We sit down with Stephanie Hansen – cookbook author, TV host of Taste Buds with Stephanie, and author of the novel The Moon Tavern – to explore what it means to age well, work with purpose, and own your value in midlife and beyond.

In this candid conversation, we cover:

• Perimenopause, menopause, and why they’re determined the next generation of women will have better information
• Stephanie’s winding path through radio, entrepreneurship, cookbooks, and fiction
• How travel and food in Croatia shaped The Moon Tavern
• Stephanie's core mantra: no one really knows what they’re doing – they’re just doing it
• Navigating the emotions of turning 65

You’ll walk away inspired to start where you are, say your dreams out loud, and curate a third chapter that feels full of flavor, purpose, and possibility.

Katie and Lisa begin with a candid chat about writing, confidence, and how they’re using both life experience and AI to organize their creative ideas. They’re then joined by author and cultural historian Peg Guilfoyle, who shares how a lifetime of reading, theater work, and close observation led to her book An Eye for Joy—and why, especially in a heavy world, training yourself to notice small moments of goodness can shift your mood, deepen your connections, and change how you move through your days.

What happens when an East Side St. Paul, Minnesota girl turns a love of nature, kids, and creativity into multiple careers—from fairy bedrooms to restaurants, hospitals, and luxury moss walls? In this episode, Ty (Tyanne) Hitchcock shares how she went from Refunk Your Junk to Morgan Evan Thorne, winning ASID showcase awards and landing Minneapolis–St. Paul Magazine features, then reinventing herself again with Ty Hitchcock Creates, designing large-scale moss walls for restaurants, hospitals, and luxury homes. She opens up about navigating the 2008 crash, her husband’s NFL career, becoming a grandmother, parenting a child with Type 1 diabetes, and still saying yes to a new passion project (now available). Hear how she built a life and career on self-led creativity, deep observation, and genuine connection, proving you don’t need a formal roadmap to design a magical, meaningful path.
