Episode 19: The 50s Hit Different
Description
In our 50s, we both were dealing with the loss of our mothers. We both had major surgeries. We both went to therapy. And we both made life-altering decisions.
Tracy was fired after 29 years, went through a divorce, and had to decide who she wanted to be next.
Shannon quietly started therapy, asked for a divorce, traveled alone, and began building a completely new life.
We talk about grief, reinvention, later-in-life love, and the strange realization that 50 isn't an ending. It's often an awakening. We also share what we'd tell our 50-year-old selves now: Don't take it all so seriously. Be brave. It's going to work out.
Plus, a Lemon Tarragon Chicken Salad and a strong cocktail called the Thunderclap.
If you're in your 50s, or headed there, this one's for you.
