90's Blockbuster Movie Magic!

Adventures in Gardening!

Over the past few years, both Meagan and Sarah have become more serious about that quintessential midlife lady leisure pursuit, gardening: but each with her own specific approach. From containers on the deck for Meagan to raised beds for Sarah, fruit trees for both, and a perennial garden that Meagan hopes will eventually develop into a wild garden straight out of a storybook, in this episode the ladies share what they’re growing, how they’re growing it, and how their approach to gardening continues to evolve.  Find an expanded episode story with photos and links at http://www.midlifeladyleisurepursuits.substack.com.  Thank you to our exclusive podcast sponsor, Vionic!

Cooking for One!

One of the nicest surprises of being a midlife lady: eventually, you get to step away from the production-line approach to meal-planning and cooking and start cooking for yourself - JUST yourself again. From happily repetitive meal-planning to dishes we put a lot of thought and time into once and then enjoy for days, to charcuterie-for-dinner and more, this episode is all about the way we feed ourselves, when we’re the only ones we have to feed.  Find an expanded episode story with photos and links at http://www.midlifeladyleisurepursuits.substack.com.  Thank you to our exclusive podcast sponsor, Vionic!

Road-Tripping Our Roots!

Meagan recently returned from a two-week road trip across French Canada with 17-year-old Clara, where the two explored the places their ancestors once called home. In this episode, Sarah asks all the questions: What does an ancestry road trip actually look like? How do you prepare? What would you do differently next time? What moments felt surprisingly emotional, and what unexpected discoveries happened along the way? From scheduling genealogy tours to striking out at graveyards to walking the actual block where their great-great-great+ grandmothers lived, you’ll hear about Meagan and Clara’s trip…and maybe be inspired to plan your own!

We Have Night Thoughts!

From solving song lyrics we’ve mis-sung for decades (Beauty School Dropout, anyone?) to amazing business ideas to wildly improbable disaster scenarios, midlife minds have a way of serving up the most…interesting thoughts at the least convenient time. In this episode, Sarah and Meagan are talking about the amusing, frustrating, occasionally profound and mostly-random “night thoughts” that keep us staring at the ceiling in the 3 AM hour.  Find an expanded episode story with photos and links at http://www.midlifeladyleisurepursuits.substack.com.  Thank you to our exclusive podcast sponsor, Vionic!
