Episode #26: Feeling like passing ships as life pulls us in different directions, it's time to anchor and catch up on summer adventures! From laughter-filled trips to Santa Cruz and the glitzy scenes of Vegas, to the tranquility of gardening with tomatoes and peppers thriving under the sun, we're sharing stories of vibrant journeys and local plans. Though a trip to Japan was averted by a twist of parental intuition, the thrill of Nate's 18th birthday brings a new chapter of responsibilities and passport renewals. As we cherish the companionship of our beloved pups and the steady presence of John amidst the experience of empty nesting, our summer is a blend of nostalgia and new beginnings.

In a world of constant change, wellness has become our compass, guiding us through life's transitions, especially as we navigate the waves of menopause. With a vision of bonding over a karaoke night and the transformative power of walking, we’re embracing both community and health. As we share personal stories of weight gain and health hurdles, acceptance emerges as a key theme, supported by solutions like hormone replacement therapy. Walking, a simple yet profound practice, offers solace and vitality, while our focus on protein-packed nutrition—featuring recipes like paleo pancakes—adds fuel to our active lifestyles. Join us in celebrating the joys of movement and the nurturing power of connection.
