Summary

Today’s episode is a little different. Because lately we’ve been feeling it: the shift into your 40s and 50s is real. Friendships change. Your body changes. Your kids grow up overnight. And somehow you’re expected to keep up with all of it while also looking cute, staying calm, and being everyone’s emotional support system. So we’re zooming out and having the unfiltered conversation about what it actually feels like to grow up in this stage of life — from navigating adult friendships (and learning how to set boundaries without guilt), to dealing with jealousy, comparison, and social media dynamics that no one talks about… but everyone feels. We get into how to maintain close friendships when everyone is busy with work and kids, why your standards shift as you get older, and the “hard truth” that not everyone is meant to come with you into every season. And because it wouldn’t be Lipstick on the Rim without some beauty + body talk, we’re also sharing what’s helped us feel more confident as we age. A Sony Music Entertainment production.
