40ish & Figuring It Out is a real, funny, and refreshingly honest podcast about life in your 40s — the messy middle where you’re too old for drama but too young to retire. Host Katie Koelliker dives into the chaos of midlife with humor and heart — from hormones and parenting to purpose and personal growth. No filters, just real talk, relatable stories, and a few laugh-until-you-cry moments along the way. If you’re somewhere between “I’ve got this” and “What the heck am I doing?” — this podcast is your new safe space. ✨ Because no one has it all figured out… but we’re doing pretty damn well for forty-ish.
