Now, my fashion friend. Guess why I'm not wearing today. Oh, it's not Nickas again is it? No, I do wear Nickas.

Joey from Friends. Today, I am not wearing a bra. I am wearing a

bra-let. Now, which is what we talked about in Summer Recipes last week.

The bra, let it's a modern thing young women wear. Mine, Trish, is from Kim Kardashian's range. And you know why I'm not wearing a bra?

Because Jillian Anderson told me I didn't have to wear one on Instagram last week because she's not going to wear one ever again.

She said the one comfortable. Yes, I saw that. She's sort of letting it all hang loose, but I don't think she'd approve of your bra-let.

I think that's cheating. I think it's all or nothing. I'm going to go around and show her later on because she's listening to me.

I'm just going to knock on the door and I'm going to say Jillian. It's my bra-let, okay. What do you think about that, Trish?

And can you come on the show? That as well. Yes, while I'm there, yeah.

Hello! Welcome to Postcards from Midlife. I'm Lorraine Candy. I'm Trish Halpin and we're on the mission to help you make the most of your magnificent midlife.

We'll be tackling everything from mind and body wellness to HRT and your sex drive. Lorraine and I here to help you have a stylish second act

and answer all your midlife questions on fashion, beauty, careers, relationships, family and as always the challenges and joys of parenting teams.

Welcome everyone to your quiet happy corner of midlife. Now this episode should feel like a relaxing cup of coffee with your friends,

a relief from everything else that's happening around you right now, isn't that right, Trish?

Well, indeed it is. Listeners often say they feel like they're on the sofa with us chatting when they listen.

And just this week, one of our wonderful Facebook group members, Nidia, left a very cheering message for us.

As she said, I listened to the episode with Josie Lloyd and passed it on to all my friends and family.

It's brilliant and relatable. I love all of the podcasts, the jibba jabba, the real topics, the speakers and the abundance and vulnerability is heartfelt.

Well, that's what we are, Trish. Isn't it an abundance of vulnerability?

I love that. I think when you get to midlife though, sharing problems and chatting them through is very important because midlife women are especially wise.

And this week, we are going to be chatting and sharing in abundance with our newly acquired Agony Ant Superhero capes on.

Yes, we will. We'll be answering some Agony Ant dilemmas in jibba jabba before moving on to interview one of the country's leading campaigns for gender and racial equality.
