The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between. Hosted by two midlife women with different lives but the same questions, it’s honest, funny and occasionally uncomfortable. If you’ve ever thought “surely it’s not just me?” — it isn’t. Pull up a chair. You’re in the club.

The Sandwich Club Ep 7 - Why on earth did I buy that? 02.06.2026 28minWhy on earth did I buy that? We’ve all done it. Bought the thing that was going to change everything — make us fitter, calmer, more organised, or just... better. And then quietly left it in a cupboard. In this episode, we talk about the things we’ve bought, why we bought them, and what they were really about. It turns out it was rarely the item — it was something else entirely! A mix of optimism, regret, and a slightly overdue clear-out. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

The Sandwich Club Ep 6 - We Raised Them to have their own opinions 26.05.2026 27minWe Raised Them to have their own opinions...and don't they! There’s a moment when the relationship shifts — from raising your children to being quietly reviewed by them. In this episode, Tracey brings two of hers in and they talk about how things have changed from both sides. Get ready for some nan-splaining! The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

The Sandwich Club Ep 5 - The audacity of buying the good face cream 19.05.2026 28minThe audacity of buying the good face cream Women can organise everyone else’s appointments, buy everyone else the good stuff, and somehow still feel guilty spending money on a decent moisturiser. In this episode, we’re talking about the strange shame many midlife women carry around pleasure, rest, and doing things purely because we want to. Not self-improvement. Not “wellness.” Not for the family. Just... nice things. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

The Sandwich Club Ep 4 - Friendship 12.05.2026 27minFriendship looks different in midlife — and no one really talks about it. We explore how friendships change over time, the ones that last, the ones that fade, and the effort it now takes to stay connected. Between busy lives, distance, and shifting priorities, we ask what friendship actually looks like now — and what we still need from it. If you’ve ever meant to text back... three weeks ago — this episode will feel very familiar. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

The Sandwich Club Ep 3 – This Is My Body Now 04.05.2026 25minMidlife bodies. No one prepares you. We talk about hair that relocates, eyesight that requires logistics, the rise of the Ahh Bra, full-size knickers, elastic waistbands and the quiet horror of the neck-gina. There’s humour, honesty, and a broader conversation about what it means when your body changes without asking permission. It’s not about fixing anything — just naming it. If your knees narrate your life and lettuce after 7pm is a risk, you’re not alone. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

The Sandwich Club Ep 2 - Second Acts and Third Winds 28.04.2026 28minThis week we’re talking about second acts, third winds, and that quiet sense that something needs to shift. Not dramatic reinvention — just the feeling that the life you worked hard to build might not be the one you want to stay in forever. We talk about ambition in midlife, the fear of starting again, and why change at this stage often looks smaller, slower and more complicated. If you’ve ever opened your laptop and thought “is this it?” — this one’s for you. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

The Sandwich Club Ep 1 - What's this about? 20.04.2026 26minWelcome to The Sandwich Club — for women in the middle of everything. In this first episode, we talk about what it actually means to be “the filling” — holding kids, parents, work, relationships and life admin together, often all at once. Between the humour and the chaos, we share how this podcast came to be and why midlife doesn’t feel anything like we expected. If you’ve ever felt pulled in every direction while still somehow hard to get hold of, you’re in the right place.
