I Adore the Hell Outta You is a cheeky, unfiltered podcast for women in midlife—and anyone curious about what it really looks like to grow, stretch, and continuously expand. Hosted by two best friends with a tarot deck and a sharp sense of humor, we dive into the wild ride of aging, identity, relationships, body stuff, and big life pivots. Think late-night phone call energy meets real talk about becoming more yourself, one messy chapter at a time. Midlife is the main character, but all are welcome.

    What Are We Protecting?

    Send us Fan Mail Heads up, friends: this episode includes a discussion of sexual misconduct, including a personal story. Please take care of yourself while you listen, and if today isn’t the day, this one will be here whenever you’re ready. It’s just me and the mic this week, and I went deep. On a ten-hour road trip I fell down the rabbit hole of two investigative podcasts, Not Just a Terrible Story and Focus Adult in the Room, both about teacher misconduct in schools. What stuck with me most was how often the young people in these stories talked about being afraid to speak up and disrupt something that felt safe, familiar, or even fun. That brought up my own story of a flight to South Africa in my twenties, and how I froze when the man next to me crossed a line. I talk about the shame I’ve carried, and about listening back to this episode and realizing how much that shame was still doing the talking.  From there, I’m asking all of us a bigger question: what are we protecting? The beloved teacher, the band we love, the calm on the plane, the way things have always been at home. There’s a weight to protecting the status quo, and I want us to start noticing it. I pulled the Nymph of Wands to guide us, a card about watching your surroundings with clear eyes and trusting yourself as you begin something new. Journal prompt for the week: What am I protecting right now, and what is it costing me? If this episode stirs something up for you, you’re not alone.

    Dark Thoughts

    Send us Fan Mail We've been having some dark thoughts about our abilities, our bodies, our brains. The darkness seems to be lurking around every corner. We're saying the dark thoughts outloud and we're recapping our annual backpacking adventure where we inevitably push ourselves outside the cozy comfort zone and grow in one way or another. Dammit! Why is growth always uncomfortable. We were just getting cozy for the season and then BAM there's another growth opportunity. Also, you are not your thoughts. And if your thoughts are taking you to a dark place that you need help with please please please call 988. We need you here babe. In this episode we ask you to use our handy dandy voice memo link to leave us some of your dark thoughts. We're all having them, let's air them out. They aren't dirty underwear after all.

    Mid-Rise, Candlelight, and Chocolate Brown: Get cozy with Rene Deming of Gathered for Good

    Send us Fan Mail This week I sat down with Renee Deming, owner of Gathered for Good, a curated thrift and vintage shop in Missoula and Bozeman. Renee stumbled into retail out of necessity and has spent 20 years loving the hunt. We talked about building a business rooted in service, the real challenges of running a shop as a woman on her own, and why none of us can do this alone. Then we got cozy, with Renee's take on what's working this fall for your closet and your home. It's a warm, funny conversation, and I think you'll adore it as much as I do. Find Renee on Instagram @gathered.for.good or stop by her shops in Missoula and Bozeman.

    The unsexy cleanup that's making room for cozy

    Back to School When School Isn't Easy

    Send us Fan Mail Back to school isn't all about the smell of sharpened pencils and a return to routine and structure. For some families it can mean a whole shit storm of complexity and struggle. I sat down with Kristen Dougherty to talk it out. Kristen is a therapist and a mom and is currently working to support other families going through challenges associated with kids, ADHD, school, and transitions- all things deeply associated with the back-to-school season.  This episode may not speak to you directly, but the message is one we keep coming back to. We can't control our way out of all the sticky situations we find ourselves in and chances are there's a more fluid, flexible way forward but it's not the one you envisioned for yourself or your family. We'll keep working on it!  Sign up for Kristen's newsletter here to get her hard earned (and learned) tips and tricks for easier back to school transitions. And if this episode resonated, please let us know.  Support the show Thanks for being real with us.  Get our weekly newsletter straight to your inbox 💌  Get it here Made you laugh? or Cry?
