About this listen

Two Gen X friends reconnect in Broken Arrow in their 50s and talk through the real-life chaos of midlife.

In our very first (and very unofficial) episode, we break in the podcast equipment and talk about how two lifelong Gen X friends from a small Oklahoma town ended up living in Broken Arrow, OK in our 50s. We dive headfirst into the chaos of midlife together—friendship, teens, empty nests, hot flashes, community, and fresh starts.

We cover everything from raising teens and empty nests to HOCO snacks, TikTok shopping, garage sale fails, Gen X nostalgia, and why you should never leave your purse in the car. It’s unfiltered, fun, relatable, and exactly how we talk in real life — welcome to BA Besties and the midlife chaos we’re surviving together.

Keywords: midlife friendship, Gen X women, women over 40 podcast, women over 50 podcast, midlife humor, midlife reinvention, Broken Arrow podcast
