Hers for the Taking: Real Talk on Reaching the Top. An Interview with author Tracey Newell

Mic Drop Moments with Sekou Andrews

We are so excited to bring a very special guest, Sekou Andrews, creator of the album Koumami, to this week’s podcast. Sekou is an award-winning entrepreneur, a GRAMMY-nominated spoken word artist, and the creator of “poetic voice,” which is a new speaking category that combines inspirational speaking with spoken word poetry, like “Hamilton” meets “TED.” Be inspired and start rethinking what is possible. And yes, we do ask him for a special “hype ending” and wow does he deliver! Come join us on this electrifying journey!

60 is the New 30 - Prepare NOW!

Eileen says it best…“if it wasn’t for my disintegrating joints, I do feel like I’m in my thirties.” We all agree, there is A LOT of trauma happening at Target! Just ask Grandma Patty! Freeballing in muumuus and rocks in socks boobs are probably in all of our futures. Renée glitches her way though life and the podcast.   Why do we always feel younger than our actual age? The ladies discuss this in detail and agree that old age is always 20 years in the future! Plus, how do the different generations view aging? As usual we don’t have all the answers, but we talk a lot anyway!

Online Dating - The Good, The Bizarre, and The Murder!

Renee questions if some companies may not have everyone's best interest in mind when they market their products….NO (S$%@) KIDDING!! Eileen has initiated the official dating challenge! It’s unanimous, no murder dates for Patty! This week, the ladies discuss online dating and, surprisingly, keep pretty much on topic. No worries though, you are still going to laugh while learning about bizarre dates and how exhausting it really is to be good at online dating! This episode might be best listened to over a glass (or 2) of wine because you are definitely going to start thinking about your own dating history - the good and bad!!

Do We Really Need This?!

Eileen confirms that bears do indeed shit in the woods and she pees at Camelback. Wine is always the perfect gift. Fast fashion will be the end of us all. Eileen will not be buying Birkenstocks anytime soon but insists penguin sweaters are a staple. Meanwhile, Patty and Renee will most likely be wearing the same shirts every other podcast. Learn what we REALLY think are only landfill items!

Invisible Labor

June Cleaver was our mom’s role model. It’s hard to shake that in one generation. Eileen is still affected by the childhood drama of her father spelling her name incorrectly…YIKES! We all love people visiting, but what we love most is when they leave. Renée wins for having the most “live in guests.” Patty’s wisdom for the perfect motherhood experience….be a single mom of ONE daughter.   In this episode, we delve into the invisible labor and emotional heavy lifting many moms do every day. And, as typical with our conversations, we tend to solve one problem and bring up many more. Oh well, it just means we have to keep making podcasts until all the world’s problems go away.
