This is one of those conversations that feels like sitting down with two smart, funny friends who say the things you’re thinking.

In this episode, Lauren is joined by Maggie Gallant, a former stand-up comic and owner of the Truly Terrific Tea Company, for a candid conversation about aging, beauty standards, and the often-complicated choices women face as they age.

Maggie opens up about her recent cosmetic procedure—why she chose to do it, and the unexpected emotions that came with it. She and Lauren dig into the tension between wanting to feel good in your skin and the pressure to look a certain way, especially as you age. They explore how much of that decision is personal and how much is shaped by a culture that still struggles with women aging.

If you’ve ever thought about doing “a little something,” if you’ve felt conflicted about how you’re aging, or if you’re just tired of pretending it’s all fine—this conversation is for you.

Patricia Greer is a Houston radio icon turned culinary renegade—and her story is as bold and flavorful as the food she creates.

As a child, Pat snuck around the kitchen, cooking before she was even allowed to touch the stove. Inspired by the magic in her grandmother’s meals, she knew early on that food, made with love, could be a force for healing. And she proved it—again and again.

In this soulful and spirited conversation, Pat shares how she transformed a dilapidated crack house into Pat Greer’s Kitchen, a Houston staple serving up vegan, raw, and gluten-free snacks infused with intention and joy.

But her journey didn’t stop at food. After receiving a troubling pap smear, Pat rejected conventional treatment and turned instead to clean eating, exercise, and holistic practices. A year later, she got the all-clear. Her story is a powerful reminder of what can happen when we listen to our bodies and trust our path.

We also dive into:

• How her kitchen became a hub for community, healing, and service
• What it means to live an unconventional life with passion and purpose
• How micro-dosing psilocybin has helped her access calm, connection, and deeper spiritual insight
• Her philosophies on aging, energy, and embracing every damn moment with love

If you’re ready to be inspired by a woman who lives unapologetically, heals through food, and radiates badass energy, this episode is not to be missed.

Tune in now for a dose of food, freedom, and fierce feminine power.
