Podcasts about welcome to your midlife crisis

Shit, Y’all! It’s been a minute! We realize it’s been months since our last episode, but we’ve all been living through this crazy pandemic and… well… energies around here have been low. But we also just marked a year of this craziness and we decided we should acknowledge that (and maybe get back on a regular recording schedule). Join us as we discuss everything we’ve learned in the past year (the good, bad, and ugly). (Sorry about the audio quality! Loni got a new mic and we’re still not accustomed to this whole recording on zoom business). Find us at www.welcometoyourmidlifecrisis.podomatic.net, and tell your friends!

Whew! What a fucking year this has been, eh? Yes, we kindof curled up in a ball and hid from the world for the last half of 2020, but we are still here! This is just a bit of an update on us/year end episode. It’s a hot mess… but what the fuck isn’t these days? We talk a bit about what’s been going on in our worlds, and find some positive things that happened to us this year. Happy Holidays to you all, and may the New Year find us all in a better place (we’re already planning episodes for 2021 and have a couple guests lined up already). Oh!

Katie and Loni are back with an episode they recorded the last week in May. They held off on posting this episode for a couple weeks because it just felt gross to put something light hearted up in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent demonstrations. The bulk of this episode discusses some big changes coming to the podcast format (all good), so listen and see what you have to look forward to!

Katie and Loni are back with a new-ish episode. I mean, it’s new to you, but they recorded it over a month ago. I just edited it and I have no idea what was even said now. Are you listening to the slow unraveling of their minds, or two women just doing their best to make it through this shit with a sense of humor? You be the judge.

The Gals got their socially distant shit together enough to record a new episode. Join in as they discuss current events and how they are coping or not coping with all this. Obviously they weren't able to record in the studio (and won't be for the foreseeable future), so the sound isn't great. But hey... we are all in this shit together, right?

Happy New Year everyone! Katie and Loni are talking about the things that cause our middle-aged insomnia. They also toss around a few ideas about what we can do to help it (just a few though).

In this, our last episode of 2020, Katie and Loni talk GenX and holiday specific mental health issues and triggers with Portland Licensed Clinical Social Worker Shanna Branham. She is witty, insightful, and incredibly kind (and also looks kinda like the human embodiment of Jessica Rabbit)… we found her insights into our generation to be stunningly validating. Although this was intended to go up before Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza, the holiday advice still holds true for all holiday traditions and events. And we hope it starts your 2020 off right.

Katie and Loni are back to talk about anxiety and how it changes as we age. Do you experience anxiety differently now that you did when you were in your 20s? We sure as hell do… maybe it’s better, maybe it is just bad in a different way. Whatever… we’ll figure it out eventually.

Holy shit balls… it has been a while! Here’s the thing, Loni and Katie have been pretty preoccupied by Midlife Crisis shit lately. We know you are feeling their feels. Anyway, there is a weird click in this episode. Katie tried to edit it out. It is still there. Sorry. You are going to want to listen to this one despite the audio anomaly because it is all about the heartbreak of losing our GenX Stars. Ric Ocasek’s recent death kindof triggered a weird flashback to all the big deaths of 2016/17 and we want you all to know it is okay to feel upset about losing these people. You are not crazy. You are not alone. You are not overreacting. They mean a lot to us and it hurts. Find us at www.welcometoyourmidlifecrisis.podomatic.net, and tell your friends!

WE ARE BACK! Like for real back. Sorry about the time away, yo… sometimes things get ahead of us. There wasn’t really a plan for this episode other than catching up with all of you (we missed you). Loni and Katie start off with a bit about what they have been doing in their time away from the show; this conversation morphed into one about the expectations we have for ourselves. Shit gets a bit wild a couple times (but would this even be the podcast you love without a few crazy rants?). We are so glad to be back in the studio!

Is your body starting to do weird shit as you age? Are your joints sore for seemingly no good reason? How many meds are you on? How are your bowels working, yo? Ha! This week Katie and Loni commiserate with each other about their aging bodies and how they don’t work like they did 20 years ago. Join in, as they laugh at this sometimes unfair again process and complain a little about it too. Find us at www.welcometoyourmidlifecrisis.podomatic.net, and tell your friends!

