Feeling unsure about what you actually want in a relationship after years of dating, marriage, or doing what you thought you were supposed to do? In this episode, the three of us get honest about dating in midlife, divorce and identity, and how your understanding of partnership changes after 40. We talk about choosing unavailable partners, lowering expectations, learning what makes a relationship feel safe, and why wanting to be chosen can quietly shape the wrong decisions. You’ll laugh, cringe, reflect, and feel less alone in your own relationship questions.

This episode starts with a confession about first-class flights, vacation splurges, and skincare habits, and quickly turns into a surprisingly honest conversation about money, worth, and what spending actually means at this stage of life. Natali, Carina, and Nicki talk through budgeting triggers, growing up with scarcity, privilege, ego purchases, and the quiet shift from chasing dopamine buys to choosing what truly feels good. Along the way, they debate handbags, cars, airline lounges, and why time might be the most expensive thing of all. It’s funny, reflective, and deeply relatable. You’ll laugh, cringe, and probably rethink at least one thing sitting in your cart right now.

This episode begins with a surprisingly heated debate about hot air balloons and quickly turns into a full-blown conversation about missed moments, quiet dreams, and what everyone wants to say yes to in the new year. Natali, Carina, and Nicki talk about goals they keep postponing, relationships that need fresh energy, fancy sleep nights, pickleball friendships, and how small rituals can completely change how life feels. It’s reflective without being heavy, funny without trying too hard, and full of those “oh wow, same” moments that sneak up on you. You’ll laugh, feel inspired, and maybe start planning a hot air balloon ride of your own.
