    This week's powerful conversation with Talia Schneiderman focuses on the magic of accountability and her brainchild, Harvest Goal Collective, founded with her bestie Stephanie Exner.

    As women on a mission, we know how crucial a supportive tribe can be. That's why we're thrilled to share Talia's insights on why accountability groups are game-changers for smashing goals. She's all about fostering a space where vulnerability meets action, and it's seriously inspiring.

    Talia spilled the beans on turning your dreams into doable plans by getting them down on paper, and we're here for it. She's a pro at reminding us to cut ourselves some slack and pivot when things don't go as planned.

    We even give you a front-row seat to an accountability session with Ana that's pure gold. Talia reveals the value in active listening and getting crystal clear on what we're chasing.

    And let's talk boundaries—saying 'no' can be tough, but Talia guides us through shaking off the guilt to make room for what truly matters. Sharing struggles? Check. Giving and getting advice? Double-check. This conversation is all about leveling up by locking in your priorities and making self-care non-negotiable.

    So, if you're ready to harness the power of accountability and join a community of goal-slayers, tune in. Together, we'll explore how to keep our ambitions on track and our wellness in check.

    Be sure to check out harvestgoalcollective.com where you can join their free women’s virtual networking community (under events), and learn more about their personalized accountability groups!

    Buckle up, because this episode is packed with insights that promise to enlighten, educate, and inspire a balanced and fulfilling sexual life. We're talking imagination in the bedroom, body-mind-spirit balance, and so much more.

    We are thrilled to feature the one and only Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, where we have an uninhibited discussion about sexual health and its undeniable influence on our overall happiness and well-being.


    Dr. Greenleaf uncovers the surprising truth that sex goes way beyond pleasure—it's a fundamental part of our physical and emotional connections. We also learn about the benefits of carving out time for intimacy, even with our packed schedules, and how it can keep the spark alive in long-term relationships. Yes, scheduling sex might seem a bit structured, but she assures us it's a powerful way to ensure we're not neglecting that vital part of our partnership.

    And let’s not forget the eye-opening chat we had about vaginal rejuvenation treatments. Dr. Greenleaf enlightened us on how these can dramatically improve tissue health and, in turn, our sexual satisfaction.

    Navigating the ups and downs of menopause, understanding the delicate dance between hormones and medications, and the nuances in sexual health between men and women—Dr. Greenleaf covers it all. She shares with us the importance of communication and intimacy, and how these play into the fabric of our relationships.

    For all of you wondering about the younger generations and their libido, or how environmental factors are playing a part in our sexual desires, this episode is a must-listen.

    We touch on everything from the anti-aging benefits of sex to the bonding hormone oxytocin, and even the best ways to minimize symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

    This episode is designed to educate and get us all comfortable talking about sex as a fulfilling, fun and essential part of a discussion around our intimate relationships with our partners and ourselves.

    Have you ever found yourself chuckling through chaos, or seeking comfort as life throws you curveballs? Our latest podcast episode is a candid voyage through the waves of change, where we uncover women's deep-rooted instincts to create stability in a world that seems to never stop spinning.

    Transitioning through life's stages can stir up a cocktail of emotions. Join us as we recount our weekends infused with family fun including special concert memories, the pride of sorority ceremonies, and the aching absence of family members who couldn't be there.

    We dive into the tender complexities of parenting, the push and pull of needing to be needed, and the biological marvel of shared cells that bind us to our children. As personal as these stories are, they shine a light on the universal themes of growth, independence, and the pursuit of proximity in both the physical and emotional landscapes of our lives.

    In this heart-to-heart, we don't shy away from the heavier beats of existence, either. Grieving, self-care, and dancing through the emotional funk are all on the table. We share how a simple hip hop class can be a lifeline amid sorrow and how creating lifelong memories can tether us to the future even as we face the inevitable—CHANGE!

    Whether it's getting ready the bittersweet farewells as our nest empties or planning the next family adventure, we reflect on the importance of embracing every transition, no matter the emotional undertow. So listen in, laugh with us, and maybe—just maybe—find a piece of your own story reflected in ours.

    Before we get into this week's "main event" – our private meetup where we discuss the three things we have found to keep you on track as this year continues – let's enjoy some fun stories...

    With the new year prompting us to strengthen our connections, we reflect on the laughter-filled after-party adventures, exploring new activities like the pickleball craze, and the fun of discovering different places to do it all. We're also dishing out the details of a weekend extravaganza, from heartwarming grandkid visits to rocking out at a Cooper Allen concert and an 80s themed birthday bash.

