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!

Ep 28 : Breaking The Great Silence Menopause Pt 2
Last week, Kath & Mish truthfully admitted they hadn't experienced just how challenging menopause can be for so many other women.
Kristin Bonner is one of them.
She responded to Kathy's callout, and in this no holds barred conversation Kristin takes us through the last 7 years of feeling, at times, like a different person.
Kristin says she wanted to tell her story, because she believes it's time for all women to stop pretending they're ok during what can be one of the most difficult hormonal transitions they'll face.
Even now, menopause is swept under the rug, hidden from employers, family, work mates and friends.
Why is it still so often taboo to talk about?
And what can we all do to bring its impact into the open?
