Cathy, Kirsten, and I sit down to talk about How About Now: Poems by Kate Baer. We explore the poems we connected with most, whether the tone feels heavy or introspective, and what the collection reveals about navigating the everyday. We also dive into how poetry can find beauty in the mundane, and why reading work like Baer’s feels so important right now.

It’s been a year since my daughter Ila joined me on the show, and I’m so excited she’s back! We dive into our thoughts on The Golden Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and The Bachelor,  what we love, what we don’t, and the moments that had us yelling at the screen. Ila also shares what college has been like so far, her journey studying interior design, and how much she’s grown since leaving home.

Cathy, Stacey, and Christine join me for a follow‑up conversation about how they’re feeling after working with Danese Rexroad from Ways2Well. We talk about their progress, any changes to their medication, and whether they’re actually remembering to take it. We also reflect on how little our own mothers discussed menopause, and how it feels like our generation is the first to truly acknowledge it and get proper treatment.

Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, author of You, Your Husband, and His Mother, joins Kirsten, Cathy, and me to dive into the complex world of mother-in-law relationships. Tracy breaks down the dynamics between a husband and wife, and why it’s essential to address an overbearing in-law early and openly. We also explore the different types of mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws, and how to navigate those roles with understanding, boundaries, and compassion.

Paulina Pinsky is back, and this time she’s engaged! In this episode, we reflect on how we continue to learn from each other despite our age gap, and dive into the importance of self-actualization and always asking yourself “why” as you grow. Paulina also opens up about how she’s processed her trauma and how beautifully she’s evolved since we first met.
