New Beginnings After 40

Things That Make Us Crazy!

On this episdoe of New Beginnings After 40 , we're talking about the things that drive us absolutely BONKERS! Crazy, Angry, Unhinged, Boiling. All good words to describe the pet peeves and everyday frustrations that push os over the edge. You will probably recognize and relate with a few of them. Come laugh, vent, and feel seen as we unload about the stuff that makes us go a little nuts.

There Are Two Types

Which type are you? Jen made a list of completely opposite types of people and the girls laughed as they answered which type they were... Early bird or night owl? Pretty sure during the weekly update that Lori either said that Kimberly is dumber than her daughter or that Alyssa is smarter than her Kimberly. Either way, same thing, and that is what we all want for our children, but Kimberly's reaction was greatness. Let's all check out Bunko for Babies and help support teen mothers. And who hasn't left the house with a dryer sheet stuck to their clothes at some point? It's a thing. Check out our list and let us know which type you are and if you thought the list was lame!

Bring It Back, Please!

Today the New Beginners are discussing nostalgic items! Mood rings, Duck Hunt and boomboxes! Lori can wear some units (anyone remember those?), Jen should get a perm and watch out for Kimberly and her giant video recorder. Times really have changed. Do we miss the simpler times? We all remember the beginning and ending of MTV. Lori also updates on her podcast setup, and Jen and Kimberly tell us about their trip to Grapevine. Remember, every day is a new day!

"It's 2026 - And We're Ready to Conquer"

Let's go, 2026!! Happy new year, New Beginners!!! Are you all ready to conquer this year? The girls share what they are planning to conquer this year. Let's work on positive thinking, purchasing less unnecessary items online, and being better friends (Jen!). Good luck, Lori, getting through extremely busy January at work! We love you, girlfriend. And, good luck, Kimberly on your new classes. You got this! Jen, keep grinding. We need to have an episode with the fun delivery box. That sounds like a blast. And does anyone want to do a selfie scavenger hunt with Jen? Please!

The Joys and Pains Of Christmas

Tis the season for twinkling lights, holiday traditions and shopping stress. The gang discusses the joys and pains of decorating, shopping and keeping gifts surprises. Do you guys shake the gifts under the tree? Kimberly shares her tricks for keeping gifts a surprise. Good job to Santa's little helpers, Joey and Alyssa, for helping make the holiday a little less work! It is possible that all of our Christmas decorations will still be up in March. Is Jen sore because of decorating or because of date night? Why does Kimberly have a concussion? Lori finished up her F1 podcast for the season and we are all looking forward to hearing what comes next after the break. And Sammi chewed through the Christmas tree lights! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, New Beginners!
