Talk Shit and Laugh

About Talk Shit and Laugh

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.

Published 4 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Right? All the hay was rolled up. All the animals were fed. You mowed the lawn. Whatever. Yeah. We don't have a visual cue anymore. Right? And so we never feel done. Yeah. And that kills motivation because we've got to feel like we're getting stuff done. So I used to say to people, do the dishes, do something small. And now I don't know that this is right. And I'm sort of second guessing myself a little bit, but I'm having people go to AI for a few minutes because one of the reasons we all love using AI, especially as business owners, is it gives us dopamine hits.
