  1. The Midlifers: Celebrating the Privilege of Aging (One Laugh at a Time) girlishgurus 57:18

Laughter really is the best midlife medicine! This week, the Girlish Gurus, Lorraine & Joy, sit down with the hilarious duo behind The Midlifers — Suzette and Lisa — two women on a mission to celebrate aging with humor, heart, and a healthy dose of real talk.

Calling themselves the “tweens of adulthood,” The Midlifers are sharing the ups, downs, and sideways moments of life in the middle. From extinct names to scout badges for midlife milestones (first colonoscopy badge, anyone?), these two are flipping the script on aging and inviting us all to laugh along the way.

💬 What inspired The Midlifers and their mission to celebrate aging through laughter
