A show for women over 40

They sold us a brochure.
We’re reading the fine print.

Rachel and Brandy say what women over 40 actually think about careers, bodies, doctors, money and starting over. Unfiltered, funny, and new every Saturday.

Why we made this show

What the brochure promised, and what actually happened.

The brochure said

“Your doctor will connect the dots.”

What happened

“It’s just your age.” Five doctors later, we learned to walk in with the dots already connected.

The brochure said

“Menopause is something that happens around 50.”

What happened

It showed up in our 40s, in the middle of meetings, and nobody at work had a plan for it.

The brochure said

“By 40 you’ll have it all figured out.”

What happened

New careers, new countries, new bodies. Starting over turned out to be the plan.
