    Season 2, Episode 4 Friendships: A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?

    Send us Fan Mail Some friendships last a lifetime. Others are only meant for a chapter. But every friendship leaves its mark. As we get older, our friendships change. Our circles may get smaller, our priorities shift, and we start to realize that meaningful friendships aren't about how often we talk or how much time we spend together. They're about feeling safe, being accepted, and having people who love us even when we're not at our best. In this episode of She Shed Unfiltered™, Donna and Nicole get real about the friendships that have shaped their lives, the ones that have faded, and the women who have shown up when life got messy. We talk about navigating conflict, unspoken expectations, different friendship love languages, and why healthy friendships aren't always 50/50. Sometimes we're the ones holding everyone else up, and sometimes we're the ones who need holding. And what happens when we don't have the capacity to show up the way we normally would? Does that make us bad friends, or simply human? From heartfelt moments of gratitude to plenty of laughs, this conversation is a reminder that friendship doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful. Because sometimes the greatest gift of friendship is having people who love every version of you. Pull up a chair, grab your favourite drink, and join us in the Shed. As always, nothing is off-limits, and everything is unfiltered. #SheShedUnfiltered #FemaleFriendships #FriendshipMatters #ReasonSeasonLifetime #WomenSupportingWomen #AuthenticConnections #RealTalk #FriendshipAfter50 #TheMessyMiddle #PodcastForWomen  https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

    Season 2, Episode 3 - Grieving & Growing: Missing What Was, Embracing What's Next

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when the life you imagined isn't the life you're living? This week on She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Nicole get personal about grief, growth, and the complicated space in between. From losing loved ones and relationships to watching parents age, children grow up, and our own identities evolve, grief shows up in ways we don't always recognize. And sometimes, just when we think we've moved through it, it comes knocking again. But here's what we're learning: You can miss what was and still be excited about what's next. Both things can be true. Through honest stories, a few tears, plenty of laughter, and some signature She Shed humour, we're talking about finding strength in vulnerability, the power of female friendships, giving ourselves permission to change, and discovering that growth doesn't mean leaving everything behind. Donna also shares how grief unexpectedly sparked the creation of She Shed Unfiltered and why finding her voice became part of finding herself again. And, of course, the universe has entered the chat! Nicole brings a little Cosmic Tea to the conversation with a card reading exploring surrender, creativity, and making room for what's next. Because we're never going back to exactly who we were. And maybe discovering who we're becoming is something worth celebrating. Real talk. The messy middle. A little Cosmic Tea. Always unfiltered. 🎙️ Join us in the shed. https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

    Season 2, Episode 2 -Finding Yourself… Whatever the Hell That Means

    Send us Fan Mail Apparently, at this stage of life, we're supposed to be “finding ourselves.” But what if we're not actually lost? Maybe we've just changed. The kids grow up. Relationships end or evolve. The roles we've spent years playing start to shift. We're not needed in quite the same way anymore — and suddenly there’s space where there never used to be any. So… who the hell are we now? In this episode, Donna and Nicole get into the messy reality of figuring out who you are when life doesn't look the way it used to. Donna admits she's struggling with the whole idea of “finding herself,” while Nicole — as expected — takes things a little deeper. They talk about identity, being needed, friendship, the little girls they used to be, and whether the parts of us that mattered back then might still be the parts that matter most now. And because no She Shed conversation stays deep for too long, there’s also Gen X childhood trauma, Pepsi vs. Coke, going out after 9, Nicole's inner bitch… and Donna putting something in the wrong hole. Maybe finding yourself isn't about becoming someone new. Maybe it's about getting reacquainted with the woman who's been there all along. Or maybe we still have no f*****g idea. Either way, we're talking about it. 🎙️ She Shed Unfiltered — Season 2, Episode 2 https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

    Season 2- Episode 1 - How the Hell Did We Get Here?

