    S5E6-Our Brains Are Rotting and We Did It to Ourselves

    Send us Fan Mail Okay, real talk. You picked up your phone to do one thing. Now it's 45 minutes later and you've watched a video about a baby monkey, three recipes you'll never make, and a full debate about whether you should rinse pasta. We've all been there. Every single one of us. This week Terri and Sandi are getting into it — the brain rot, the doomscrolling, the screen time reports we immediately flip face down — and they are not letting anybody off the hook. Including themselves. Here's the thing though: this isn't just a bad habit. Turns out there's actual science behind why you can't put the phone down, and the numbers are a little alarming. Like... we are losing a focus battle to goldfish alarming. But here's the part that'll surprise you — the fix is faster than you think. And no, it doesn't involve throwing your phone in a lake. In this episode: The embarrassingly relatable open you'll feel personally attacked byWhy your brain is literally wired to keep scrolling (and it's not entirely your fault)The stat about 60 days a year that will stop you coldWhat your phone might actually be helping you avoidThe real, science-backed evidence that your brain can bounce back — fastCome for the laughs.

    S5E5- Are We Too Sensitive to Just Say It?

    Send us Fan Mail Have you noticed something shifting in the way people talk — the words they choose, the ones they avoid, and how much gets lost in the translation? Terri and Sandi are sitting down for one of those conversations that starts with a small observation and turns into something much bigger. They're asking the questions most people skirt around: When did direct become a bad word? What's really getting lost when we keep softening everything? And can you be honest and kind at the same time — or did we forget that was always an option? No lectures. No judgment. Just two friends saying the quiet part out loud. This is the conversation you've been having in your head. We just said it first. 🔗 Join the community and keep the conversation going at newroadsnewrules.com Support the show Stay connected with us!

    S5E4-The Women Who Saved Us

    Send us Fan Mail You know exactly who she is. The one who showed up when everything fell apart. The one who answered the phone, sat with you in the hard moments, and refused to let you go through it alone. This week Terri and Sandi are diving into the friendships that carried us, the ones that surprised us, and the ones that appeared in seasons we never saw coming. They're also getting into what science actually says about female friendship — and it might just stop you in your tracks. Plus a Rule of the Week and Your Turn you're going to want to hear — and one that might make you pick up your phone the second the episode ends. Hit play.

    Born in '70: My, How Things Have Changed

    Send us Fan Mail What does it actually cost to be alive in 2026 — compared to the world we were born into? Terri and Sandi were both born in 1970, and this week they're getting into it. From 36-cent gas to $4 a gallon. From a $17,000 house to a $436,000 house. From buying a brand-new vinyl album for $3.33 to dropping $45 on a colored vinyl reissue of the same record. The numbers alone will make your jaw drop — but the conversation goes way deeper than price tags. Here's what's on the road this episode: 💰 What everything cost in 1970 — and what the same things cost you today 🏠 Homes, cars, groceries, gas, concerts, and movies: the real math nobody wants to do 🎵 Vinyl's back, baby — and it'll cost you 📺 How technology, communication, dating, and daily life have been completely rebuilt from the ground up 🎂 A birthday episode for Sandi — because turning another year older is worth celebrating and roasting 😂 Two women who lived through all of it, keeping it real, keeping it funny This episode isn't about complaining — it's about perspective. We came from a different world. And honestly? Some things were better. Some things are way better. And some things we're still processing. This one's for you if: — You were born in or around 1970 and the prices in this episode will personally victimize you — You want some laughs with a side of "wait, WHAT?" — You believe honesty and humor are the best tools for surviving anything — including inflation Support the show Stay connected with us!

    Season 5 Episode 2- Tai Chi... or Are We Just Walking in Slow Motion?

    Send us Fan Mail "If I see one more woman in flowy linen pants gliding through a park on my feed, I’m going to lose it." Be honest—how many times has that exact ad followed you across the internet today? You know the one: soft lighting, tranquil music, and the promise that if you just walk very slowly, your stress will evaporate and your "inner glow" will return. In this episode of New Roads, New Rules, Sandi and Terri are diving deep into the Tai Chi walking phenomenon. Is it a transformative ancient practice for modern-day burnout, or is it just the latest wellness trend trying to sell us a $200 pair of "breathable" trousers? We’re getting real about: The Algorithm Trap: Why it feels like the internet knows exactly when you're stressed and starts pushing "slow-mo" solutions.The Linen Pants Aesthetic: Is the "wellness look" more important than the actual practice?The Real Tea: We separate the genuine health benefits from the over-the-top marketing hype.Whether you're a lifelong practitioner or someone who just wants to know why their Instagram feed looks like a yoga retreat in the Hamptons, this conversation is for you. We’re stripping away the filters to figure out if we’re actually finding zen... or if we're all just walking in slow motion.

    Season 5, Episode 1 "Nobody's Perfect: What We Don't See Behind the Highlight Reel"

    Send us Fan Mail You know that feeling when someone's life looks absolutely perfect from the outside — and you're over here wondering what's wrong with you? Yeah. Terri and Sandi are calling that out in the very first episode of Season 5. This week, they're pulling back the curtain on some of the most iconic, successful women in the world — and what was actually happening behind the highlight reel. From Britney to Selena to Carrie Fisher to Christina Applegate — women who looked like they had it all... while quietly falling apart, fighting back, or just trying to survive. But here's the thing — this isn't gossip. This is a mirror. Because if Simone Biles can walk away at the Olympics and call it strength... if Viola Davis can talk openly about poverty and shame and still become one of the greatest of her generation... then maybe your messy middle isn't a sign that you're failing. Maybe it's just proof that you're human. Terri and Sandi kick off their one-year anniversary season the way they always do — honest, funny, a little unfiltered, and completely in your corner. You'll also get the debut of two brand new Season 5 segments, including a Permission Slip that might just be exactly what you needed to hear today. This one hits different. Don't miss the ride. 🚙 Support the show Stay connected with us! Follow New Roads, New Rules on social media for updates, behind-the-scenes content, and empowering discussions.
