Kellums & Grossi Podcast

Terri L Kellums & Jennifer Grossi

Welcome to the Kellums & Grossi Podcast—where midlife gets real, raw, and ridiculously honest. Hosted by two passionate women who’ve lived a little (okay, a lot), we dive into the stuff everyone’s thinking about—but not always saying out loud. From sex and marriage in midlife to the hilariously unfiltered moments that just slip out, we bring laughter, heart, and meaningful conversation to every episode. Fueled by social media scrolls and reels that make us say, “Okay, but seriously…,” we unpack life, love, friendship, health, and the occasional hot take—all with a glass in hand and zero judgment. Pull up a seat at our table—you’re invited.
