The 40’s Project
Welcome to The 40’s Project. Join Abbie and Melissa, two self proclaimed middle-aged country chicks and their microphone “Phallic Phil”, for some real and raw banter about life after 40.

In this episode, we’re talking drought, dodgy politics and turning 50. Throw in some parenting, peri-menopause, volunteering, a kid moving out, and an overseas escape, and you’ve got one hell of a midlife mixtape.

It’s been a long time, but Abbie finally got back to Bali - her happy place. In this week’s episode she shares her latest jaunt hosting “A Real Treat” and their incredible experiences.
The only thing she missed while she was in Bali was Melissa, who refused to sweat bullets into plus sized undies for some zen and cocktails. She is a grumpy bitch this week so maybe she should have gone.
