Grownish Women

Episode Description

For so many women in midlife, getting dressed has gone from something fun and creative to something that feels like a chore. Or worse, a daily reminder of everything that has shifted in your body and your life. The wardrobe full of different sizes. The default uniform of whatever is comfortable. The avoidance of mirrors and dressing rooms and anything that requires too much thought before 8am.

What if the harshest critic in your life isn't your mother, your boss, or your ex — it's you?

For most women raised in the Gen X era of buck up, push through, and handle it, the inner voice can be relentless and punishing. And we don't even notice it anymore. It's just the soundtrack.

Have you ever been around a group of women and thought how do they do that?

That ease, that realness, that "I don't have to perform here" kind of friendship?

That's what this episode is about.

I sit down with Jaci, Amanda, and Tori, three women who found each other during the pandemic and built something they now call their Soul Sister circle. They talk about navigating friendship across different seasons of motherhood, why the trips ...

Nobody warns you that watching your child leave, whether it's for college or the military, can feel like grief. In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Heidi Iliff, Pittsburgh's only high-school-seniors-only portrait photographer, for an honest and heartfelt conversation about exactly that.

Heidi has been through it more than once. Two kids enlisted in the Air Force, a daughter at Baylor, and another one heading there this fall. Sh...
