New Roads, New Rules

Born in '70: My, How Things Have Changed

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/fan_mail/new] What does it actually cost to be alive in 2026 — compared to the world we were born into? Terri and Sandi were both born in 1970, and this week they're getting into it. From 36-cent gas to $4 a gallon. From a $17,000 house to a $436,000 house. From buying a brand-new vinyl album for $3.33 to dropping $45 on a colored vinyl reissue of the same record. The numbers alone will make your jaw drop — but the conversation goes way deeper than price tags. Here's what's on the road this episode: 💰 What everything cost in 1970 — and what the same things cost you today 🏠 Homes, cars, groceries, gas, concerts, and movies: the real math nobody wants to do 🎵 Vinyl's back, baby — and it'll cost you 📺 How technology, communication, dating, and daily life have been completely rebuilt from the ground up 🎂 A birthday episode for Sandi — because turning another year older is worth celebrating and roasting 😂 Two women who lived through all of it, keeping it real, keeping it funny This episode isn't about complaining — it's about perspective. We came from a different world. And honestly? Some things were better. Some things are way better. And some things we're still processing. This one's for you if: — You were born in or around 1970 and the prices in this episode will personally victimize you — You want some laughs with a side of "wait, WHAT?" — You believe honesty and humor are the best tools for surviving anything — including inflation Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/support] Stay connected with us!

Season 5 Episode 2- Tai Chi... or Are We Just Walking in Slow Motion?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/fan_mail/new] "If I see one more woman in flowy linen pants gliding through a park on my feed, I’m going to lose it." Be honest—how many times has that exact ad followed you across the internet today? You know the one: soft lighting, tranquil music, and the promise that if you just walk very slowly, your stress will evaporate and your "inner glow" will return. In this episode of New Roads, New Rules, Sandi and Terri are diving deep into the Tai Chi walking phenomenon. Is it a transformative ancient practice for modern-day burnout, or is it just the latest wellness trend trying to sell us a $200 pair of "breathable" trousers? We’re getting real about: * The Algorithm Trap: Why it feels like the internet knows exactly when you're stressed and starts pushing "slow-mo" solutions. * The Linen Pants Aesthetic: Is the "wellness look" more important than the actual practice? * The Real Tea: We separate the genuine health benefits from the over-the-top marketing hype. Whether you're a lifelong practitioner or someone who just wants to know why their Instagram feed looks like a yoga retreat in the Hamptons, this conversation is for you. We’re stripping away the filters to figure out if we’re actually finding zen... or if we're all just walking in slow motion. Hit play and let’s get into it. 🎧✨ Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/support] Stay connected with us!

Season 5, Episode 1 "Nobody's Perfect: What We Don't See Behind the Highlight Reel"

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/fan_mail/new] You know that feeling when someone's life looks absolutely perfect from the outside — and you're over here wondering what's wrong with you? Yeah. Terri and Sandi are calling that out in the very first episode of Season 5. This week, they're pulling back the curtain on some of the most iconic, successful women in the world — and what was actually happening behind the highlight reel. From Britney to Selena to Carrie Fisher to Christina Applegate — women who looked like they had it all... while quietly falling apart, fighting back, or just trying to survive. But here's the thing — this isn't gossip. This is a mirror. Because if Simone Biles can walk away at the Olympics and call it strength... if Viola Davis can talk openly about poverty and shame and still become one of the greatest of her generation... then maybe your messy middle isn't a sign that you're failing. Maybe it's just proof that you're human. Terri and Sandi kick off their one-year anniversary season the way they always do — honest, funny, a little unfiltered, and completely in your corner. You'll also get the debut of two brand new Season 5 segments, including a Permission Slip that might just be exactly what you needed to hear today. This one hits different. Don't miss the ride. 🚙 Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/support] Stay connected with us!

[REPLAY] The Body Transition: What No One Tells You About Menopause & Weight

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/fan_mail/new] If there is one episode that sparked more "Oh my god, me too!" messages than any other this year, it’s this one. As we prepare for Season 5, we knew we had to bring back this powerhouse conversation with Dr. Sarah Stombough. If you’ve felt like your body "changed the rules" without giving you the manual, this replay is your survival guide. Why does everything that used to work suddenly stop working in our 40s and 50s? In this fan-favorite encore, Sandi and Terri get real about the frustration of shifting hormones and the "midsection mystery." We aren't just talking about calories; we’re talking about chemistry, compassion, and clarity. In this deep-dive replay, we revisit: * The Hormone Shift: What is actually happening to your metabolism during perimenopause? * Beyond "Eat Less, Move More": Why the old rules of weight loss can actually backfire in midlife. * The Medication Conversation: A non-judgmental look at GLP-1s and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). * The Compassion Shift: Moving from "shaming" your body to "supporting" your transition. Why Re-listen? Even if you heard this in February, the science and the support in this episode are worth a second pass—especially if you're feeling a mid-year slump in your health journey. Dr. Stombough’s insights are the "New Rules" every woman needs in her back pocket. Join the Conversation: Did this episode change how you look at your body?

[REPLAY] The Year of YES: Why We’re Doubling Down for Season 5

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/fan_mail/new] Before we pave the first mile of Season 5, we’re looking back at the episode that changed the GPS for all of us. Whether you heard it in January or you’re joining the road trip today, the message hits differently when you’re standing at a new crossroads. As Sandi and Terri dive into pre-production for our biggest season yet, we’re revisiting the fan-favorite that started it all: The Year of YES. In midlife, "Yes" usually feels like another chore on the to-do list. But in this breakthrough episode, we’re unlearning the "Yes" of obligation and reclaiming the Yes of Intention. In this encore presentation, we’re diving back into: * The Overthinking Trap: Why women in midlife default to "analysis paralysis" and how to snap out of it. * The "Purposeful Yes": How to filter your opportunities so you’re only saying yes to things that actually fuel your fire. * Self-Trust 101: Moving from "What will they think?" to "What do I know?" * The Original Rule: Revisit the rule that set the tone for the entire year. Why Re-listen? If you’ve spent the last few months feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this is your permission slip to reset. Grab your coffee, turn up the volume, and let’s remember why we started this journey in the first place. Join the Conversation: While we’re in the lab building Season 5, we want to hear from you! Has your "Year of YES" turned into a "Year of Success"?  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2470017/support] Stay connected with us!
