Everything is Fine is a series for women on life over 40. Hosted by former Lucky magazine founding editor Kim France and author and editor Jennifer Romolini, each episode digs deep into the identity shift that comes with navigating this alternately weird and liberating stage of life. A chat-show with themed episodes and interview guests from the media and entertainment worlds, we tackle our fears, our health, our careers, self-care, and how to negotiate being called “middle-aged” when you feel anything but.

Customer Reviews
Love Kim & Jen
I love this podcast, Jen and Kim talk about the real ups and downs of getting older. I love how they find the good in aging and embrace it but they also can’t help griping about it too. They also just crack me up! I really laugh out loud.
Love the show but…
LOVE these ladies and they make my Mondays SO much better AND they need to get some real skincare people on. Suggestions: look up Angie Hot and Flashy on youtube. She is a gem. Lots of derms that wld be good but no idea if they are over 40. I like Dr. Sam Bunting (Brit) and Dr. Sam Ellis (maybe too young). Trinny Woodall wld be a FABULOUS guest, as would Liz Earl (both are Brits with big US following and both have current books to promote. Still I LOVE LOVE LOVE these gals 💜
What an absolute Gem
I recently found this podcast, and without a doubt, it is now my favorite! I have learned a lot from them about art, culture, and the world of beauty for older women. Kim and Jennifer’s musings will have you laughing out loud. Thanks for the tip on Nivea cream as I will be traveling to Germany soon and will be sure to pick up a tin! Thank you ladies!
