Welcome to The Wobbly Middle

We spotlight women who have forged bold new paths in their 40s and beyond - who have pivoted, returned after a break, built businesses, and finally taken their long-neglected dreams seriously.

Our new season launches on Blue Monday, 19 January when we figure everyone needs a boost. This season’s theme is Back to School. For Us. Guests include comedians, psychologists and magistrates, all women who changed direction in midlife and started again. We talk returner programmes, short courses and PhDs, comedy school, and how everyone is learning AI at the same time.

We’re tired of our own voices. We want to hear yours too.

Please get involved. If you’ve made a left turn or if you’re taking the scenic route, get in touch. Whether you’ve stalled or you’re revving loudly to go, let us know… We want to hear ALL about it. Subscribe to never miss an update

Every new post and podcast will be sent directly to your email inbox. And top-tip, it’s always best to check your spam box.

Please share far and wide. There are lots of us in the wobbly middle.
