What do you do when you hit 42, walk away from a 20-year marriage, and suddenly find yourself back on Hinge wondering what on earth “vibes” and “icks” are?

If you’re Ellie McKay, you reinvent yourself completely and the old version of you would probably be horrified.

In this episode, Ellie spills the tea on everything: from millionaire to homeless, telling her kids about the divorce, dating in midlife, why so many people settle for mediocre (and why she refuses to), and the wild ride of falling in love with her boss. We dive into sex parties, postnatal depression, self-development, and the chaos of working with your mum (spoiler: don’t do it).

Ellie is hilarious, brutally honest, and refreshingly real. This conversation will make you laugh, maybe blush, and definitely think twice about where you’re playing it safe in your own life.

In this episode, we go far beneath the surface, exploring what it really means to be a woman, the tangled layers of family relationships, and the personal cost of choices around career and children. Ingrid shares candidly about panic attacks during intimacy, the lingering weight of never feeling “good enough,” and how her bond with her mother shifts when distance is part of the equation. Together, we dive into the “Love, Lust, Learn” theory, why consent must be taught and reinforced, and the ways silence around “no” can ripple into adulthood. It’s a conversation about identity, resilience, and redefining worth through music, memory, and the stories we’re brave enough to tell. You may find some of these issues troubling.

In this conversation, I sit down with Suzanne Noble, creator of Sex Advice for Seniors, to explore the unexpected twists and turns of later-life sexual discovery. Suzanne opens up about her unconventional journey—from spending two years having only threesomes, to facing friends’ concerns about whether she was bordering on sex addiction.

We dive into the realities of intimacy as we age: vaginal dryness, the liberating truth that sex doesn’t stop in our later years, and the role of vaginal estrogen in women’s sexual health. Suzanne also shares deeply personal stories—being divorced, losing two long-term partners, and embracing a non-monogamous lifestyle. Along the way, we talk French swinging clubs, clothing-optional towns, and a few cheeky hotel room scandals.

This episode is a fearlessly frank look at desire, resilience, and joy at any age—and a reminder that the adventure doesn’t end just because the candles on the cake keep adding up.
