🎉 We did it, listeners — 50 episodes! 🎉 And if you’ve ever looked at the stats for podcasts, you know this is a big deal. Most podcasts don’t make it past episode 10, so hitting 50 is a rare and beautiful milestone. It means we’ve shown up week after week, sharing real conversations about midlife, connection, and everything in between.
In this celebratory episode, Karen and Lisa reflect on what it means to reach 50 — both as a podcast and as women in our 50s. We talk about the freedom, the grief, the weird surprises (hello, chin hairs), the shifting relationships, and the undeniable power that comes from truly knowing ourselves.
This one’s filled with laughter, honesty, and a few full-circle moments that had us catching our breath. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or you’re just joining us now, this episode is a love letter to the magic of midlife and the friendships that make it all worthwhile.
Here’s to 50 episodes, 50-something years, and the joy of embracing who we are — fully, loudly, and without apology.
