Between Me and You

85: Be Where Your Feet Are

In this episode two lifelong college friends reunite decades later—this time as moms watching their own kids pack up, move out, and step into the world. This episode is a heartfelt, honest conversation about navigating the “lasts” no one prepares you for: the final high-school game, the final family dinner before move-in day, the last night your child sleeps under your roof as a kid. With humor, vulnerability, and the kind of shorthand only old friends share, they explore the strange new quiet of their homes, the shifting rhythms of family life, and the bittersweet pride of seeing your child become who they’re meant to be. Along the way, they revisit their own college memories, reflect on how parenthood has changed them, and tackle the messy mix of sadness, joy, nostalgia, and hope that comes with this next chapter. Real stories. Real feelings. And two moms trying to figure out how to let go—together.

84: In Memory of Eloise

A mother may never know the impact they have on their children. They may not ever get to see that the love, the strength, the poise and the humor that they filled their home with, will be the very things that carry their own child through the same disease, years later.   “To the person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it.” That’s how Cheryl and Meg met, from a t-shirt Cheryl was wearing at the gym. Cheryl and Meg began what they like to call a “silent friendship.” Always being placed next to one another at the gym not knowing that the simple laughter and eye rolls and sometimes a little TMI, was starting both of their days off with a smile. Meg came on the podcast to share her experience and journey with breast cancer and these two felt like they were side by side at the gym all over again, laughing, crying and talking so much they forgot to pay attention, as the podcast ran for over two hours. I’m honored that Meg chose this space to share her story.

Episode 83: The Good, the Bad, and the Bumpy

On this episode, Ashley Guiffre joins Cheryl and Meg to share her breast cancer journey. Ashley was diagnosed at the age of 37 and had all clear mammograms until one day her doctor saw something they didn't like. After more imaging and testing, she was diagnosed with microinvasive ductal carcinoma  (stage t1mic) ++-.  Ashley endured two lumpectomies followed by 24 rounds of radiation.  She will be on Tamoxifen for five to eight years. Cheryl hopes that in having women share their stories, she can convince others to stay up-to-date with their mammograms.

82: Offline & In Bloom

In this episode Cheryl takes you on a journey through the quiet, meaningful moments of stepping away-from social media, the gym, the pressure to always "do". This is your weekly reminder that life's best moments don't need an audience and sometimes it's good to reclaim your presence, redefine your purpose and start doing things for yourself-not for likes, validation or outside expectations . This is all about the quiet rebellion of stepping back from it all and trying to find the balance: raising kids, working in professions where privacy matters and finding a new rhythm that prioritizes authenticity over performance. Sometimes it's good to step back, shake the bottle, jumble the pieces, and let them fall where they feel fit. This feels good.

81: Grains, Gaps & Glow-Ups

Life is all about balance—fermenting the perfect sourdough, debating the return to Botox, and navigating life with a missing front tooth.
