In this episode of Real Talk After 50, we get real about the friendships that actually matter—the ones that grow with you, challenge you, and don’t flinch when you say, “Hey, if I die first, you’re in charge of the playlist.”

We talk about supporting each other through chaos, cheering on questionable decisions, sharing emergency contacts (because yes, we have each other’s kids’ numbers), and planning each other’s funerals with equal parts love and sarcasm.

This one’s for the friends who stick around when life gets weird, hard, or hilarious—and who aren’t afraid to call you out when needed.

👯‍♀️ Tag your ride-or-die in the comments and tell them you’ve got the funeral snacks covered.

In this episode of Real Talk After 50, we’re diving into the power of laughter—especially the kind that comes with a side of sarcasm and a well-timed F-bomb. We explore why giving your friends a hard time (with love, of course) is actually good for your health, how cussing is linked to intelligence, and why laughter might just be the best way to get through life’s messiest moments.

Because when life gets hard, sometimes all you can do is laugh…and maybe swear a little. Or a lot. No judgment here.

💬 Join the conversation and tell us: what’s the funniest thing that got you through a tough time?

What happens when you suddenly get to make all your own decisions—but realize you don’t even know what you want for dinner? In this episode, we talk about the emotional (and practical!) journey of navigating divorce after years of putting everyone else first.

We explore:

* The awkward freedom of making choices again
* Letting go of guilt and learning to center ourselves
* The hilarious confusion of not knowing our own preferences
* Moving from victimhood to gratitude and self-trust

This is for anyone who’s had to rebuild, re-identify, or reheat leftovers they didn’t even like. We’re not therapists—we’re two women over 50 figuring it out in real time, and sharing the mess and the meaning with you.
