THE +FORTY AF PODCAST

Roses Die.. Standards Don't

Valentine's Day gets a reality check in this candid and hilarious episode, as Obafeyikemi and Dunke skip the rose-tinted glasses and dig into what love actually looks like when you're a grown woman who knows her worth. What starts as a breezy chat about "Red Heart Day" — and why flowers are basically just a slow death you put in a vase — quickly evolves into something far more meaningful. The ladies reflect on how their expectations of love have shifted with age: from grand romantic gestures to wanting a partner who actually knows you. Cue a gorgeous story about a 70-something husband reading a love letter to his wife of 50 years that almost had everyone in tears — proof that real love isn't curated for Instagram, it's dependable and deeply earned. From Galentine's celebrations to love languages, communication, and the idea of creating your own personal "operating manual" for relationships, this episode is warm, funny, and genuinely wise. It wraps with a juicy teaser for their next topic — boundaries — because as Dunke puts it, "If you want me and my best self, I need my boundaries." Funny, relatable, and utterly grown — this one's for every woman who's outgrown the teddy bear. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Bifocals Over Butterflies

Dunke and Obafeyikemi are serving unfiltered truth about love after 40 with zero apologies. They've traded rose-coloured glasses for bifocals and peace—and they're not looking back. From navigating divorce to finding mature partnership, these two break down why butterflies are overrated (hello, settled nervous systems!), why younger men might actually get it (Dunke's not fully convinced though), and how trusting your gut becomes non-negotiable. They're done with emotional fixer-uppers and ready for kindness, safety, and someone who can handle their full complexity with their full chest. This is the conversation for women who've walked through enough decades to know exactly what they don't want—and aren't afraid to choose themselves first. Authentic, bold, and refreshingly honest, with just the right dose of "I woke up high-energy today" chaos. Perfect for: Women 40+ ready to stop making excuses and start demanding peace in their relationships—or perfectly content flying solo with good friends and zero drama ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Grace, Goals and the 2026 'Villan' Era

In this return episode, Dunke and Obafeyikemi ease back into the podcast with honesty, humour and a clear intention for 2026: less performing, more living. They talk about giving themselves (and others) grace after a heavy season, and stepping into an that’s all about boundaries, self-trust, and moving with purpose—without guilt. The conversation reframes January as a settling month, not a sprint: quiet the noise, reset your system, and listen for your own voice again. From completing long-delayed goals (including a poetry book) to reclaiming creativity and dreaming audaciously, they emphasise faith, possibility, and practical agency—focus on what you can control, let go of what you can’t, and take the next step even if you don’t yet know how it will all come together. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
