What would your 80-year-old self tell you to stop worrying about? And what would she beg you to do before it's too late?

This week on Unfiltered-ish, Natali, Nicki, and Carina imagine looking back on their lives at 80. What would we remember? What would we regret? And would the things keeping us up at night right now even matter?

We get into the moments that felt like the worst things that could happen but turned out to change our lives for the better. Natali reflects on ending her marriage and caring for her parents. Nicki talks about relationships, leaving behind a life that no longer fit, and finally starting the novel she's wanted to write for decades. Carina shares why sending her daughter away was one of the hardest and best days of her life.

There are also haunted hotels, reality TV dreams, unforgettable trips, friendship, aging, and the experiences we hope we're still talking about decades from now.

If you've ever wondered whether you're worrying about the wrong things, putting off something you'll eventually regret, or overlooking some of the best moments of your life while they're happening, this conversation might change how you look at today.

Unfiltered-ish is the midlife group chat for women talking honestly about friendship, ambition, marriage, dating, money, aging, reinvention, joy, and wanting more out of life.

What would your future self thank you for doing today?

This week on Unfiltered-ish, we start with crispy bacon, fatty bacon, and the very specific rules we apparently have about breakfast meat. Then we get into a bigger question: are we living for our past selves, our present selves, or the future versions of us we say we want to become?

We talk about being future-focused, why entrepreneurs are always thinking about what comes next, and how hard it can be to slow down when your brain is already planning the next project, next offer, next trip, or next version of your life.

Natali shares the list she started in her journal of “things my future self would thank me for.” Nicki talks about wanting to write, create, and stop needing every choice to have an obvious financial return. Carina talks about building a future that includes grandbabies, in-real-life friendships, mahjong, and the kind of life she’s working so hard to eventually enjoy.

We also talk about the difference between knowing what you want and actually behaving in a way that moves you closer to it, especially when it comes to creativity, business, health, relationships, money, and the personal life that can get pushed aside when work becomes the default.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your current choices are helping the future version of you, or quietly making life harder for her, this episode is for you.
