WTF Just Happened? | Midlife Podcast for Women 40+
WTF Just Happened? is a midlife podcast for women over 40 navigating the messy, funny, heartbreaking, and completely unexpected parts of this stage of life.
Hosted by best friends Hilary Brophy and Sada James, WTF brings real conversations about menopause and perimenopause, relationships and marriage, divorce, grief and widowhood, dating after 40, weight loss and midlife health, friendship breakups, aging parents, and finding yourself again in midlife.
Through honest conversations, personal stories, and expert guests, Hilary and Sada talk about the things women are actually going through — the body changes, relationship changes, loss, love, friendships, family, sex, health, and those moments that leave you wondering, “What the fudgicle just happened?”
No pretending we have it all figured out. Just two best friends having the conversations women in midlife need to hear — with plenty of humor along the way.
Life didn’t go as planned. Neither did ours.
