The holidays are supposed to be magical, but what happens when life throws you curveballs that change everything? Whether you’re grieving a loved one, navigating divorce, adjusting to an empty nest, or any number of life-altering situations, the holidays can feel overwhelming and lonely. In this episode, I open up about my journey: from creating Christmas magic for my kids to facing the quiet and bittersweet reality of the holidays as an empty nester. We’ll talk about embracing what’s different, creating new traditions, and finding peace—even in the unexpected. If this season feels heavy for you, know you’re not alone. Let’s explore how to navigate the holidays with honesty, grace, and maybe even a little joy.

Midlife dating: where the heart stops (literally), fantasies of yacht-level romance keep you going, and dating profiles look more like serial killer résumés. In this episode, I’m sharing the hilarious, awkward, and downright absurd moments of my dating life—like booth dates with no escape plan, two guys in a row with heart defibrillators, and my dream of finding Richard Gere (or at least his lifestyle). Whether you’re single, happily partnered, or just here for the laughs, this episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered, “What’s out there?” Spoiler alert: it’s a lot of fish photos, shirtless bathroom pics, and enough cringe to last a lifetime. Because being unapologetically yourself is your greatest superpower—and it makes for some great stories, too.
