What happens when Christmas week collides with tech glitches, family expectations, strong opinions, and your inner Type-A fixer? You invite the Queen of Non-Overwhelm onto the podcast and tell the truth.

In this episode of Pink Lady Posse, Sandy sits down with Kathy York to talk about overwhelm, boundaries, and the radical power of the word no. From iron-pill exhaustion in Kathy’s 20s to non-anxious presence in her 70s, this conversation is equal parts wisdom, humor, and holy exhale.

If the holidays make your blood pressure spike and your perfectionism come out swinging, this episode is your permission slip to fly the plane calmly, embrace imperfection, and create a Beautiful Holiday Experience — even when things get messy (because they will).

This week, I sat down with the warm, wise, and wonderfully no-nonsense Melinda Chapman, a money and life strategist whose voice feels like a soft blanket and a firm nudge at the same time. Together, we dove straight into the messy truth so many women over 50 are living: pouring money into their dreams… while quietly going broke behind the scenes. Yep. We went there.

Melinda brings decades of lived clarity—corporate finance, motherhood, homeschooling, homesteading, and now guiding women back to their center—to talk about why so many of us are overspending on shiny tools, undercharging for our magic, and waiting for confidence to magically appear before making the big ask. Spoiler: confidence is not the appetizer. It’s the entrée that comes after action.

This conversation is juicy, tender, and a little audacious. It is for every woman who has woken up thinking, “Wait… am I the only one not making $10k months?” (You’re not.) And it’s for every woman ready to make bold choices, prune what isn’t serving her, and come alive again in her second half of life.

What do you do when life hands you two medical plot twists, a heart transplant, a breast cancer diagnosis, grief, anxiety, and a world that keeps calling you “strong”? In this conversation, I sit down with my dear friend and guide, Kristina Langston, to talk about what it really looks like to walk through it all with support, humor, and a stubborn commitment to joy.

Kristina shares the story of her husband Juan’s heart transplant and her own breast cancer journey—from the shock of hearing “it’s the C-word” to chemo chairs lined up so she could walk to the bathroom, to the anxiety that didn’t show up until after the treatments were done. She talks about the power of language, how labels (like “widow” or “in remission”) land in the body, and why she refuses to keep speaking words that don’t match the future she’s creating.

We explore healing as a deeply human, spiritual, and very practical process: asking for help, letting people love you, listening instead of fixing, and finding your posse of truth-tellers. We also dive into Kristina’s retreat, Holy Dirt & Sacred Fire, and how reconnecting with the earth, each other, and our own voice might be the bravest way to face the second half of life. This is an episode for every woman who’s ever thought, “All the good is behind me”… and is ready to believe there’s more.
