  • Does Life END At 40?! - Holiday Blues, Midlife Breakdowns & Chaotic Instagram Threads
    Nov 18 2025

    On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the gang are back from their travels and there is a lot to unpack. Ross kicks things off with his dreamy sunrise snorkel with horses in Barbados, while Peter gives a full theme-park debrief after their “holiday of a lifetime” to Universal Studios — including the rides that nearly had him upside-down, inside-out and mildly incontinent.


    There’s chaos from Fright Night, jet-lagged 6am adventures, and a heartfelt listener story that leads them into a surprisingly deep chat about turning 40, giving fewer f*cks and finding out who you really are. Abbey dives into her latest passive-aggressive Instagram threads (no context as usual), sparking debates about midlife crises, emotional burnout and why our brains obsess over insults more than compliments.


    In the Agony Abs, they help a listener whose partner double-booked their night out during peak firework season — leaving their terrified pooch in the middle. Plus, an emotional email from a mum navigating the reality of her kids moving to the other side of the world.


    It’s a warm, chaotic, funny, emotional episode with plenty of wisdom… and even more unintentional nonsense.

    00:18 – Sunkissed Returns & Holiday Catch-Up

    00:55 – Ross’s Dreamy Horse Snorkelling Experience

    01:46 – Saddle Sizes

    Nov 11 2025

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the gang are still living their best lives in sunny Portugal — but it’s not all cocktails and calm seas. Abbey spirals into her biggest dilemma yet: how on earth to plan her 40th birthday when every idea feels wrong? Between kitchen renovations, skipped parties, and Peter’s “whatever I do will be wrong” defeatism, tensions are high (and hilarious).


    Ross chimes in with holiday dreams and more chaos ensues as they unpack why every marriage argument somehow ends with builders, bags, or birthday parties. Listeners write in with tales of Fitbit-fuelled competition, friendship ghosting, and family heartbreak — including one letter that has Abbey on the verge of tears.


    Of course, there’s laughter too — from Peter’s golf obsession and dream bench, to Abbey’s life-changing fashion advice that proves every mum can still feel sensational. It’s classic Therapy Crouch: a mix of sunshine, sarcasm, and surprisingly emotional honesty from podcasters abroad.

    16:45 – Abbey calls out Pete for his smartwatch laziness — then a listener’s Fitbit rivalry takes centre stage.

    19:25 – A listener vents about organizing a group gift — and creating a “spreadsheet of resentment.”

    21:20 – Pete reveals the bizarre golf tradition of buying everyone drinks when you get a hole-in-one.

    23:46 – “The Bench Legacy”: Pete’s dream of having his name immortalised on the golf course.

    26:10 – Abbey and Pete discuss fashion fails and why confidence beats trends every time.
