Forty Drinks: The Podcast About Turning 40

Sometime around age 40 (+/-) you might start feeling like some part of your life no longer fits and you don’t know what to do about it. It could be at work or at home – or simply inside of you. You might be asking questions like, “How did I get here?” Or, “Is this all there is?” “Is this what I’ve been working so hard for?” Or, “Why aren’t I happier?” Growing out of her own experience turning 40, Stephanie McLaughlin became captivated by the big “four oh,” and how people handle the milestone birthday. On The Big Four Oh Podcast, Stephanie has conversations with people about their life experience around turning 40. This birthday often comes wrapped in larger life changes, whether it’s a newfound search for meaning, accepting your mortality, or shedding all those things you did because some external authority said you “should.” Her mission is to make it common cultural knowledge that there IS a transition most of us face around age 40, and then showcase so many versions of that transition that every single person approaching, or recently turned, 40 with dread in their heart, knows that they are not alone. I know you don’t want to call it a midlife crisis, so I won’t, but “if the glove fits, you must acquit.” 😉