    After catching up on all of our weekend shenanigans, we give you a look inside the private podcast meetup at the Claremont Club, where the rain didn’t keep the event from being standing room only. The array of ages among our attendees was nothing short of inspiring, and the camaraderie shared over delicious bites and amusing mix-ups highlighted the excitement of new friendships being made right before our eyes. Recounting these moments, you'll feel like you were right there with us, sipping wine amidst the laughter and heartfelt conversations.

    Lastly, we share our personal pathways to feeling our best. We start with the evolution of our friendship from Ana’s awkward preteen friendship aspirations to cheerleading and ballroom dancing together, raising children and the impact of wellness these things have had on our lives. We open up about the power of long-lasting friendship, navigating pre-menopause, and the sanctuary found in our growing supportive community through this podcast.

    Thank you to The Spot Cafe for providing amazing small bites and wine. Also, BIG props to The Claremont Club. Your commitment to women's health is much needed in today's ever changing world.

    Do you make it a habit to give yourself a financial check up?

    In this engaging conversation, we, Christy and Ana, dive into the world of financial wellness while also swapping stories about our weekend adventures and discussing the latest reality TV dramas. But amidst the fun, we tackle a serious topic: how our upbringing shapes our financial habits and the pivotal role it plays in managing money effectively. Our dialogue doesn't stop there – we explore how modern conveniences and apps can either empower or derail our financial goals, shedding light on the potential pitfalls of excessive spending.

    But it's not all cautionary tales; we share our savvy strategies for saving for big life milestones like college and retirement, peppered with anecdotes from our own experiences. What's more, we champion the importance of women taking the reins on their financial futures and working alongside their partners to craft a shared vision.

    With statistics showing that a whopping ninety percent of Americans feel the weight of money-related stress, we underscore the importance of keeping a finger on the pulse of our financial health. From setting priorities to embracing mindful spending, we dish out practical advice to help listeners stay on track. So, if you're ready to unlock the secrets to financial well-being and banish money worries, tune in to this episode for an eye-opening conversation that's equal parts informative and entertaining.

    Ever experience a health scare for you or a loved one?

    Well… Hold onto your headphones, because we're diving into a whirlwind of mom moments and pop culture punchlines that'll have you nodding in solidarity one second and snorting with laughter the next.

    Imagine the chill that grips every mama bear's heart when their cub is hurting – Christy felt that icy hand when her daughter had mysterious chest pains.

    Don't think we're getting all gloom and doom on you. We're spinning this yarn with a twist, dishing out anecdotes that involve the inescapable shadow of football mania and the unavoidable musical hook from our beloved pop queen, Taylor Swift. Imagine the family debates – Team Swift versus... well, literally any other music, and the hilarious huddle around the TV for the big game. What's more interesting: the actual football game or the high-profile famous couple, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift?

    We switch gears to the quirky world of charity names that pack a punch. Ever heard of "Homeless Not Toothless"? That name's got us reeling right into a convo about the madness behind such memorable monikers. We're all about a good laugh over a perplexing charity name, but don't be fooled – we're also tipping our hats to Dorit Kemsley, uncovering the method behind the madness in reality TV's star-studded strategy.

    Whether we're gossiping about Annemarie’s obsession with Sutton's esophagus or hoping for a relationship revival for Kyle Richards and Mauricio, we're dissecting the delicious drama and the eye-roll-inducing antics of our favorite Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    Brace yourself as we pivot to the poignant power of a mother's intuition. Ana relates to Christy, sharing her own experience and spilling the tea on a life-or-death decision for her daughter, Haley. This strikes a chord on the trust we place in those mama gut instincts.

    We're sprinkling in some light-hearted pondering on Joe Biden’s fountain of youth and wrapping up with a saucy suggestion for Donald Trump, that must-have clean beauty tanning product that'll have you glowing like you've got your own personal spotlight.

    Get ready to ride the emotional rollercoaster from heart-tugging stories to side-splitting shenanigans.

    Ever felt the sting of cancellation guilt or the weight of the 'yes girl' label? You're not alone, and we're addressing just that. We talk candidly about managing the tightrope walk of commitments and why your well-being shouldn't be left off your to-do list. From strategies on how to decline invitations with grace to prioritizing without the guilt. We're offering insights that might just be the permission slip you need to start saying 'no'. Tune in for a hearty mix of advice, anecdotes, and a whole lot of heart-to-heart that'll leave you feeling ready to tackle your calendar with confidence.
