Imperfect Strangers

On this episode, super-smeller Melissa explores hot yoga and well, she can’t quite quiet her mind or control her wandering third eye so. You know, it’s a no. Let’s say it’s 100% NOT YOGA. Also, Melissa gives Amanda all the tips and tools she needs to get the softest feet ever because Melissa’s philosophy in life is that we must always take care of our teeth and our feet.

WOWZERS. Strangers no more, but the podcast shall live on! For the grand finale of the fifth season, Melissa and Amanda meet in person! Hear all about Amanda’s family trip to NYC where she takes a detour to meet Melissa for the first time IRL. Subways, potted meats, Covid, a very weird Airbnb — these ladies found love in a hopeless place. They risked it all for friendship and it paid off!

On this ninety-ninth episode (!) of Imperfect Strangers, Melissa and Amanda plan an imaginary, luxurious (but totally possible) trip to Cincinnati because Melissa needs a fake fur — we repeat, a FAKE fur — and wouldn’t you know it? Ohio has that whole market on lock. Shout out to Donna Salyers. Shira and Lennox, the biggest Oliver Tree fan, celebrate their birthdays. And elsewhere in the episode, these two, who have recently transitioned into full-time working moms with older self-sufficient children, discuss the adjustment from stay-at-home life.

Wow! On this special episode of Imperfect Strangers, we sit down with Kelley Wolf, life coach and author of FLOW Finding Love Over Worry to discuss Dolly Parton, the power of staying present, finding your light (not superficially) and how to better manage the addiction to worry to find a happier you. Just in time for the hectic holiday season!

Exhale.

Also, on this episode be sure to listen to the ad about our party celebrating the milestone of hitting 100 episodes! And now for some paragraphs about how great YOU are, stranger-friends.

Really though! Can you believe this podcast is 100 episodes old? Thank you for joining us and helping us to grow and get here.

Every week, you’ve tuned in. Listened all the way to the end like bad asses. Downloaded. Reviewed. Told your friends. Joined our Patreon. Made friends in our Discord. And because of you we have this wonderful community.

Melissa and Amanda started off as strangers and through the course of 100 episodes have learned enough about each other to take this thing to the next level — a friendship.

Even if it’s silly discussions about body odor or hamsters (also an odor) or important talks about boundaries, parenting, marriage, race or politics, you’ve been there from the beginning.

Every week! Every Live. Every online Zoom party, you’ve shown up.

This has been so very cool and rewarding. Fun, educational, emotional - all that.

If you don’t know this yet, we’re saying it again. YOU are the best and we thank you for your listenership, your support, your insights, your jokes, your community.

Now that’s enough feelings for now.

Go! Listen to this new episode with the lovely Kelley and have a great weekend!

On this very special FINAL spooky episode this season, we invited our Stranger Friend Patrons to share their ghost stories with us.
