From Pajamas to Purpose with Olga Thompson

Welcome back to the podcast! 🎙️

What happens when an award-winning comedienne, actor, and author known as the “Big Fat Greek Mother” gets real about midlife, menopause, and mental health?

Pure magic. In this heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply vulnerable conversation, I sit down with Olga Thompson—comedian, actor, writer, and author of Split Ends and New Beginnings. From growing up in her family’s North London hair salon to surviving breakdowns, raising three boys, becoming a voice for midlife women, and launching her comedy tour My Big Fat Greek Menopause, Olga proves that joy really can be found on the other side of hardship.

🎙️ Highlights:

Why Olga says her life didn’t truly begin until 40.
Surviving breakdowns, burnout, and shame—and choosing joy anyway.
The inspiration behind her book Split Ends and New Beginnings.
How comedy, storytelling, and community help women feel seen in midlife.
The importance of giving yourself grace and creating space for YOU.

This is midlife at its realest—equal parts laughter, tears, and encouragement.
