The Forbidden Pool Noodle

Episode 5: The Forbidden Pool Noodle

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

In this episode of Pause Pleas3, we dive headfirst (goggles optional) into the absurdity of modern midlife rules — starting with the most pressing question of all: Why are we not allowed to use a pool noodle?

Join us as we laugh through the logic (or lack thereof) behind seemingly harmless things becoming taboo. We unpack the hilarity of being women in midlife navigating rules nobody remembers making. Expect spirited tangents on community pool politics and how the mundane moments — like arguing over a foam flotation device — somehow become the most relatable parts of this wild season of life.

Midlife might be serious business, but we’re keeping it buoyant — with or without the noodle.

Subscribe, share, and take a deep breath — you’re not alone. Let's pause together.
