincare routines, and cosmetic procedures
Professor Tanya Byron on her new book You Are Not a Diagnosis
Novelists Louise Kennedy (Stations) and Meg Mason (Sophie Standing There)

Plus: navigating a full-again "empty nest," the British Heart Foundation Strong Women Challenge, book & telly recommendations for autumn, & stories from the Postcards from Midlife Facebook community.
