This week's Quad discussion chops up:

*The continued controversy, misunderstanding and (over) exposure of the transgender movement.  Is it moving too fast?  Are we thinking through its impacts on a macro/micro level, and allowing healthy communication to happen?

*Nextdoor app.  Why in the hell are people oversharing and has it become a beacon for toxic, unacceptable and extreme "Karen" behaviors?

*Age.  Why is it acceptable to put societal and career stereotypes on aging women, but certain categorical lanes get a hall pass?  Are 80+ years too much to be effective new parents, politicians/important leaders and/or corporate board members with fidiciary responsibilities?

Let's GO!

This week we have some gritty fun, as Stand-up Comedian, Jennifer Arrundale, occupies the fourth seat!  Topics we sling around the Quad include:

1) Coronation.  What we thought and do we even GAF?
2) She's back...Gwyneth Paltrow.  Is dishing on past sexual encounters with Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt out of turn or fair game?
3) Laurie's reading the Paris Hilton memoir for book club, which gets the group chopping up the influencer world and it's ties to social media.

It's basically a $h!t Show in all the best ways!

Our weekly Quad, and we get a little "spicy" on this one!  This session we dice up:

1) The Dylan Mulvaney public response, why does this whole situation makes many of us salty, and why aren't we holding some of the companies/marketing professionals to task.

2) The Met Gala-- too much or an iconic artistic celebration

3)  Are we pre-occupied with watching others squirm?  We use the recent NFL Draft  program and Will Levis to weigh in

4) Have we lost all decorum and boundaries when it comes to our dogs in public places?

As we age, we are more apt to facing the daunting events and journeys of grief and loss.  This week we interview Laing Rikkers is a leader in the field of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, an often hidden - and potentially fatal - medical condition. Though OSA is estimated to affect 75 million Americans, most people don't even know they have it. Tragically, that was the case with her sister who died of undiagnosed OSA. In her grief, Laing sought solace from nature and creativity, and her new book Morning Leaves, provides a path for self-exploration, connection, and healing from loss.
