Today Tracey and Colleen peel at the edges of that conversation by chatting about being GenX women who were children of the 70s/80s, why it doesn't matter if an outfit is "flattering" or not, the GLP1 trend, and the difference between Body Positivity and Body Neutraility. Grab a friend, up a chair and join the conversation!

On today's episode Colleen and Tracey share how their roles as caregivers in recent months have been both beautiful and brutal - "brutiful" as Glennon Doyle often says.

Please listen with this in mind and be good to yourself.
