Does Life END At 40?! - Holiday Blues, Midlife Breakdowns & Chaotic Instagram Threads

Su questo episodio

<p>On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the gang are back from their travels and there is <em>a lot</em> to unpack. Ross kicks things off with his dreamy sunrise snorkel with horses in Barbados, while Peter gives a full theme-park debrief after their “holiday of a lifetime” to Universal Studios — including the rides that nearly had him upside-down, inside-out and mildly incontinent.</p><br><p>There’s chaos from Fright Night, jet-lagged 6am adventures, and a heartfelt listener story that leads them into a surprisingly deep chat about turning 40, giving fewer f*cks and finding out who you really are. Abbey dives into her latest passive-aggressive Instagram threads (no context as usual), sparking debates about midlife crises, emotional burnout and why our brains obsess over insults more than compliments.</p><br><p>In the Agony Abs, they help a listener whose partner double-booked their night out during peak firework season — leaving their terrified pooch in the middle. Plus, an emotional email from a mum navigating the reality of her kids moving to the other side of the world.</p><br><p>It’s a warm, chaotic, funny, emotional episode with plenty of wisdom… and even more unintentional nonsense.</p><br><p><strong>00:00 – Intro</strong></p><p><strong>00:18 – Sunkissed Returns &amp; Holiday Catch-Up</strong></p><p><strong>00:55 – Ross’s Dreamy Horse Snorkelling Experience</strong></p><p><strong>01:46 – Saddle Sizes</strong></p><p><strong>03:10 – Movember, Moustaches &amp; the ‘Womb Broom’ Comment</strong></p><p><strong>04:51 – Orlando &amp; Universal Studios Trip</strong></p><p><strong>06:03 – Terrifying Rollercoasters &amp; Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure</strong></p><p><strong>07:20 – Universal Fright Night Chaos</strong></p><p><strong>11:14 – Amazon’s Surprise Gift Delivery</strong></p><p><strong>15:46 – 'Threads' Begin: Passive-Aggressive Instagram Psychology</strong></p><p><strong>17:45 – Life Begins or ends at 40 &amp; Midlife Wobbles</strong></p><p><strong>28:03 – Dinner Plans &amp; Relationship Compromise</strong></p><br><p>Find great deals on the things you love https://www.ebay.co.uk/</p><p>Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com&nbsp;</p><br><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast</p><br><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch&nbsp;</p><br><p>Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/&nbsp;</p><br><p>For more from Peter</p><p>https://twitter.com/petercrouch</p><br><p>For more from Abbey</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy</p><br><p>Our clips channel</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg</p><br><p>#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
