From The Hip
Welcome to From the Hip with your fabulously hip hosts Kath and Mish where we celebrate the ridiculous, the folly and the honesty of life-changing experiences of women in their 50s. An authentic podcast that speaks directly to you, however you walk through life.
FTH is a celebration of women connecting via conversation.
And just for the record we'd love men to listen as well!
As women in our 50s who had major life changes, we felt there was a conversation to offer the podscape which celebrates all of our lives with candour and insight.
There will be a plethora of content including Erotic Literature, Work Life, Pet Custody, Generations of Women, Online Dating and Offspring - in fact the content list is enormous.
We do not claim to be experts and so from time to time will engage a fine range of guests who will bring their expert knowledge to the topic at hand. FTH is a weekly download for subscription plus opportunities to connect with the experts.
So follow us on Insta - fromthehip_podcast, on the web at www.fromthehip.live and of course on all your favourite poddo platforms.
And do send us your feedback, questions and/or suggestions - we love audience engagement. We honestly reckon this will be a journey of hilarity and punch – and we trust you will agree – we’ll see you up ahead!
