About this listen

 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.2025 Social Sciences

  • Why We Hate Forced Fun (And Why It Feels So Awkward)

    Why We Hate Forced Fun (And Why It Feels So Awkward)
    Feb 22 2026

    We started talking about social situations we don't enjoy, but quickly realized the real issue is forced fun. From corporate retreats to weddings and holiday parties, we unpack why mandatory enjoyment feels so uncomfortable — and why so many of us secretly dread it.

    Budget Queens… Except When We're Not
    Feb 15 2026

    In this episode of Talk Sh*t & Laugh, we're breaking down what we're cheap about and what we'll happily spend money on—no hesitation. From everyday things we refuse to overpay for to the categories where we're total spendthrifts, this conversation gets very honest and very funny.

  • We Didn't Expect This to Get So Deep

    We Didn't Expect This to Get So Deep
    Feb 8 2026

    In this episode of Talk Sh*t & Laugh, we didn't expect things to get quite so deep. Inspired by a conversation we heard on the Mel Robbins podcast about the Cornell Legacy Project, we talk through the five life lessons people say matter most at the end of life — and share how we honestly feel about them, how we're doing in our 50s, and where we still struggle when it comes to relationships, happiness, regret, and what really matters.
