Unfiltered-ish
Three smart, hilarious, middle-aged women walk into a podcast and forget to censor a thing. Unfiltered-ish is what happens when business friends-turned-besties grab a mic and let real life roll: the wins, the meltdowns, the marriages, the midlife shifts, and everything in between. It’s funny, messy, heartfelt, and way too relatable.
If you’ve ever wanted to eavesdrop on the kind of unfiltered conversations that usually stay between friends, pour a drink and pull up a chair because they said it all out loud, and you’ll be glad they did.

What’s actually on your bucket list in midlife — and who do you want to experience it with?
In this episode of Unfiltered-ish, the one where we make a midlife bucket list together, Natali, Carina, and Nikki record in person while planning future trips, shared experiences, and the things they want to do in their 40s and beyond.
What starts as a light conversation quickly turns into a fun, honest look at friendship, travel goals, and how priorities shift in midlife.
They talk about:
- Creating a midlife bucket list with friends
- Travel dreams like Korea, Japan, Europe, and luxury retreats
- Unique experiences like Korean spa transformations, surfing camps, hot air balloon rides, and staying in castles
- Why shared experiences matter more than checking things off a list
- Trying new things after 40 (even the ones that feel uncomfortable or unexpected)
- Redefining fun, adventure, and what feels worth the effort now
They also come up with a new idea:
each friend plans a “bucket list trip” and the others have to come, even if it’s something they wouldn’t normally choose.
Along the way, the conversation includes everything from dance parties and cooking classes to planetariums, wild donkeys in Arizona, and the reality of balancing ambition with actually enjoying your life.
If you’re building a bucket list in your 40s, craving more fun or travel, or thinking about how to create meaningful experiences with friends, this episode will feel relatable, light, and inspiring.
Unfiltered-ish is a women’s podcast about midlife, friendship, travel, personal growth, and the conversations we don’t always say out loud.
