Warning: This episode contains strong language. 


Kate Thornton is as frank and funny as ever, and this week she joins Gabby to talk about everything from single motherhood and presenting prime time Saturday night telly, to the power of talking therapy and recovering from an eating disorder. Kate speaks about the importance of female friendships and how her girl gang are her life raft, and also why her happiest times have been the years she has been a mum to her son, Ben. Kate speaks openly about her ongoing experience of the menopause, and why the right doctor is as fundamental as the right therapist when you’re a middle aged woman.

There’s a particular kind of energy that comes with the middle of life-a mix of experience, shifting priorities, and a few unexpected physical and mental curveballs. On The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan, broadcaster Gabby Logan leans into that phase with curiosity and frank humour. Each conversation moves beyond the surface, as Gabby sits down with familiar names to unpack their personal midlife stories, from career pivots and family dynamics to the very real changes in health and fitness. This isn’t just anecdotal; the discussions are thoughtfully informed by specialists, whether that’s a nutritionist reframing diet, a sleep scientist, or a doctor explaining hormonal shifts. The result is a podcast that feels like a series of honest, reassuring chats with friends who aren’t afraid to ask the real questions. Listeners will find a space that normalises the complexities of this life stage, offering both relatable stories and tangible takeaways for navigating one’s own midpoint with more clarity and a lot less shame.
