This month we read Forty Love by Jane Costello! We talk about why this midlife rom-com hit so close to home, from empty nesting and letting your kids go to rediscovering yourself and realizing it’s never too late to start something new.

We discuss the inspiration behind the book, crafting a mystery, and why fiction gave him the freedom to tell a completely different kind of story.

I welcome back Danese Rexroad for a one-year check-in on my friends’ menopause health journey. Stacey and Cathy share what they've learned over the last year from bloodwork and hormone therapy to perimenopause symptoms, energy levels, sleep, and learning how to prioritize our own health. They share what's improved, what's still challenging, and why this process has been much more of a marathon than a sprint. Danese discusses why so many women are told their symptoms are just part of aging, how hormone health is deeply connected to overall wellness, and why feeling heard by your healthcare provider can make all the difference.

This week’s Book Club might be our most divided one yet because we finally read A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) by Sarah J. Maas. One of us loved the fantasy world, the romance, and the drama and some of us absolutely could not get past the growling, the flowery language, and the “sheathing” scene. We also get into why fantasy resonates so deeply with readers, the appeal of escapism, and how books like this become gateway reads for people who normally don’t read at all. Whether you’re Team Rhysand, Team Tamlin, or completely confused by fairy smut, this was such a fun discussion.

Eliza Reid never expected to become First Lady of Iceland which is exactly what makes her story so interesting. We talk about growing up in Canada, traveling the world alone, proposing to her husband, moving to Iceland without speaking the language, and eventually stepping into one of the most public roles imaginable. What I loved most about this conversation was how much we talked about trusting yourself, taking chances, and learning to take up space. Eliza also shares what it was really like becoming First Lady with no rulebook, no staff, and no preparation for the role.

Joe opens up about how hard it was going back on the road after having his son, the identity shift that happens when you become a parent, and why he’s intentionally slowing down his career to focus on family. We also talk about his comedy special Dad on Arrival and how becoming a dad has shaped this next chapter of his comedy.

Art and Ashton from Trilogy Media join me to break down how modern scams actually work. From romance scams, fake customer service calls to AI voice scams, crypto fraud, and the psychology behind why people fall for them. What shocked me most is how sophisticated and emotional these scams have become, especially for older people and anyone going through a vulnerable time in life. We also talk about how Trilogy Media went from making viral scam-bait videos to working with the FBI, Homeland Security, and law enforcement to expose international fraud rings and help stop scammers in real time. Some of these stories are unbelievable.
