Finding Foundations
Finding Foundations is a podcast for women navigating midlife who are done with the polished version of life.
Hosted by Karen Thom from The Foundation Studio, each episode is one woman's real story not the Instagram highlight reel, the truth about what it takes to find solid ground when life changes
Three questions every time:
What's the one truth you've come to know on your journey?
How do you live it every day, even when things feel impossible?
How does it feel today to see how your life has changed?
We talk to women who've switched careers, started over, or just decided "sod it, I'm doing this differently" plus experts on money, sex, and health who'll tell you what you actually need to know.
New episodes weekly.
Launch event 26th March - eyes peeled for more news soon.
