This podcast has brought me so much insight, hope, smiles, support and much more.

I feel now so much more prepared for what’s next for me as woman, parent and wife, and I know I am not alone.

So much useful information and humour in this podcast! THANK YOU

I look forward to new episodes coming out, always good guests and funny nostalgia noodling! Essential listening for this 47 year old.

Really informative but not full on or heavy, the hosts manage to get really good guests, discuss a huge range of topics where I’m always learning yet find it a pleasure to listen to.

Your podcast is open, honest and very refreshing! Thank you for talking about these issues - I didn’t know what the peri-menopause was either! I just thought I was going mad - still do! I’ve sent the link to all my friends. I loved Marian Keyes podcast; it made me laugh and cry

A really refreshing mix - from serious and educational to lighthearted and hilarious.

There are so many podcasts aimed at mums with small children, so it’s fantastic to find one exploring the challenges of being a parent to teenagers and beyond.

It covers so many topics that I wanted to know about - plus others that I didn’t know I needed to know.

Will be recommending this podcast to my friends.

I’m already hooked - I think Lorraine, Trisha and I are triplets separated at birth! So relatable and packed full of important stuff for us 50 something women who are interested and interesting.

It’s a brilliant podcast and everyone should listen not just women in midlife.

Postcards from midlife is a brilliant discovery- it’s fab! Entertaining but real.....really interesting and informative - I am going to tell all my friends 🥂

I’ve been recommending this to all my female friends of a certain age and it is brilliant. Course perhaps I shouldn’t listen to this on dog walks when laughing or smirking to yourself can make you look like a mad woman, but hey what’s an additional affliction at this age 😂

Informative, witty & highly entertaining. I found myself laughing out loud on the tube. Oops. Going forward I’ll listen in private. Thank god I can now lay blame on my perimenopause state! Tis not my fault.

Really great podcast for women of a certain age. Entertaining, great guests, realistic, helpful and thought provoking - love it

Agreed with all the positive reviews.

Listened to the current and last series, I have even revisited some of the episodes to remind me the info shared.

Interesting guests, topics and reviews. Good balance between chit-chat and more serious commentary. I’m off to check out the recommended YouTube video of Bruce Lee playing table tennis with nunchucks!

This is a super smart podcast with women who who know the right questions to ask their varied guests. Very relatable and fascinating insights. The right mix of serious stuff plus fun.

Informative, funny and moving. Lorraine and Trish are great hosts and can’t wait for the rest of series 2. Finally, a proper podcast for women!

Have been waiting forever to hear people speak about women at this age. And it’s so funny! Finally feel there are people talking about experiences I’ve had.

V refreshing parenting advice. More please!

Just finished Episode 1 Season 2. Made my run fly by and very emotional in a good way because it’s just like listening to very good friends or sisters. More importantly it always breaks new ground, especially on careers, parenting, perimenopause and menopause that just isn’t out there already. If you listen you’ll understand why I laughed out loud, given that as I left the house to go on said run I pointlessly implored my 16 year old to “do something more productive and get out of bed!”. Finally, just like Lorraine, I can live without the hugs but not my lovely office camaraderie. The new normal is not ok!

So informative, helpful & laugh out loud funny. Every 40 + woman needs to listen to this!

I like the podcast and find it very informative, but I can’t tell Lorraine and Trish apart. Their voices are too similar!

Also, in this #metoo age, some of the slobbering over hot, male personal trainers seems out of touch. If the situation were reversed and it was two male Times writers doing the same about female personal trainers there would be an outraged call for their heads!

Informative. Funny. Has changed my daily walks.

Really enjoyed this podcast as a 49 year old woman with 2 teens it definitely resonates. Thanks.

Recently discovered and absolutely loving these relaxed chats so informative thank you

Have loved listening to this series. Only just found it and listened to them all in a few days. Covers such good relatable content. I’ve recommended to friends and can’t wait for series 2.

Recommended to this on another podcast. Only listened to one and I’m hooked, going to be listening to many more 😊Thank you

Really enjoyed listening and looking forward to the next series...take care.

I heard snout this on Christmas Evans and thought I’d give it a go. First ever podcast I’ve taken the time to download and listen. I’ve listed to a few of the episodes several times!! The peri-menopause info has been revolutionary information - thank you!

