In this heartfelt episode, host Karen opens up about her personal journey with anxiety and depression — from the moments when it created distance in her relationships to the strength she found in overcoming some of her darkest times.

Joining her is Co Host Joni, who shares her own struggles and offers an honest look at how she’s learned to cope and heal along the way.

Together, they remind us that while anxiety can feel isolating, none of us are alone — and connection, vulnerability, faith and hope are always possible. 

This week, Karen and Joni are sipping on cozy Spiked Apple Cider Cocktails while diving into a topic that cuts deep: friendship breakups. We’ve all heard the breakup songs about ex-boyfriends, but what about the heartbreak of losing a best friend?

Of course, it wouldn’t be Cocktails & Convos without a little laughter—we spill the funniest (and cringiest) stories about past friendships, including the petty fights that in hindsight were so not that serious.

So pour yourself a glass, settle in, and join us as we unpack the messy, bittersweet world of friendship breakups—because sometimes the end of a sisterhood hurts way worse than saying goodbye to Mr. Wrong.

In this episode Joni and Karen dive into the little pet peeves that make up the day to day chaos of life as busy moms. 

In this episode Joni and Karen discuss the struggles mothers experience as they watch their children grow and how navigating through the adolescente years makes us yearn for the simpler days we once had with our little ones. 

In this episode Joni and Karen put each other in the hot seat with “what would you do” questions from spilling secrets to bribery. Will they make the best choices? Tune in and see.
