  The Sandwich Club Ep 22 - The conversations nobody wants to have 15.09.2026 26min

  The difficult conversations that arrive as parents age. Needing help, accepting help and what happens when "I'm fine" clearly isn't the whole story. Not a how to, just grappling with the reality of trying to have that conversation at all.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 21 - The fancy Episode 08.09.2026 27min

  There was a time when a Viennetta meant you had guests coming over, After Eights came out after dinner, and having a microwave meant you'd really made it. In this episode, we're looking back at the food, gadgets, holidays and little luxuries we once thought were incredibly sophisticated. Prawn cocktails. Fondue sets. Duty-free perfume. A phone in your bedroom. A second television. And the almost unimaginable excitement of getting your photos back from the chemist.

  The Sandwich Club - Whatever gets you through the week 18.08.2026 28min

  Join us for a deliberately anti ‘Self-Care’ conversation about what we actually do when life is hard. Chocolate, walking, cancelling plans, seeing friends or hiding from them... and the things we are told count as self-care but absolutely don't. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 15 - The Great Debate – Part One 28.07.2026 28min

  Some questions simply don't have a right answer—but they're far too much fun to argue about. Cash or card? Should guests help with the dishes? Real books or Kindle? QR code menus: brilliant or annoying? Join us as we tackle the great debates of everyday life, where opinions are strong, evidence is questionable, and changing your mind is entirely optional. This is Part One... because we definitely haven't settled the arguments yet. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 14 - Dying Well 21.07.2026 27min

From navigating the health system and making difficult decisions to planning ahead and having the conversations that matter, we're exploring what it really means to die well.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 13 - The Legacy We Leave 14.07.2026 28min

  How do you want to be remembered? In this episode, we're talking about the legacy we leave—not in our wills, but in the memories, traditions, values and everyday moments that shape the people we love. It's a thoughtful, funny and surprisingly uplifting conversation about living intentionally and creating the kind of legacy that lasts long after we're gone.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 12 - I Opened My Mouth and Mum Came Out 07.07.2026 28min

  One day you hear yourself say something and realise—with a mixture of horror and amusement—that it came straight from your mother. The phrases. The opinions. The life advice. Even the sigh. In this episode, we're talking about the ways our mothers shape us, the habits we've inherited, the things we swore we'd never do, and the moments when we find ourselves becoming more like them than we'd ever imagined. We honour Susan's extraordinary grandmother and share a story best saved for after a funeral. Because somewhere between rolling our eyes at our parents and becoming adults ourselves, something shifted. And it turns out they may have known a thing or two after all.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 11 - Money Money Money 30.06.2026 28min

  Money has a funny way of getting louder as we get older. In this episode, we're talking about retirement worries, second jobs, side hustles, budgeting, and the strange things we're willing to spend money on while telling ourselves we need to cut back. We're also exploring whether AI can help us get our finances under control—or whether it's just another thing we're paying for. Most of us thought we'd feel more financially sorted by now. Instead, we're still making it up as we go, just with bigger numbers and slightly more expensive mistakes. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 10 - Marriage, Flying Solo, and realising luck has nothing to do with either 23.06.2026 28min

  Nobody talks much about the middle years of relationships. Not the exciting beginning. Not the dramatic ending. Just the quiet shifts that happen over time. In this episode, we explore marriage, singleness, companionship, freedom, loneliness, and the surprising truth that every path comes with trade-offs. Because whether you're coupled up, single, divorced, widowed, or somewhere in between, it's hard either way—and that's probably more normal than we think. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 9 - Ambition energy and career shifts 16.06.2026 25min

  There was a time when success meant saying yes, working harder, climbing higher, and proving ourselves. These days, we're asking a different questions... Is it worth the energy? Has our ambition changed? Or have we simply become more selective? We're talking careers, second acts, work-life realities, and the growing realisation that success looks very different when time and energy feel more precious than ever. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 8 - We Wore That. In Public. Voluntarily. 09.06.2026 29min

  There was a time when we chose outfits based entirely on how uncomfortable they were — and thought we looked incredible. In this episode, we revisit the fashion, gadgets, and beauty choices we fully committed to... some we wish we still had, and some we would quietly like to forget. A little bit of reminiscing, a lot of youthful confidence, and absolutely no underwire.

  The Sandwich Club Ep 7 - Why on earth did I buy that? 02.06.2026 28min

  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 27min

  The Sandwich Club Ep 5 - The audacity of buying the good face cream 19.05.2026 28min

  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 27min

  Friendship 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 25min

  Midlife 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.
