Such A FN Lady

Ep. 52, "Forty, and Peri?...Is That You?!"

Jennifer’s a little hungry. Krystle’s a little hot. And Such A FN Lady is back with another laugh-out-loud, brutally honest episode. 🌸 This week, we’re handing out flowers (metaphorically… sorry, Krystle) and diving into everything from setting boundaries to Suzy Homemaker vibes, tackling motherhood, and trying to stay sane while our bodies betray us at 40+.


We’re keeping it real about perimenopause (hello, night sweats and mood swings), midlife pressures, and the surprising benefits—and pitfalls—of antidepressants. Plus, Krystle breaks down the art of making dinner every night (or not) while Jennifer reflects on how social media makes her feel some type of way. Oh, and Mike Tyson’s thong makes an appearance. You’re welcome.


Join us for the chaos, the commiseration, and a healthy dose of humor as we navigate life, 40, and all the WTFs in between. Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review—we’re here for it! 🎙✨
