Episodes
In this week’s episode of Life Take Two, I open up about something that hits close to home: friendship and loneliness in midlife. I share my own experiences with how friendships change as we get older, what it feels like to be left out, and why connection is so important to our happiness and even our health. If you’ve been feeling a little isolated or craving real connection, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to make life fe...
Don is back again and we talk all about the real-life experience of blending a family—what works, what doesn’t, and what we’ve learned along the way.

We even share what it’s been like stepping into the grandparent stage together and how...

In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Paola Arencibia, a former teacher who completely reinvented her life to become a stylist helping women rediscover themselves through their closets. We talk about what it really means to have a “take two” in life, the emotional weight hiding in our wardrobes, and how fashion can be so much more than clothes—it’s confidence, healing, and self-expression. If you’ve ever stood in front of yo...
In this episode of Life Take Two, I’m talking all about finding and using your voice.

In this episode of Life Take Two, I open up about what I call reverse middle-age discrimination and why it’s time we stop letting the world tell us we’re past our prime. I share stories, a few laughs, and a little righteous anger about how society treats women of a certain age while reminding you that we’re not outdated we’re upgraded.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
