Best Life Pending with Steph De Sousa & Chrissy Hearn

Podshape

17 episodes · Explicit

Best Life Pending is 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.

More about the show

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.
