    The Friendship Factor: Finding Your People & Feeling Valued

    Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy, and maintaining those friendships through life’s many changes can be just as challenging. So how do we find our people, turn acquaintances into meaningful friendships, and nurture the relationships that matter most? In this episode of Redesigning Health and Home, Kerri and Meg explore the ups and downs of adult friendships, from putting yourself out there and making new connections to recognizing when a friendship has simply run its course. They share personal stories, practical ways to strengthen friendships, and thoughtful insights about why even the smallest gestures can make someone feel seen, remembered, and valued. Whether you’re an empty nester, adjusting to a new season of life, hoping to make new friends, or looking to deepen the connections you already have, this conversation is a reminder that friendship doesn’t have to mean having a big circle of people. Sometimes, just one or two meaningful connections can make all the difference. Because at the heart of every meaningful friendship is something we all want: to know that we matter. Join Kerri and Meg for a warm, honest, and encouraging conversation about finding your people and making friendship a priority at every age.

    Throwback Trends: Bring Them Back or Leave Them in the Past?

    Some of the best style ideas never really disappear - they just wait long enough to become cool again. Kerri and Meg take you on a fun, memory-filled tour of the things that defined childhood, family life, and home... and ask the question everyone has an opinion on: should they have gone out of style at all?From wristwatches that feel more like jewelry to china cabinets, MapQuest printouts, brooches, pantyhose, handkerchiefs, encyclopedias, and even sunken living room conversation pits, this episode is packed with the weirdly specific nostalgia only a real best-friends chat can deliver. Along the way, they get into the little details that made these items special, the reasons they faded away, and the few that might deserve a comeback.You'll discover: • Why statement watches still feel more personal than smartwatches • How moving in the city brings a whole new level of stress, timing, and flexibility • Why entertainment centers, china cabinets, and formal dining rooms vanished with changing homes • The etiquette debate around white pants, borrowing eggs, and dropping by unannounced • Which vintage beauty, fashion, and home trends are gone for good - and which might be due for revival If you love nostalgia, home design, old-school etiquette, and those "remember when?" conversations that make you smile and wince at the same time, this episode is for you.
