Love, Lust, and the Jaguar Era Sarah’s divorced, 50-something, and dating again—and spoiler: she’s thriving. This episode is full of stories, truths, and bold opinions about what it actually feels like to fall in and out of love now. We talk about: What dating in your 50s feels like (honestly? different… and kinda fun) Why we should literally only date when we don’t care what happens 😏 The surprising power of “I’m good either way” energy What it means to enter your Jaguar Era (aka: older, hotter, smarter, and kinda into younger men) Why this kind of dating feels more honest, less performative—and how it makes sex/love/life more REAL The glow-up that happens when you’re choosing from desire, not fear And how Sarah’s redefining what partnership (and freedom) actually look like now This one’s playful, empowering, and maybe just enough to make you re-download the apps… or delete them and go flirt at Trader Joe’s instead. Listen if: You’re newly single, long-term partnered, or just want to remember how f*cking vibrant you still are. New episodes drop every Sunday morning.

YOU'RE NOT GETTING A TROPHY - STUPID RULES
Weird Rules, Platypus Wisdom, and Blonde Ambition In this episode, Sarah and Michele basically say: screw the rules (unless they’re fun, useful, or involve snacks). We’re talking about: Stupid rules we are officially not following anymore Why no one gets a trophy at the end of life for "having the most shoes" Michele's new blonde era Platypuses (yes, seriously) and how they can completely shut down fertility—and why we should be able to do that too Our plans for fall: travel, year-end biz prep, and NOT going out with a bang if we’re tired How Sarah’s clients are closing the year This is a kitchen table, mess-on-the-floor, plans-and-philosophies kind of episode. Find your own weird rhythm. Wear what you want. Book the flight. Paint your kitchen. And above all—stop following rules no one even remembers creating.

DANG WE OLD - RETIREMENT? ALREADY?
Plans are being made. Europe is calling. And absolutely no one is mowing a lawn. This whole retirement thing? Yeah… it snuck up on us. In this episode, Michele and Sarah ask the big questions ... Are we really old enough to be thinking about retirement? What does freedom actually look like now? And are we packing our bags for Europe, or just fantasizing out loud again? (TBD.) We talk about: The retirement fantasies no one warned us we’d actually want Why we’re not interested in golf carts and matching windbreakers The dream of travel, time, and finally doing nothing—on purpose What we hope midlife freedom actually feels like And how planning your “next chapter” doesn’t have to mean winding down Come for the laughs, stay for the mini existential unraveling. (Spoiler: We don’t have a 401k strategy, but we do have snacks and opinions.)

Doritos & Cheetos. Better Than Sex.
This is an episode about our mini-addictions - mostly food. But not in a “meal prep and macros” kind of way. No, this is about the other food moments… The ones where you're alone, no one’s watching, and you suddenly think, "What do I actually WANT?" In this episode, Sarah and Michele reveal: The mini food “addictions” we’re not trying to fix (but definitely talk to ourselves about) Why being alone with snacks is our personal holiday How Michele lowkey plans grocery trips like logistics operations Why Sarah cannot—not even for a second—be alone with a family-size Dorito bag And the question no one asked but we definitely answered: Is food usually better than sex? Funny. Confessional. Slightly shameful. Completely human. This is your non-judgmental food confession corner, brought to you by two 50-something women who’ve eaten peanut butter straight out of the jar... and would do it again. 🌿 New episodes every Sunday at 7am ET 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your real-talk with a side of snacks 👯♀️ See us on IG: @talkshitandlaugh Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-shit-and-laugh/id1833034299 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6J16PGZiWtQdWat83ULW3O Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/66e7c860-dcf4-4ca2-bdf5-bacc3901d510/talk-shit-and-laugh iHeartMusic - https://iheart.com/podcast/289659802 Sarah Walton - YT Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@thesarahwalton Website - https://www.sarahwalton.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesarahwalton Michele Wang- YT Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@themichelewang Website - https://www.themichelewang.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themichelewang

No Boss. No Pants. No Problem.
Let’s be honest: we’re not built for middle management. In this episode, Sarah and Michele get real (and a little unhinged) about the deep joy of working for ourselves in our 50s—and why we’re never going back. From throwing in a load of laundry between client calls to…uh…passing gas in peace (Michele), this is a love letter to freedom, flexibility, and unapologetic comfort. We talk about: The moment we knew we couldn’t have a boss ever again Why saying “I’ll circle back” makes our souls wilt The power of working in stretchy pants, with snacks How entrepreneurship lets you design a life that fits your rhythm—not your old commute Michele’s now-infamous elevator story ("Is everything alright in there, ma'am?") This one’s part hilarious, part permission slip: If you’ve ever thought “I just want to do my own thing and not answer to anyone,” — welcome. You’re not crazy. You’re just built (like us) for freedom. 🌿 New episodes every Sunday at 7am ET 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your real-talk with a side of snacks 👯♀️ See us on IG: @talkshitandlaugh Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-shit-and-laugh/id1833034299 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6J16PGZiWtQdWat83ULW3O Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/66e7c860-dcf4-4ca2-bdf5-bacc3901d510/talk-shit-and-laugh iHeartMusic - https://iheart.com/podcast/289659802 Sarah Walton - YT Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@thesarahwalton Website - https://www.sarahwalton.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesarahwalton Michele Wang- YT Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@themichelewang Website - https://www.themichelewang.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themichelewang
We’re Sarah Walton and Michele Wang, two 50-something women who’ve been friends for over 25 years—and all we really want to do is talk some sh*t and laugh our asses off. Not everything has to be “a breakthrough” or “next-level” or “the 5-step path to becoming your best self."
We promise you: no important lessons will be taught and no deep dives will be taken.
We’re officially overwhelmed and drowning with all the self-help, get-better information out there and frankly we’re at full capacity.
We just want to hang out and we want nothing more than for you to join us.
So welcome to Talk Shit and Laugh (TSAL)—a weekly podcast for women, where two lifelong friends, talk about all the random sh*t rolling around in their heads.
We’re tired of pretending we’re fine, sick of fixing ourselves, and deeply craving something real.
We promise:
No important lessons will be taught
No gratuitous self-help
Just wildly honest conversations about the things keeping us up at night... or making us snort-laugh.
We talk friendship, aging, health, relationships, reinvention, midlife identity crises (plural), and the deeply underrated power of laughing your damn face off—even when the topics are heavy.
We won’t always know what we’re talking about next. But that’s kind of the magic. It’s real, it’s heartfelt, and it’s unfiltered—like the group chat you actually want to be in.
Whether you’re cooking, commuting, or hiding in your bathroom (or pantry) for a few minutes of peace—TSAL is here to remind you that you’re not alone—and you're definitely not done.
Subscribe now, pour yourself something fabulous, and join this community to talk sh*t and laugh.
Welcome. We’re so freaking glad you’re here.
