In this episode, we’re talking about the lifeline that keeps so many of us afloat during the absolute madness of midlife: female friendship. Between juggling careers, raising kids, managing aging parents, and riding the hormonal rollercoaster (hot flash, anyone?), having a tight crew of women who just get it isn’t just nice—it’s non-negotiable.
🤬 In this week’s “Are You KIDDING Me?” segment, Krista unpacks the wild reality that during the most emotionally intense chapter of our lives, we’re somehow expected to do it all without falling apart—without talking about how vital our friendships really are. Spoiler alert: we're not falling apart, but we are texting each other about it. Constantly.
🤔 Then, in “Here’s the Thing...”, Krista reflects on the sacredness of the group chat, the power of being seen by people who knew you before you needed reading glasses, and why texting your best friend a meme about menopause might actually be more therapeutic than your last OB-GYN visit.
🔥 There's DEF a hot flash moment to talk about in this episode
🍽️ And finally: “What’s for Dinner?” (LOL—Krista has no idea. Probably cereal. Again.)
Get ready to laugh, cry, and text your bestie after this one.
🧡 Subscribe, share, and let us know: what’s your sacred friendship ritual?
Until next week...
