  • This podcast is so stupid…

    … but I have listened to and love every single episode. I was telling my husband about the notebook episode and he was looking at me like I had a third arm that I would listen to two women talk so much about paper weight. But he’s not a midlife lady.

  • Thank God for these women!

    I am so happy to know that there is still a space in thi world where Sarah & Meagan are sharing their lives with us. I can’t express with words how during really difficult times in my life I’ve been able to tune into an episode. It helps so much. It’s like having two of your best friends in a conversation and having no pressure to talk yourself. That is priceless!

  • Fun, Smart, and Light

    This is a great conversational podcast by two intelligent women chatting about lighter things in life. Refreshing and almost as enjoyable as coffee with a good friend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Spilling Tea With Meagan!
Q: What surprises people when they start learning more about tea?
A lot of people are unaware that all true tea varieties come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, with flavors influenced by processing methods.
Spilling Tea With Meagan!
Q: What do you wish more people knew about tea?
Many people think they don't like tea because their experience is often limited to poor-quality brews; tea encompasses a vast category with many different options.
We Watch Birds!
Q: Would you ever see yourself in your later years, like maybe past your early midlife years, going into like your retirement years, joining a local chapter of the Audubon Society or going on a bird watching tour?
100% yes. I don't know how that's going to look, but yes, I'm all in.
We Watch Birds!
Q: Do you have any memories of being into birds or like bird curious or in any way intrigued or attracted to birds before this midlife era?
I racked my brain to see if there was anything there. I have a really little kid memory, like a very, very young memory of seeing a blue heron.
Sarah Thrifts Fashion!
Q: When you go into a thrift store, a charity shop, or when you use an app, do you go in thinking, I want a pair of jeans for this one outfit or I want a dress?
It's open season; I sometimes have a specific need and sometimes I just go with an open mind.
