Your host Jane introduces Wingwoman Caroline Rust and they start with how they actually met before digging into the Discover Your Second Half event which launches soon.

From there the conversation opens out into Caroline's "radical candour" take on cutting through curated social media, the risk of treating AI as a 24-hour therapist, and her own decade-long perimenopause journey before the word was even common.

They talk about why chasing a past version of yourself is a myth, the shift from quantity to quality in friendships, and how wearables can quietly feed anxiety.

Caroline also shares her practice of "being bored again". Reclaiming stillness and tuning inward.

Jane and Andy get together for a long-overdue catch-up.

Neither of them expected the conversation to include bum holes and bumps, but that's where it went!

Poor Jane has been in the wars for the last six weeks, but she shares her stories and her top tips for moving from feeling like a victim to becoming a victor by focusing on what she can do.

Something exciting is also brewing for women in Norwich who are navigating their Second Half transition, so listen in to hear all about it.

Enjoy!
