Happy 21st episode to us! We're officially legal, and we're celebrating with an Amaretto Stone Sour - we totally get why we stopped drinking this drink when we finally turned 21 in real life.

This week, we dive into:

• Pickleball Life Lessons: Why loosening your grip and relaxing your shoulders works on and off the court.
• Perimenopause Unfiltered: Hot flashes, brain fog, and why Gen X is breaking the silence on menopause.
• Baby Name Nostalgia: A snarky look at the most popular 70s names and today’s trendiest monikers.
• Holiday Survival Tips: How to prep for college kids coming home (hint: let them sleep and stock the fridge).
• Undergarment Glow-Up: When did our underwear get so boring, and how do we fix it?
