Money shows up in every corner of midlife—our marriages, our stress, our parenting, our power, and our future—but most of us were raised not to talk about it at all. In this powerful midlife money and relationships episode, Chrissi sits down with lawyer and author Heather Boneparth, whose new book Money Together lands at the intersection of love, money, relationships, and partnership. From childhood money stories to mental load, caregiving, and financial power, they explore what it really takes to build a strong financial partnership in midlife. And yes—whether you’re dreaming of “the yacht life under chopper blades” straight out of Taylor Swift’s “Wi$h L$st,” just wanting a driveway with a basketball hoop and some financial peace of mind, this conversation proves money is never just about money. This episode isn’t about spreadsheets—it’s about rewriting your relationship with money, your partner, and yourself.

Midlife motherhood can feel like an identity crisis—your kids are growing, your roles are shifting, and you’re asking, “Who am I now?” In this episode, licensed clinical counselor Ellie Messinger-Adams helps us explore how to rediscover yourself when everything is changing. Together they break down the Motherhood Midlife Crisis—the moment when your kids are growing, your roles are shifting, and the version of you that once felt solid no longer fits.

In honor of Thanksgiving week, Chrissi brings Sarah back to feel the feels and realize why today might in fact be the good old days. Complete with a love story to today that brings Chrissi to literal tears, they work on shifting their mindsets to feel more gratitude than before. Not the “I’m grateful for chocolate and Wi-Fi” kind (although, yes, obviously), but the deeper kind that sneaks up on you in ordinary moments — loud kitchens, familiar voices, small acts of kindness, and the realization that one day, you'll miss the chaos you’re currently trying to clean up.
