• 2026 plans, from health check-ins and career realities to possible moves and fresh starts
• A thoughtful discussion on Hashimoto’s disease, symptoms to watch for, and why women should advocate for their health
• What we’re loving lately: books, TV shows, music, and small obsessions bringing joy right now
• What we’re learning and what we’re ready to change or let go of as we move into the next chapter

• Kris and Lorri catch up on real-life midlife moments, from house projects and travel updates to everyday logistics we all overthink
• An honest conversation about career moves in midlife, including layoffs, pivots, multiple income streams, and making big changes without waiting for permission
• Reflections on how friendships evolve over time, reconnecting after distance, and giving relationships room to change with life stages
• A candid discussion about purging, decluttering, and letting go—physically and mentally—as part of midlife transitions
• What we’re loving, watching, and learning lately, plus small mindset shifts that are helping us slow down and refocus
