Found at 40
Turns out, life doesn’t come with a manual — but it does come with a podcast.
Found at 40 is a funny and honest look at what we’ve learned now that we’re finally old enough to know better (and still occasionally do it anyway).
Each week, guests over 40 share their best lessons, hilarious moments, and wisdom that only comes from surviving the ultimate group projects of marriage, motherhood, and careers.
Because midlife isn’t a crisis — it’s just incredibly well-researched content.
