Cougar College
We are on a midlife mission to know it all (not a midlife mission to teach middle age women how to pick up young men......sorry ladies!)
Journey along with us as we learn something new every week…..from the rules of football, to how to grieve well, to the ‘joys’ of menopause….there’s no topic off the table!
‘If you don’t grow, you decay’, ya’ll. And we are living proof that growth can be loud, messy, and at times, hilarious.
Smart, funny and fiercely real…..tune in, grab your Cougar Cocktail and end your day wiser than when you began it.
Welcome to Cougar College, Ya'll.

Episode 29 - Time Traveling through the Empire of Excess to the Age of Restraint with Parker Esque

In Episode 29 – We step into a world of powdered wigs, gilded salons, and unapologetic indulgence before crossing the threshold into the buttoned-up discipline of Victorian society. Joining us from her studies at Aberystwyth in Wales🏴, Parker guides us through the dazzling contrasts between Rococo extravagance and Victorian propriety, unpacking the art, fashion, scandals, and social codes that defined each era. It’s a dramatic journey through beauty, rebellion, morality, and transformation—revealing how wildly different periods still shape the way we see culture, class, and self-expression today!! ⚜️
And may you end your day wiser, Cougars!!!
