Leisure EN ↓ 397 episodes

Cozy Conversations with The Sister Project is hosted by sisters Lauren Massarella and Michelle Anderson. Michelle hit a breaking point trying to balance full-time work, motherhood, and caring for their mom with dementia. That moment gave birth to a new life philosophy: slow down, care less, do nothing. It’s not just a mantra—it’s a middle finger to burnout. Rooted in Midwestern warmth and wit, their weekly episodes are unfiltered, full of big laughs and cozy inspo.
