    Ep. 70 - From “Stalker Guy” To Stand-Up Husband: Stacey Finnegan On Love, Loss & Second Chances

    What happens when life, heartbreak, and fate conspire to bring two people together… twice? In this heartfelt episode, Stacey Finnegan shares the serendipitous love story that began with a “no” at a fashion show and turned into a lifelong partnership built on faith, friendship, and fiery resilience. From running a boutique while working corporate to surviving bankruptcy, a devastating house fire, and finding love again later in life, Stacey’s journey is a testimony to healing, hope, and timing that can only be divine. You’ll hear how a “stalker guy” became her husband, how their shared values forged an unshakeable bond, and how grief became the gateway to a life they never expected. Plus, we explore Stacey’s inspiring leap into jewelry design with To Roam With Love, her creative business transforming coins into wearable memories. Whether you’ve loved and lost, are starting over, or are craving a story that renews your belief in love, this episode is for you.

    Ep. 68 - Is Hustle Culture Killing Your Joy? How To Rewire Your Life For Ease, Fun & Real Success

    What if the reason you’re stuck, stressed, or burned out isn’t because you’re doing too little—but because you’ve been taught that everything valuable has to be hard? In this episode, we dive deep with Roberta, founder of The Joy Experiment, to unpack how ditching the grind mindset and reconnecting with your energetic values can completely transform your work, relationships, and self-worth. From overcoming perfectionism and generational pressure to finding joy in everyday life (yes, even pickleball!), we explore what it really means to become available for what you're asking for—without white-knuckling your way through it. You'll learn why ease doesn't mean lazy, how to spot beliefs that are secretly blocking your success, and how to reframe the emotional habits that keep you in hustle mode. Whether you're a planner, a people-pleaser, or someone ready to reclaim the fun, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about your worth, your goals, and how much more beautiful life can be when it flows.

    Ep. 65 - The Great High Noon Shortage, Midlife Me Time, And Why We’re Not Apologizing For Either

    What happens when your favorite vodka seltzer vanishes from every bar, gas station, and grocery store overnight? In this episode of Sweet & Spicy, Andrea and Carolina dive into their hilarious, slightly obsessive mission to find High Noon—and uncover a bigger conversation about midlife preferences, consumer loyalty, and the power of women-driven influence. From bar hopping to sleuthing out production details, they paint a vivid picture of how one drink can spark a movement (and possibly a sponsor pitch!). But this isn’t just about seltzers. It’s about the evolution of downtime. As two women navigating their 40s and 50s, they unpack why “me time” has never been more necessary—or more sacred. Whether it’s lounging by the pool, playing pickleball, traveling with intention, or unplugging from the digital chaos, they explore how self-care looks different now—and why honoring it matters. Get ready for a conversation that’s equal parts refreshing and real.
