There’s so much heaviness out there right now — wars, crises, politics, social tension — and it can easily pull us out of the present and into overwhelm.

In this episode, we talk about how we’re trying to stay sane and bring our best selves without getting completely swallowed by the news cycle and stress of the world.

It’s an honest conversation about how we are dealing with the news around the world without letting it dominate our entire life.

We go back and forth on how we each approach the news (sometimes off, sometimes on), how our emotions can get wrapped up in it, how there’s so much we won’t ever be able to fully understand, and what it looks like to send love, prayer, and positive energy into the world and to our leaders anyway.

Plus: a little Golden Globes discussion including Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carol Burnett Award acceptance speech which was gorgeous in every way.

What if getting older isn’t the problem — but how we think about aging is? 🧠✨

In today’s episode, we talk about why mindset matters more than the number of candles on the cake… and yes, we also tell the story of the moment someone mistook David for Elyse’s father😅

(Enter: Papa Dave.)

A conversation about aging, perspective, and staying curious, alive, and connected — no matter the number.

New Year’s resolutions can feel motivating — or they can quietly suggest that something about us needs fixing.

In this episode, we talk about the tension between growth and self-acceptance. David shares why traditional resolutions can feel like a necessary reset, while Elyse offers a different perspective — one rooted in positive affirmations and honoring who we already are.

We explore how intentions, language, and mindset shape the way we move forward, and whether growth has to come from a place of dissatisfaction at all.

This conversation is about choosing a way forward that feels supportive instead of critical — and finding progress without the pressure.

If New Year’s resolutions have ever made you feel behind, off-track, or like you haven’t been doing enough, this episode offers a gentler alternative.
