We still can’t believe she’s here. Our goal, besides not breaking her, is to make you not feel so alone on your journey. Join us as we podcast our way through life as Parents After 40.

WHAT LISTENERS SAY ABOUT PARENTS AFTER 40
“Awesome podcast – great info and adorable dynamic.”
“New favorite podcast. Full disclosure: I love these guys. Ted is one of my oldest friends. We go way back, and I’ve always been taken in by his sense of humor and resilience in dealing with life’s challenges — of which he has endured many. Over the years, I have learned a lot from Ted about what it means to be a man. He and Kathryn were married a couple years back. Since then, I have watched in amazement as Kathryn has begun showing the rest of the world some of the unique aspects of Ted that I have treasured for 40-something years now. Give it a listen!”
