  • The One Where Our "Why" For Health Gets Clear

    The One Where Our "Why" For Health Gets Clear
    Jan 6 2026
    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    —----
    This week on That’s Why We’re Friends…
    What if the reason you’re pursuing health matters more than the plan itself?
    In this episode, we talk honestly about body image, feeling good in our bodies, and why moderation—not obsession—creates lasting change. We explore how our “why” for health often gets tangled in appearance, control, or comparison, and how shifting that focus brings real freedom. Together, we unpack what it looks like to align our health goals with what God says is true about us—living under the umbrella of grace instead of pressure. This conversation is about pursuing health so we can live fully, show up well, and walk out the calling God has placed on our lives—without striving, guilt, or perfectionism.

    In our final episode of 2025, we take a moment to reminisce and remember — looking back on our first 17 episodes, celebrating episode 18, and all the laughter, growth, and conversations that brought us here. We share what we’ve learned, what surprised us, and what we’re hopeful for as we head into 2026. It’s a simple, heartfelt close to the year and a grateful look ahead to what God has in store.

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends.

    This podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    This week’s episode is a short and sweet one as we head into Christmas! We chat about last-minute gift-wrap emergencies, whether we’re labelers or non-labelers, and if wrapping paper or gift bags reign supreme. 🎁😂 Then we turn our focus to the heart of Christmas — Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us — and talk about the joy and hope He brings. We also share whether we stick to traditional Christmas foods or mix it up each year. It’s a simple, warm conversation to usher in Christmas week.

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    In this episode, we slow down and talk about the awe and wonder of Christmas — the kind that pulls our attention back to Jesus and recenters our hearts in a season that can get loud and hurried. We share how we’re practicing rest, resisting the holiday hustle, and making intentional space to experience the beauty of Emmanuel, God with us. It’s a simple, peaceful conversation to help you breathe a little deeper this Christmas.

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends.

    This podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.


    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    This week’s episode is extra special because our husbands — Paul and Jeff — joined us on the show! 🎙 We asked them about their thoughts and feelings on our podcast, their perspectives on marriage and friendship, and of course their favorite Christmas memories. They may or may not have tried to take over the podcast a few times… but we managed to keep things (mostly) under control. It’s honest, sweet, a little chaotic, and full of Christmas nostalgia.

    We’re kicking off December with a fun “Favorite Things” episode! 🎁✨ We’re sharing a mix of our current favorite items (all linked on our website!), our favorite things about God, and a few of our sweetest childhood Christmas memories… which somehow led us straight into reminiscing about Ataris and Cabbage Patch Dolls. It’s nostalgic, lighthearted, and the perfect warm start to the holiday season.

    The One With Tammy Lanham

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    In this episode, we’re joined by Tammy Lanham for a beautiful conversation on joy, celebration, and finding contentment in every season (plus a good laugh about her pink carpet that overstayed its welcome 💕😂). We talk about how comparison steals our joy, the difference between happiness and true joy, and how spiritual practices can draw us back to hope when life feels hard. Tammy reminds us that joy is trusting God in the middle of our circumstances, finding satisfaction in Him alone, and choosing gratitude — even in the small things — because that’s what leads to lasting contentment.
