Parents—very often moms—put thousands of miles on our tires shuttling our kids from practices to matches to tournaments, oh my! But there can be unexpected payoffs for the road-weary and lessons we can heed from Wendy's recent trip to state lacrosse finals. She brags on her kid here, but only to make a larger point. C'mon…put in your earbuds and hit play.

Word on the street is that a lot of you are finding it difficult to get dressed these days, not because you don't want to but because you don't know how after nearly three years of sweat pants and couch living. But it's time. Even if you move into jeans and a tee, it's not hard to elevate even the simplest of basics.

If you missed episode 5, you'll still be right on time for this one. But do listen to episode 5 because you're worth it and this week is an extension of it. Listeners responded to the question: What does sexy mean to you? Your answers were so good that we're sharing them today. Y'all are fierce and sexy as hell.

It can happen to anyone, and it quite frequently does. Wendy wrestles with imposter syndrome and pins it to the mat. She shares some tools to quiet that voice in your head that, if left to its own devices, can rob us of all the incredible things we were meant to do and be.