Huh… guess this is a monthly podcast right now. In this new episode The Gals talk to Katie’s childhood friend, and current hairdresser, Michelle Krause! We had a lot of questions for Michelle about how our hair and skin changes in middle age and beyond and she had tons of answers for us. Learn which products to spend your money on and which are total scams. Most importantly, laugh along with us because aging is hard stuff. We still haven’t replaced the broken guest microphone so Loni and Michelle had to share one; please bear with the sound imbalance. This is a good episode and you won’t want to miss anything (and we promise to replace the microphone before we have another guest).

Hey! Happy Effing New Year, listeners! Loni and Katie are back to talk about what bullshit New Year’s Resolutions are and how setting realistic goals may be easier on our middle-aged brains. Katie rearranged her studio and in the excitement of recording in the new space she set up, forgot to select the mixer as input. So basically the sound on this first episode of 2019 sucks because she accidentally recorded the entire episode through the microphone on her computer… which she had her back to. Anyway, instead of making poor Loni drive all the way back over from The Couve to record this episode over, we are just going to roll with it.

2018 is almost over! We hope you are all making it through the winter holidays without too much emotional strife. Katie and Loni are rounding out the year with a conversation about family and how particularly stressful spending time with them can be during the holidays.

Man it has been a while but we are still here and are back with a special midterm election episode. Don’t worry; we aren’t getting preachy about who and what you should vote fore. We just want you to vote! And we also want you to chill the fuck out! Yes, this political stuff is maddening and can be stressful, but this shit should not be preventing you from enjoying your life.

Hey friends, sorry we haven’t posted a new episode in a while. We had a microphone go bad without us noticing so we have been working to fix the sound on a couple episodes before we get them to you. In the mean time we decided to acknowledge National Recovery month (September) by interviewing our first guest! Dean is a friend of the show and always speaks candidly about addiction and his recovery. It is a great conversation and we hope you enjoy it!

We are about ready for summer to be over around here… with all the smoke from forest fires and high temperatures we are finding ourselves quite thankful we recorded a bunch of episodes ahead last spring! For some reason Loni is a bit quiet in this recording (Katie did all she could to level the sound) but this conversation is worth it! No one ever talks about watching our parents age being such a distressing part of middle age (and if we are lucky, our grandparents). Join in as Katie and Loni talk about things like realizing how much their parents have aged in recent years, the difference in the ways we deal with mental health struggles and past generations dealt them, and the helplessness and fear that envelopes us when we are face with our parent’s mortality.

After a few weeks of avoiding the hot studio and doing summer vacation type things Katie finally found the strength to edit a new episode for you! Yay! Join She and Loni as they discuss the lies the “self-care” industry try to make us believe about ourselves, and ponder how coming of age in the “Oprah Winfrey” generation has made us believe we have to achieve some next level Zen bullshit every time we groom ourselves. There are plenty of laughs and inappropriate joking as The Gals get to the bottom of what REAL self-care looks like. Find us at www.welcometoyourmidlifecrisis.podomatic.net, and tell your friends!

Your favorite gals have returned with their new podcast, Welcome To Your Midlife Crisis! Join Katie and Loni as they team up in “gently ushering aging GenXers into a peaceful midlife crisis through real discussions about life’s bullshit, excessive swearing, and a healthy dose of arts & crafts. “ There is something everyone can relate to in this often hilarious take on facing the challenges of staying positive and maintaining your sanity in a world that sometimes seems to be falling apart faster than we can put it back together (hint: The Gals survive as they always have… through arts, crafts, and excessive swearing). Subscribe to Welcome To Your Midlife Crisis on iTunes, Stitcher, PodOmatic, or where ever you get your podcasts and visit welcometoyourmidlifecrisis.wordpres.com to learn more. One note about the Two Artsy Gals Archives: Katie is in the process of formatting and transferring the Two Artsy Gals archives to YouTube. As they are transferred to video we will be removing them from iTunes and PodOmatic etc but the links to all episodes will be updated on our website so you will still be able to search for and listen to all our episodes at twoartsygals.com. (We will leave the most current season of Two Artsy Gals available in podcast from.)
