Dear Midlife...

Whhooo girl! We jump straight into this conversation with our guest Susan Bratton. We were off to the races faster than we could consider what sex would be like if Barbie were in charge instead of Ken! We loved this no holds barred conversation with Susan. Uh can you say "Orgy dome"?!   If you want to know what happens IN the orgy dome, you'll have to tune into our stimulating conve...

Have you ever heard of "Extreme" self-care? And...no. Extreme self-care is not jumping out of a plane into a hot tub where a sexy massage therapist is waiting you, or riding backwards on a motorcycle while painting my toes. No...it's something WAY more dangerous like NOT answering your cell phone or even scarier...turning it OFF completely and plugging it in to charge in the next room! O...

To help us ponder the above question, we welcome our guest Corbie Mitlied who really brings to life (pun intended) the idea of r...

So, today I was in the grocery store and couldn't help but notice that Halloween decorations are already on display. I swear! it seems like big box retailers are pushing consumers towards the holidays sooner than ever before! Then Trinity noticed that Starbucks is making a huge deal about bringing in Pumpkin Spice back into their stores on August 24th! We've started to feel like we can't even enjo...

So, today we have a mind-bending, trailblazing conversation with our guest, GIllian Pothier, that changed the way we perceive masculine and feminine presence in our own daily lives. Gillian helps us to rethink society's negative portrayal of masculine and feminine nature and how it is this portrayal that is creating a self-destructive paradox. Gillian holds the belief that we all contain within us...

So, not long ago, Trinity visited her childhood home and it was a surreal experience for her, as you will hear in our show. She stared into the "eyes" of the home (the windows that faced the street) where she endured so much pain and suffering as a child. She surprised herself as she stood in the street doubled over in pain and grief and wept for that little girl she was so long ago.  Wh...

She's lived all over the world, Paris, London, New York City (damn is there anyplace this woman hasn't been?) and was living life in the fast lane...until life tapped her on the shoulder and said "'Hey girl! Why don't you slow down a bit?" and handed her a cancer diagnosis th...

Girl...we've been single a looonngg time. And, let's face it, building intimate connections and relationships at this age, ain't easy.

So, in this episode, Trinity shares with us how she spent 10 years of her life bound to an extremely religious christian cult in which she was brainwashed, manipulated and forced to adhere to their restrictive practice and policies and made other sacrifices for her community in order to reach salvation in the afterlife. I can't imagine what that must have been like. But, interestingly, I feel like...

You know I (Shelby) once had a friend who told her at a party that she hated being her friend. Of course, she was drunk and maybe a little bit high...but, Shelby was taken aback by the comment nonetheless. But, when she asked why, her reply was even more astounding...You know what she said...?! I  know  you're on the edge of you'r seat or, perhaps, you're actually laughing that I even as...

You know, women in midlife are often starting over in some respects. This time in our lives can be a period of rebirth, reinvention and (if you're Gweneth Paltrow or one of the other fancy schmancy celebs out there) "re-coupling". Regardless, building new relationships at this time in life is imperative, but not always easy. That is an understatement! Girl, have you tried dating these days? And ye...

In this episode, I share story about running with my daughter in the mornings and how difficult it can be at first to try something new and form new habits.

Katherine is a Business & Mindset Mentor...

Our next guest, Elle Hart, took the phrase "empty nest" to the extreme when she simultaneously sent her children off to college and got divorced at the same time. Girl don't mess around! AND, after raising 3 boys and being a stay-at-home mom for 25 years and without ever having had a real job before, she picked up her life and moved halfway across the country to California, where she began life in...

While we live on opposite sides of the country and there were years when we were in rare contact with one another, our friendship of 17 years has grown so strong over time.  We truly respect one another's values and perspectives. We each bring our own unique gifts and strengths to the friendship. Trinity has an inner wisdom and fierce confidence that is unparalled.  It's this confidence...

We've been talking for some time about those moments in our lives that have become sticking points for us. What if there was a way that we could let go of those moments and reset our thinking so we can move beyond our own sticking points? Today our guest, Carolina Suero , helps us harness the power of hypnotherapy to do just that. Through this powerful tool, Carolina helps us and others reconnect...

Our episode today is about the power of our own stories. It started me thinking, Trin, that we haven't truly shared our own stories with our listener... So, the question Trininty asks is, "which story should I share?" We have so many sides and facets to our stories. Trinity once was the scared child, born to a white mother and black father who were both part of the black panther movement. The chil...

Hey, hey Cronies! I know you're probably thinking, "bitch, who you calling 'cronie'?" But, in today's episode, we learn the word "Crone" is the honorific way to refer to a woman standing in her power in midlife!

And, Shelby, we've talked about this before.... the hard thing is...being surrounded by wealth, knowing what IS possible, but then we allow our limiting beliefs to hold us back! Girlfriend....we KNOW you are out there struggling with some of these sam...

Our guest, Philippa Robinson, was under so much stress and pressure that it actually caused her to lose her eyesight!  But, you know....we ALL do it. As women, we put everyone else's priorities ahead of our own. Our needs are ALWAYS the last to be fulfilled...If at ALL, right?!? To our listener out there...we've said this before and we'll say it again...stress and trauma can LIVE in your body...

Have you ever been asked to go out to a club or dinner with a friend on a Friday night...and there was a part of you that wanted to go and a part of you that wanted to stay home? Sometimes on Friday night...we are so exhausted and just shut down, but then equally want to get out of the house! Both of us spend so much time working from home...that sometimes we can feel physically torn about staying...
