Where Girlfriends Gather

Jodi and Teresa have another real life chat where of course the topic of menopause resurfaces. Hot flashes, night sweats and other embarrassing situations. Wait until you hear Jodi’s funny story! And Teresa’s take on TMI!

Teresa and Jodi are back on the couch catching up on life. They share a few funny, awkward stories and talk about their current life season of having no one to take care of but themselves!

Teresa’s sons, Nick and Grant, join us on the couch! Jodi asks the questions and we dive into parenting challenges, wins and their tips for how to parent in the younger and older years. We learned that timing really does matter!

We’re back!!! After a much longer break than anticipated, Jodi and Teresa are back on the couch with their coffee and ready to chat about all the things. The good, bad, happy, and sad. We dive into our deepest most vulnerable conversation yet about loss, deep feelings that are often unspoken, and the season of menopause. Of course there are random interruptions and long bursts of laughter that we could’ve edited but didn’t because that’s us. Real life with Jodi and Teresa.

We are wrapping up the holiday season talk and heading in to the new year. Teresa and Jodi chat about choosing one word to focus on in 2024. And of course the conversation includes more real talk!

A special guest joins us! Teresa's husband, Craig, answers questions about their 30-year marriage. What does it mean to him to be married for 30 years? What does he love about Teresa and what drives him crazy? It takes a minute for him to answer but once he does his answers are so heartfelt and full of wisdom.

In this episode we talk about our big life pivots in leaving our full time stable careers and starting our own things. Is it perfectly imperfect or imperfectly perfect? We are learning as we go. Works in progress. Taking leaps one next step at a time.

We talk about a recent service project we participated in together for Baltimore Hunger Project. With the holidays right around the corner Teresa and Jodi talk about ways to protect your peace by eliminating the “shoulds” and focusing on what you want and brings you joy. They share some tips on things they find helpful in this season. EnJOY!!

Teresa and Jodi address the awkward intro in the last episode and staying true to yourself. They check in on how they are doing with device distractions and “face pooping”. Jodi makes a revelation of something she recently discovered that made Teresa remember a show from their youth and compound words. (Trigger warning) They have a hard conversation about the recent loss of Teresa’s fur baby, Kinsey, and living through loss and grief.
