  • The Lost Art of Play
    Jul 22 2025

    Recorded right after the budget bill was voted in, first Lisa and Kari have their feelings then they realize this episode is more important than ever. They explore why play matters for adults—especially during times of stress and uncertainty. From spontaneous laughter to imaginative role-playing, play isn’t just a luxury—it’s vital for connection, healing, and mental health. Drawing on research from experts like Stuart Brown and the Blatners, they unpack why adults often resist play and how we can reconnect with our playful selves. With personal stories and thoughtful questions, they invite listeners to remember the kind of fun that once lit them up—and maybe still could.

  • Legacy of Caste : The House We Live In and the Cracks in the Foundation
    Jul 15 2025

    Kari and Lisa had other plans for this week’s episode—but the world felt too heavy to ignore. They returned to Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents because it offers something essential right now: a way to understand the invisible structure beneath so much of the chaos, cruelty, and division we’re witnessing. In this conversation, they break down key ideas from the book, reflect on their own roles in the system, and connect the dots between caste and current events—from ICE raids to economic inequality to the enforcement of social hierarchies through fear and policy. This episode is about seeing what’s really holding us back—and deciding what we’re willing to do about it.

  • When Love Languages Evolve
    Jul 8 2025

    In this episode, Kari and Lisa revisit the familiar concept of love languages—but with a much-needed upgrade. Drawing from personal experience, recent articles about research, and a sharp cultural critique, they unpack why the original framework, while helpful, doesn’t fully reflect the emotional realities women live today. They explore what’s missing—like mental load relief, shared enthusiasm, and alone time without guilt—and offer a richer, more honest take on how love is felt, expressed, and received in midlife and beyond. This is a conversation about expanding connection, not narrowing it—and evolving what love looks like now.
