- Excellent episode - We are the Punk Generation
Such a great episode reminding midlife women of all we have achieved. Excellent takeaways such as the reminders that everyone is learning on job, AI is new to us all and that we are an important yet overlooked demographic who can make a valuable contribution to a company.

What I love about this podcast is that even if you are not in your ‘wobbly middle’ these interviews are imbued with the language of navigating the workplace. So helpful! So much to discuss. So much to learn. Well done Patsy and Susannah.

United Kingdoma year ago - My new favourite podcast!
This podcast strikes a chord in so many ways. For all the challenges we face as women, mothers, middle-aged and beyond. Hearing these women share their personal stories is both reassuring (you’re not alone) and inspiring (what are you waiting for?). The stories are diverse and yet all have a common theme, how to find your way when either your landscape has changed, or you’re after something different. More please!
Apple Podcasts5gigiukUnited Kingdoma year ago - A great companion
This is a great companion for women (even if you’re not in that wobbly middle). The guests and discussions have been truly inspiring and insightful, and a great help in navigating life when you’re at a crossroads, uncertain of what to do and where to go next, and exploring the possibilities. Additionally, it helps qualm those insecurities of how well you are doing and gives you real perspective. Love it!
