Road-Tripping Our Roots!

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!

Let's Get Dressed!

Buying clothes is one thing - but actually putting together an outfit for whatever the day brings? Not always so straightforward! In this episode [https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/6b04be69-5040-4083-820e-e68b6a614639/stream.mp3] Sarah shares her struggle in opting out of “living the sloppy life” as a style default, while Meagan shares the challenge of dressing for the many different facets of her life (does a girl really need 15 different versions of her chicken-chores outfit?) Plus: evolving silhouettes, dressing bodies that don’t feel the same as they did five years ago, the search for the perfect layering piece, and why pockets have officially become non-negotiable.Find an expanded episode story with photos and links at http://www.midlifeladyleisurepursuits.substack.com.  Thank you to our exclusive podcast sponsor, Vionic!

Big Idea Energy!

“I have a crazy idea.” Sarah has gotten used to hearing this particular phrase from her co-host over the years. In this episode the two use the brand-new book festival Meagan recently created from scratch to dissect what it looks like to bring a big idea to life, and how all the experience, skills, connections and confidence gained in early adulthood make midlife the perfect time to try something brand-new. If you’re mulling over an idea that you’re afraid to move on, or just wondering how to make more space in your life for big-idea energy, this episode will inspire you!  Find an expanded episode story with photos and links at http://www.midlifeladyleisurepursuits.substack.com.  Thank you to our exclusive podcast sponsor, Vionic!
