    Season 4 Episode 2- Dating Again—or Choosing Peace?

    Send us a text Season 4 • Episode 2 Dating Again—or Choosing Peace? Getting Back Out There After Years of Being Married This episode gets a little spicier—and a lot more honest. In Episode 2, Terri and Sandi step straight into the conversation most women have quietly in their heads but rarely say out loud: after a long marriage ends… are you supposed to start dating again, or is choosing peace the real glow-up? From the very first minute, this one leans in. No fixing. No timelines. No “you’ll find someone when you least expect it” energy. Just two women in very different seasons telling the truth about what life actually feels like on the other side of marriage. One host re-enters the dating world—eyes wide open, boundaries locked, nervous system protected. The other closes the door completely… and isn’t apologizing for it. What unfolds is a raw, funny, slightly uncomfortable conversation about identity loss, dating culture shock, emotional labor, red flags we didn’t even know existed, and why peace might be the most expensive thing a woman owns. 🔥 Expect candid confessions  🔥 A few “did she really just say that?” moments  🔥 Truth bombs about chemistry vs. chaos  🔥 And a tension-filled question with no right answer This isn’t an episode about whether you should date. It’s about whether you’re being honest about the season you’re in. And fair warning—this conversation isn’t for everyone.  But if it hits… it really hits. 🎧 Listen with an open mind. Or a locked door.  Both are valid. Support the show Stay connected with us! Follow New Roads, New Rules on social media for updates, behind-the-scenes content, and empowering discussions.

    Season 4 Episode 1-The year of YES!

    Send us a text Season 4 • Episode 1 New Roads, New Rules: The Year of YES — Trusting Yourself Without Overthinking Everything What if this is the year you stop second-guessing yourself? Season 4 kicks off with a bold (but very intentional) theme: The Year of YES. Not the reckless, burn-it-all-down kind of yes—but the kind that comes from self-trust, lived experience, and finally loosening the grip on overthinking everything. In this episode, Sandi and Terri dig into why so many women—especially in midlife—feel stuck in analysis mode, replaying every decision, anticipating every worst-case scenario, and carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs before their own. We talk about how overthinking became our default… and why it doesn’t have to stay that way. You’ll hear real talk, relatable stories, a little humor, and a powerful reframe of what “yes” actually means in this season of life. This isn’t about saying yes to more chaos—it’s about saying yes on purpose. With boundaries. With clarity. With confidence. ✨ Expect mindset shifts  ✨ A fresh way to think about control vs. flexibility  ✨ A simple filter to help you decide what deserves your yes  ✨ And a rule you’ll want to carry with you all year If you’ve been waiting for a sign, permission, or a push to trust yourself again… this episode might just be it. 🚗 Buckle up, Roadies.

    Send us a text 🚨 REPLAY WEEK #2 — And Roadies, this one is ESSENTIAL LISTENING.

In this episode, Sandi & Terri dive into: ✨ Why intention matters more than perfection  ✨ How to stop living on autopilot  ✨ What’s actually holding you back (spoiler: it’s usually not what you think) ✨ How to lead your career — and your life — with clarity instead of chaos ✨ And why women giving themselves permission to change is basically a superpower Plus, Tami delivers the kind of wisdom that makes you pause mid-laundry, stare at the wall, and whisper, “Oh… she’s calling me out.” This conversation is warm, inspiring, hilariously honest, and SO full of those “I needed to hear this today” moments. ✨ Roadies — don’t wait. Press play now and set yourself up for a more intentional 2026. Your future self will absolutely thank you. Tune in and feel the shift. Support the show Stay connected with us!
