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
What started as a chat about our last meal ever turned into a full-blown confession corner about nostalgic junk food, fast food favorites, and forbidden childhood snacks we still think about (and still indulge in occasionally). In this episode, Sarah and Michele dig into: Our ultimate last meal requests - warning: you may hear more swallowing than normal … these are good Which fast-food settles Michele’s stomach French fries that ruin you for all other fries (yes, there’s a ranking, and flaccidity matters) The pull of “fry sauce” in Sarah’s teenage years - and is that still a thing in Utah? Come hungry and unhinged—because this one goes deep into the snack archives. This episode is basically what happens when two 50-something women let down their salad defenses and tell the truth about the foods that raised them (and may still haunt their doordash carts from time to time). Whether you're commuting, folding laundry, screaming into a pillow, or hiding in your pantry for 20 minutes of peace—Talk Shit and Laugh is your new weekly ritual for real friendship, midlife magic, and unfiltered fun.

Join us—Sarah and Michele, two unfiltered 50-something women—as we dive deep into how growing up glued to 1980s television, toys, and movies totally shaped who we are today (for better… and for hilarious worse). From Jake Ryan being our first crush (and still the perfect man) to Back to the Future sneakily directing our career dreams, we’re calling out the ridiculous ways 80s pop culture shaped our worldview—and our personalities. Spoiler: we turned out OK. Mostly. In this episode, we laugh (a lot) through: Our favorite 80s movies and the very specific men we crush-dreamed about The toys that defined childhood: Strawberry Shortcake, Collego, Atari, and those tiny plastic shoes that doubled as weapons That time Michele’s TV broke and her parents refused to replace it… for three years The weird but glorious chaos of growing up Gen X (no phones, no oversight, no Pinterest snacks) It’s funny. It’s nostalgic. It’s us—laughing our way through everything that made us... us. Whether you're commuting, folding laundry, screaming into a pillow, or hiding in your pantry for 20 minutes of peace—Talk Shit and Laugh is your new weekly ritual for real friendship, midlife magic, and unfiltered fun.
