  • Face off with Holly & Dr Naomi

    Holly asked all the wrong questions and just doesn't really understand why people like to age with some 'enhanced' grace - Felt the Dr squirming a bit and that was

    obvious in her answers

    Its a personal choice to 'tweak' your face - but it's done for yourself to make you happy , not for others

  • Highly recommend

    Holly is a legend. Poetic intros plus nuanced, funny, and touching conversations. I am twenty five years away from “mid” but I still get so much out of it! // PS Please don’t have Naomi McCullum on again. She is far too invested in her cosmetic surgery business and gives disingenuous answers about the normalization of cosmetic work. At the very least, serious questions about the normalization of cosmetic surgery need to be asked of the guest.

    I usually enjoy this podcast but this episode was terrible! So many inaccuracies and generalisations, a pedestrian conversion with neuroscience catch phrases thrown in. Arrogantly didn’t bother using Australian units or conversions. Please do yourself a favour and see your GP instead.

  • MID by name, mid by nature

    I tried to stay with MID. I really did.

    I wanted to believe it was a space for women who care — about life, about culture, about each other, about the world.

    Among all the fun girlie interviews and tender ponderings about how women are feeling about themselves and their lives — something just felt… off. Deeply off.

    I felt genuinely dissociative a number of times after each episode.

    Separated from reality like a 1950s housewife.

    At first, I couldn't name the discomfort. I just felt the ick — ... more

  • Incredible content

    “MID” by Holly Wainwright is exactly the podcast I didn’t know I needed. With her signature wit, warmth, and razor-sharp insight, Holly opens up the often-overlooked world of midlife with refreshing honesty and humour. She tackles everything from identity shifts, relationships, parenting teens, body changes, career pivots, and all the messy, beautiful contradictions that come with being a woman in the middle.

    What sets this podcast apart is Holly’s ability to make you feel seen. Whether she’s f... more
