Why Aren’t We Talking About This? is a series of honest conversations about the stuff we rarely discuss but probably should—big feelings, weird thoughts, life, death, sex and all the messy, beautiful parts of being human.
This is for midlife women who:
Hosted by me, Carly Osman-Holme, on a quest to dodge a full-blown existential crisis. I’ve reached that point in life where I’m asking: How did I get here? What do I actually want? And why didn’t they teach us any of this in school?
My guests and I make room for what we’re still figuring out, helping you understand yourself and others a little better and find the words for what you’re feeling—without worrying that it makes you selfish, ungrateful or a terrible person. Especially when everyone else seems to have their sh*t figured out.
