Chrissy and Steph get candid about body image, weight, ageing, cosmetic procedures, and the way we speak to ourselves. Plus, they unpack why accepting a compliment or even a little help can sometimes be harder than giving it See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A game of “Would You Rather” gets surprisingly deep as Chrissy and Steph tackle alcohol, addictive tendencies, menopause, HRT and the ultimate battle between money and identity. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we’re talking all things menopause - the brain fog, rage, aches and pains, sleepless nights and all the things nobody warned us about. We share our own experiences, have a very honest chat about HRT, relationships and needing a little more space, and somehow end up debating whether separate bedrooms might actually be the secret to a happy marriage.

Chrissy and Steph reveal the little luxuries they’re finally spending money on from cosmetic tweaks and Korean skincare to nails and cheeky business class upgrades. Plus, Chrissy shares exactly how she feels about the post 50 neck! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is it ever too late to blow things up and start again? Chrissy and Steph talk career changes, confidence, relationships, finding your worth and the small ways you can reinvent yourself without changing your entire life. Plus, why women over 50 might just be the most overlooked generation out there, and the simple challenge to take one step towards the version of yourself you actually want to be.

A quick bonus that starts with a few harmless “Would You Rather” questions and somehow ends up covering death, starting over on social media, online fame and whether platforms are doing enough when things go seriously wrong. Light, heavy and very us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Getting older comes with aches, brain fog and a few extra tablets but it also comes with freedom. Chrissy and Steph talk menopause, weight, money, relationships, people pleasing and why they’re finally done carrying everyone else’s mental load. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chrissy has a new obsession… blind boxes, Sunny Angels, Hironos and basically anything tiny, cute and completely unnecessary. So naturally, she decides Steph needs one too. Will Steph finally understand the joy of opening a mystery box and become just as obsessed? Absolutely not. But Chrissy isn’t giving up that easily. From being mistaken for someone buying toys for her grandkids to spending money on things that simply make her happy, this bonus episode is a very important reminder: sometimes you don’t need to justify what brings you joy. Even if everyone else is judging you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are officially wing women, and we want you to come along for the ride! In our very first episode, we talk about how an unexpected DM turned into a friendship, why life after 40 and 50 can feel like starting all over again, losing people you love, finding confidence, menopause, ADHD, changing careers and finally giving yourself permission to ask: what do I actually want from the rest of my life?

Best Life Pending with Steph De Sousa & Chrissy Hearn a podcast for women over 40 who are done pretending they have it all figured out. We're here for the career pivots, the messy divorces, the friendships that end without warning, and the hot flushes nobody prepared us for. No filters, no fake positivity, no pretending aging is a graceful glide into irrelevance. Every week, we take the conversations women usually only have after two glasses of wine and put them on the record: funny, honest, occasionally uncomfortable, always real. We're not here to fix you. You're not broken. We're here to remind you that reinvention doesn't have an age limit, and neither does laughing at yourself. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
