Friends! We’re back for Season 2 and we’re easing in the only way we know how: “Hey girl, hey,” a little chaos, and an honest check-in about what midlife is really doing to us.
In this Just Us episode, we talk midlife feelings, women’s health, and friendship…starting with the story behind Nic’s surprise basal cell carcinoma and Mohs surgery (which turned into a much bigger facial deal than expected) and what the aftermath felt like physically-emotionally-existentially. From there, we tumble into the tender: why mortality starts whispering louder at this age, the weird dread Jen feels when Parker simply leaves the driveway, and how we’re all just trying to stay present instead of panicked.
Then we zoom out: What surprised us most about Season 1, what made us proud, and what we want Season 2 to look like (Spoiler: More women, reality, laughs and lived experience, and more “you’re not broken” energy.) Plus, the dream guest list is revealed. It’s spicy!
There's an amazing lineup of guests coming up. Pull up a chair or put us on in the background, grab a sip or a snack, and join us.
