    163 - How Cargo Biking Could Change Your Life with CargoBikeMomma (Maddy Novich)

    What does it actually take to raise a family in New York City with zero cars and 100% pedal power? Ever wondered what it's really like to navigate school drop-offs, grocery runs, and daily life in New York City entirely by bike? This week, we're joined by Maddie Novich—better known to her viral community as @cargobikemomma. Maddie shares how swapping four wheels for a cargo bike transformed her family's daily routine, physical health, and connection to the city. We dig into the real environmental and mental health perks of micro-mobility, the stark realities of navigating NYC's bike network, and why safe, protected infrastructure is critical for families on the go. Stick around for the second half, where the conversation takes an unexpected turn: Maddie shares her fascinating background in criminal justice, what stopped her from joining the CIA, and life as a professor—which naturally spirals into an unfiltered chat with Jenn about her obsession with true crime.

    162 - Answering 3 Questions Every Midlife Woman is Asking

    Your wine. Your Walk. Your Wind down. What's actually happening? You send the questions. We do the digging. In this episode, we're tackling three that land in our inbox on repeat—the ones that make you wonder, is it just me? (Spoiler: it's not.) First up, "Social Life or Sleep" wants to know why a glass or two of wine that used to help her wind down now hands her a 3:00 AM wake-up call and night sweats instead. We get into what's actually shifting with alcohol and hormones in midlife—no lecture, no guilt, just what's going on and what your options are. Then "Wants to be a Walker" asks whether the influencers are right: is walking 10,000 steps really better for weight loss in menopause than running or spinning, or is it just the trend of the week? We separate the science from the noise. And finally, the question so many of us are quietly asking: am I lazy, or am I genuinely exhausted? You want to do the thing, and then you sit down and don't move for hours. We talk about how to actually tell the difference—and why the answer matters more than you'd think. Pull up a chair. Around here, no question is too small, and no one is behind. Take the FREE "Strong for Life" Assessment NOW!

    161 - How Journaling Rewires Your Brain with Laura L. Rubin

    In this episode we explore the simple yet profound power of pen and paper with Laura L. Rubin, the founder of AllSwell Creative and author of the transformative new book, The Big Unlock. Journaling is often touted as a "must-have" wellness tool, but it can feel intimidating or even performative for many. We sit down with Laura to demystify the practice and prove that it truly is accessible to everyone—regardless of whether you consider yourself a "writer." This conversation brings together two very different perspectives: Jenn: A lifelong journaler who relies on her notebook as a non-negotiable tool for mental hygiene and clarity. Lori: A self-proclaimed "non-journaler" who represents the skeptics and the overwhelmed who don't know where to start. We also unpack: The Science: Why slowing down to the speed of your own handwriting has a measurable cognitive and emotional impact. Converting the Skeptic: The specific data points Laura shares in corporate boardrooms to change minds about the power of journaling. 4x4x4 Method (you'll have to tune in to find out what that means)! Whether you are a seasoned pro or a curious skeptic, this episode offers a roadmap to finding your own "Big Unlock" through the philosophy of journaling.

    158 - Why Your Grief Isn't Like Anyone Else's with Theo Boyd

    When life hits you with the unthinkable, how do you find the will to keep going? Today's guest, author and teacher Theo Boyd, lost her parents under tragic circumstances, forcing her to redefine her understanding of peace and healing.  Grief is as unique as a fingerprint, and no one understands that better than Theo Boyd. This week, we chatted with the author of Your Grief is Not Like Mine and Hope All the Way to discuss her harrowing journey through complicated loss. In this deeply moving episode, Theo shares the details of her story, how she learned to process "complicated" grief, and the miraculous signs she's received from her loved ones that prove love never truly dies. We open up about our own chapters of loss—from the finality of death to the "living grief" of divorce—reminding us all that while our paths through sorrow are different, we never have to walk them alone. This is a raw, honest conversation for anyone who has ever felt lost in the aftermath of "goodbye." Whether you are grieving a loss that happened yesterday or a decade ago—or you're mourning the life you thought you'd have—this episode offers a roadmap back to hope.