    Send us Fan Mail Season 2 is here — and things look a little different inside the She Shed. Donna is back, but this time there’s a new voice beside her: Nicole, a friend whose life has been strangely intertwined with Donna’s for more than 25 years. They met as young women building houses next door to each other, became mothers at the same time, went into business together, survived bankruptcy, marriages, divorces, heartbreak and a whole lot of life — only to somehow find themselves, decades later, single, empty nesting…and living under the same roof. And yes, even they’re wondering: What could possibly go wrong? But beneath the laughs, true crime, Pepsi-versus-Coke debates, yoga, wine, Reiki, Botox and roommate confessions is a much bigger conversation. Who are we when the kids are grown, relationships end, careers no longer define us and the life we worked so hard to build isn't necessarily the life we want anymore? Donna and Nicole look back at the women they were 25 years ago and talk honestly about insecurity, success, grief, heartbreak, self-awareness, freedom and learning to put themselves back into their own lives. Because maybe this chapter isn't about finding another relationship. Maybe it's about finding ourselves. And maybe success isn't having the perfect house, career, relationship or life that looks good from the outside. Maybe it's finally building a life that feels good to live. Welcome to Season 2 of She Shed Unfiltered. New voice. New stories. Same shed. Still unfiltered. The door is always open. https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

    Episode 19: The Comeback Is Happening

    Send us Fan Mail What started as a conversation over coffee turned into something neither of us could have imagined. In the Season One finale of She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Meg look back on the journey that brought them here,  from meeting for the first time and building a friendship on the microphone, to creating a community that now reaches listeners in more than 20 countries. Together, they reflect on the moments that mattered most, the guests who challenged and inspired them, and the surprising lesson that vulnerability wasn't a weakness, it was the thing that connected people most. They talk about divorce, healing, parenting, friendship, heartbreak, resilience, and what they would tell their 20-year-old selves if they had the chance. Most importantly, they discuss what happens when women stop trying to be perfect and start telling the truth. This episode is a thank you to every listener who joined us for Season One, every guest who shared their story, and every person who reached out to tell us that our conversations helped them feel a little less alone. Because if we've learned anything this season, it's this: You're not alone. Your story matters. And sometimes the comeback is already happening — even when you can't see it yet. Season One may be ending, but this is only the beginning. Stay brave. Stay curious. Stay unfiltered. https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

    Episode 18: Building a Life I Love

    Send us Fan Mail What if happiness isn’t something you find after you hit all the milestones, marriage, kids, career, house, but something you slowly build when you finally start listening to yourself? In this episode, Donna and Meg talk about what it means to create a life that feels peaceful, joyful, and fully your own after divorce, heartbreak, motherhood, people-pleasing, and starting over. From guilt-free freedom and protecting your peace to rediscovering hobbies, friendships, independence, dating, parenting, and the small everyday things that make life feel good again, this conversation is about choosing what stays, what goes, and what gets to grow. Because building a life you love doesn’t always have to be dramatic  Sometimes it looks like saying no. Sometimes it looks like brunch with friends. Sometimes it looks like a podcast, a cold plunge, a clean closet, a quiet home, a loud family, or finally realizing you don’t have to make everyone else comfortable at the expense of yourself. This is a conversation about joy after change, peace after chaos, and the beautiful, uncomfortable work of coming home to yourself. What happens when you stop waiting for life to go back to the way it was… and start building something new instead? https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

    Episode 17: The Year I Lost So Much — And Found Myself Again

    Send us Fan Mail Over the last year, Donna lost more than she ever imagined — a relationship, her sister, her cat, her sweet dog Nelly, and parts of herself along the way. But somewhere inside the grief, heartbreak, and rebuilding, something unexpected happened. She started finding herself again. In this deeply personal episode, Donna and Meg talk about what women gain after loss: clarity, boundaries, independence, peace, community, and a stronger relationship with themselves. This isn’t about silver linings or toxic positivity. It’s about surviving hard seasons, rebuilding honestly, and learning to love the person you’re becoming. Because sometimes the year you lose so much becomes the year you find parts of yourself you never want to lose again. https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered
