  • Midlife, Menopause & Empty Nesting: A Gen X Conversation with @PeachesAndDiesel104

    Midlife, Menopause & Empty Nesting: A Gen X Conversation with @PeachesAndDiesel104
    Jan 6 2026
    What if midlife isn’t a slow fade into invisibility, but the most confident, ridiculous, and joyful chapter yet? All month long in January, we’re revisiting the best of our most downloaded, most shared, and most talked-about conversations from 2025—and this episode is a true greatest hit. In this laugh-out-loud conversation, I’m talking with the wildly relatable Peaches of Peaches and Diesel 104, the Instagram phenom who’s turned Gen X midlife into must-watch comedy. From menopause mishaps and rogue eyebrow hairs to empty nesting, friendship, marriage, and saying “yes” to absolutely absurd ideas (Dateline murder binders, wedding dress try-ons, goat yoga—yes, really), nothing is off-limits. Peaches shares how her platform unexpectedly blew up during the pandemic, why women in midlife are more powerful (and less apologetic) than ever, and how humor and friendship can carry us through big transitions—menopause included. Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It. 🎧 Bonus tip: This episode includes plenty of visual “show and tell,” so be sure to watch it on YouTube for the full experience!

  • Holiday Survival Guide: Why Family Is Hard… and Still Matters

    Holiday Survival Guide: Why Family Is Hard… and Still Matters
    Dec 16 2025
    As we head into the season of gathering, giving… and gritting our teeth at the dinner table, we’re revisiting one of my most popular conversations — with Harvard happiness expert, Professor Arthur Brooks. The research is clear: the happiest people in the world have one thing in common — strong family connections. But what if your family drives you nuts? What if the group chat is a minefield and you’re already bracing yourself for Aunt Marge’s political monologue? If you struggle with family dynamics, you’re not alone. It’s normal. In this episode, we unpack why we need our families even when we don’t always like them, the neurobiological wiring that keeps us connected, and why conflict doesn’t mean failure. If you’re heading into this season with mixed emotions, this one will help you navigate the tension. Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It. Listen in to learn more (0:30) — Family dynamics (1:40) — Happiness / “science of happiness” (10:30) — Neurobiological connection / sense of self (14:50) — “Love without liking” (25:30) — Conflict vs. schism (estrangement) SUMMARY In this episode, we are diving into estrangement in families, expectations in parenting and family relationships, the differences between family connections and friendships (and why we need both!), the science of how family connects us to a sense of self, how much effort you should put into family relationships, common challenges that make family life complicated, the difference between conflict and schism in relationships, a call back to intergenerational living, and advice for managing conflict in family relationships.

    Ask Us Anything, Pt 2: Parenting Fails, Holiday Chaos and Life After TV
    Dec 9 2025
    In part two of our annual Ask Us Anything series, John and I tackle your questions about the messy world of parenting, surviving the holidays, and what life really looks like after stepping away from TV. We get into all of it — how we handled (and mishandled) the sex talk with our kids, why the teenage years nearly broke us (and what ultimately helped), and the backwards parenting advice we wish we could give our 30-year-old selves. We also talk holiday traditions and how unprepared we actually are every December. It’s very us — flannels, real talk, and all. Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It. Listen in to learn more : (04:30) How to Handle “The Sex Talk” With Kids (12:00) Holiday Stress, Traditions & the Reality of Being Unprepared (20:30) Parenting Advice for Your 30s: Let Them Fail Forward (30:30) Surviving the Teen Years & Planned Emancipation (44:30)College Search, Leaving New York & Life Reset Reflections In this episode, we are digging into holiday prep and holiday traditions, parenting advice for parents in the little years, tough parenting seasons and coming out on the other side, parenting as partners, helping our teens make college decisions, and taking the risk to start over in a new place.
