In this episode, Lisa and Kari sit down with international speaker and visibility expert Kimberly Crowe to talk about finding your voice and letting it work for you, especially in the middle chapters of life. They explore why so many women stay hidden, how the stories we tell ourselves shape our confidence, and what begins to shift when we choose visibility over perfection. Kimberly shares her journey from early speaking experiences to thousands of stages around the world, along with her philosophy that business and self-expression can be both meaningful and fun. It's a warm, encouraging conversation about midlife reinvention, storytelling as a path to connection, and the small, brave steps that help a voice grow stronger.

In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa sit down with Dr. Nelva Lee to reflect on how embracing life's turns helped define the path she ultimately built. Nelva reflects on a career spanning healthcare administration, education, entrepreneurship, and community advocacy, and how building systems to support multilingual, immigrant, and underserved communities emerged through lived experience rather than linear planning. She shares how faith has guided her leadership and service, why midlife has become a season of intentional challenge and growth, and how continuing to push herself physically, most recently by running an ultramarathon, feels essential to staying alive and awake to her own life.

If this conversation resonated and you're craving space to reflect on your own pivots, growth, and next chapter alongside other thoughtful women, there is still a short window to join Kari and Lisa at Unstoppable: A Best Chapter Yet Retreat, happening February 27 through March 1 in Palm Springs, California. It's an invitation to step into clarity, connection, and forward movement in a supportive, judgment-free circle, and it's coming up quickly.

In this episode of The Things We Know, Lisa and Kari use the psychological thriller All Her Fault as a doorway into a much larger cultural conversation about how quickly women are judged, blamed, and morally scrutinized. Through the intertwined storylines of working mothers, caregivers, and a woman whose life has been shaped by inherited guilt, they explore how blame lands differently on women than on men, how motherhood is policed through impossible standards, and how judgment often disguises itself as concern. Drawing on research, cultural patterns, and familiar moments from pop culture, this conversation invites listeners to slow down their own reflexes, notice who gets the benefit of the doubt, and consider how awareness itself can begin to loosen these patterns.

If this conversation stirred a desire for something different than judgment or fixing, and you're craving an empowering, safe, and genuinely loving circle of women where you can show up without being evaluated, there is still time to join Kari and Lisa at Unstoppable: A Best Chapter Yet Retreat, happening February 27 through March 1 in Palm Springs, California. It's an invitation to step out of scrutiny and into connection, reflection, and forward movement with women who know how to hold space without verdicts.