Your podcast inspired me to go back to GP and ask for a third referral back to the cardio team who took me off HRT after a heart attack 18 months ago. Total hysterectomy 12 years ago meant HRT kept me functioning but I had no idea how much until I was told I could no longer take it. As well as the shock of a MI there was the even bigger shock of life without HRT...night sweats, day sweats, unable to sleep, no memory, aches and pains, boobs seemed to sag(!), prolapse, wrinkles, gave up job as couldn’t cope....basically you name it I got it all within about 2 months.

Hearing the Consultant you had on talking about how essential oestrogen is and how it isn’t the cause of all evils got me researching and realising that I should be able to HRT because I was on oestrogen only. Thankfully the cardiologist has finally agreed and I am pleased to say things are on the up turn again! I try not to think about the last 18 months and focus on the now and the future. I hope that the one size fits all mantra of heart attack = no HRT will one day be reviewed without women having to fight to get their lives back.

I’m on day 5 laid in bed with this coronovirus feeling so terribly ill, and listening to this weeks podcast has given me half an hours respite from the misery. Thank you ladies for being so entertaining.

I just wish the presenters could let each other and their guests finish a sentence. Such a shame as the topics are really interesting but I just can’t bear the interruptions.

Not all people in mid life have children. Some of us have lives beyond children and husbands! Yawn!

I love this podcast. Having recently discovered the hard way that I’m peri menopausal (thought I was going mad / anxiety off the charts / all the anger and rage) I’m now getting medical help & therapy help from the right people and getting a huge dose of laughter from listening every week. Thank you!

Love this podcast. I’m 43 with 2 adolescent boys. Listening to you and your guests is both funny and enlightening. I’m so glad this conversation is now being had;giving women like me a heads up, giving us the information that has otherwise been severely lacking and most importantly empowering us at a time when we feel like we’re loosing control. I’m not on the decline! Lorraine, Trish and your guest have made me feel like this is in fact the next episode... x

Sexist.

Please ask more open questions of your guests though. You have interesting people to interview, but often ask them questions and then talk over them or answer the questions you’ve asked them yourselves.

Brilliant podcast - so informative and funny! Refreshing to have something specifically for the over 40s that’s not old fashioned! It’s been a revelation to finally understand that I’m not the only one feeling the way I do, Thank you

Brilliant podcast! Informative topics for anyone wanting to know more about any midlife issues.

I’m not a podcast listener but I’m slowly trying. I find I’m doing too many things at once & therefore keep missing chunks so have to keep re-playing, takes forever! Anyway I love this, feel like it’s totally made for me. I follow Lorraine Candy on Twitter & always read her column in the Sunday Times Style magazine. She always seems to hit the nail on the head, I feel like I could chat for hours with both her & Trish. Thank you for making this and bringing Midlife more to the forefront of everyone’s minds with wisdom & humour.

Just started to listen to podcasts. Always followed Lorraine candy through reading mags. I’m 49. Going through a tough time. My husband is dying of cancer. This is all going on while going into peri menopause. Listening to women speak about menopause and life in general... is so helpful. Thanks... you are doing a wonderful job

Love it, so funny, educational, informative, real and a perfect duo to listen too! Keep them coming please.

Shared with loads of friends too!

Thank you! Love your podcasts!! What a relief to hear you’re going through the same experiences too.... but you’ve also given me reason not to be sad about this stage of life and to get out there and live life again... with my husband, with my teenagers and with myself!! Looking forward to what’s going to happen next....!!!

When a friend recommended Postcards to me, I had yet to delve into the world of podcasts (as ever, always late to the party!) Well what a revelation. Trish and Lorraine, you’re like two trusted friends, thank you for your honesty...I laugh out loud whilst listening at the gym. In addition you’ve opened up the whole world of podcasts to me.

So glad I’m not alone in where I’m at in life. Can’t wait for the next one.

I listened to all of these back to back , while doing the ironing!!! So relatable and found myself laughing through it , as a mum to 3 sons & 2 stepsons and menopausal!!! I hate ironing but was so absorbed in listening managed a whole basket !!! Can’t wait fir the next instalment

The podcast I’ve been waiting for all my midlife - absolutely love it!

Love, love, love this! So informative, but real and hilarious at the same time. Gave me huge hope at fabulous fifty 🤩

2 episodes in and already feeling like I have the counsel of 2 mates to help guide me through the maze of midlife.

Love it, mother of 2 teenage boys and can relate so much to this podcast. Listen while walking the dog with a fixed grin like a mad women x
