  • Ouch!

    I was looking for a new podcast (something other than true crime and murder), when I stumbled across Forever35. As an almost 36 year old woman, I’d like to listen to women around my age discussing health, beauty, fashion, etc.

    I was enjoying the first random episode I clicked on, when one of the hosts brutally pointed out that I am now closer to 50 than to 20 years old 😭😭

    While this fact has broken me, I will give this podcast a 5 star rating because that’s the type of hard truth I need to h... more

    Long time listener - I have to say Doree seems so disinterested and down. It’s like she isn’t even listening to what Elise is saying and just responds with canned one-liners “oh funny” “oh interesting” …

  • Elise Does the Heavy Lifting

    Elise does all the work and brings ALL the energy to every episode. I literally listened since the start of F35 and just can’t bear Doree any more because she’s just phoning it in.

    Ew, the Arianna Rebolini interview on 05/19/2025: “When you have health insurance, they are failing you because they make it really difficult to get mental healthcare. So they - they, basically, kind of bully, uh, therapists - mental healthcare providers - uh, out of the system because they make their lives really difficult, they make it really difficult for providers to get, um, get claims approved.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mini-Ep 485: Judge Not By Smell?
Q: What should I do about vitamin C serum smells?
Listen to chemists who explain that color is a better indicator than smell for vitamin C serums; if the color turns brown, it's time to toss, but a salty hot-dog-water smell is common and not necessarily an indicator of spoilage.
Episode 395: Who You Are Without All The Stuff with Hayley DeRoche
Q: How do you view the role of technology and AI in parenting, and why do you reject relying on automation for moments like bedtime?
There is a strong preference for human connection over automation; AI cannot replace the intimate act of comforting a child, and the human bond remains essential even as tools evolve.
Episode 395: Who You Are Without All The Stuff with Hayley DeRoche
Q: What inspired you to write a book based on Sad Beige, and what do you hope readers take away from it?
Craftsman/Norton reached out to adapt Sad Beige into a full book; the aim is to help readers fall in love with who they are as parents outside marketing and consumer culture, and to celebrate their kids as fully themselves without the noise of stuff.
Mini-Ep 444: Spilling the Tee
Q: What have you done to help find your way after a layoff and how can someone maintain perspective as a parent and professional?
They advise reconnecting with core values, using tools like a Life Audit to reflect on what truly brings joy, recognizing that work does not define self-worth, and cherishing time with family while exploring flexible paths like freelancing.
Mini-Ep 483: Soft Pants and Korean Skincare
Q: Hi, I usually travel without checking in a suitcase, and a quart-sized bag never seems like enough space for liquids. Any tips on how to pack fewer liquids and use samples or decanted products?
Doree and Elise provide practical packing tips: edit what you truly need, use travel-sized bottles, request samples from stores, decant into small containers, and prioritize what you can replace at the destination.
