Navigating Life with Laughter (And Maybe Wine)🍷  |  EP 43

Hold onto your hairspray, folks—this episode is a wild ride! Trish and Karen are back at it, swapping stories like they’re at a late-night sleepover. Karen’s got a forehead injury tale that’s equal parts hilarious and how did that even happen? Meanwhile, Trish keeps it real about perimenopause (hot flashes, mood swings—the whole glamorous package). They laugh about the freedom of not giving a damn anymore, debate why Gen Z texts like they’re paying per word, and gush over their mutual love of long, wine-fueled dinners. Oh, and comedy? They’ve got thoughts—especially when it comes to stealing jokes (don’t) and why Dolly Parton is basically a superhero in rhinestones. Grab your favorite snack and settle in—this one’s a riot.
