Wife of the Party

I welcome back Danese Rexroad for a one-year check-in on my friends’ menopause health journey. Stacey and Cathy share what they've learned over the last year from bloodwork and hormone therapy to perimenopause symptoms, energy levels, sleep, and learning how to prioritize our own health. They share what's improved, what's still challenging, and why this process has been much more of a marathon than a sprint. Danese discusses why so many women are told their symptoms are just part of aging, how hormone health is deeply connected to overall wellness, and why feeling heard by your healthcare provider can make all the difference.

Kelly Rizzo joins me for a heartfelt conversation about love, loss, relationships, and finding joy again after life's biggest challenges. We talk about her marriage to Bob Saget, what she learned from their relationship, navigating grief, dating again after loss, and why there shouldn't be rules for how people move forward. We also discuss being child-free by choice, building community through her Comfort Club, and creating a life that feels authentic to who you are.

This week’s Book Club might be our most divided one yet because we finally read A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) by Sarah J. Maas. One of us loved the fantasy world, the romance, and the drama and some of us absolutely could not get past the growling, the flowery language, and the “sheathing” scene. We also get into why fantasy resonates so deeply with readers, the appeal of escapism, and how books like this become gateway reads for people who normally don’t read at all. Whether you’re Team Rhysand, Team Tamlin, or completely confused by fairy smut, this was such a fun discussion.

Eliza Reid never expected to become First Lady of Iceland which is exactly what makes her story so interesting. We talk about growing up in Canada, traveling the world alone, proposing to her husband, moving to Iceland without speaking the language, and eventually stepping into one of the most public roles imaginable. What I loved most about this conversation was how much we talked about trusting yourself, taking chances, and learning to take up space. Eliza also shares what it was really like becoming First Lady with no rulebook, no staff, and no preparation for the role.
