(#23) - “Are Your Friendships Built for the Good Times, Too?”(...because popping champagne should be a group sport)

Épisode 23

vendredi 4 avril 2025 • Durée 19:23

Hey Hoops & Glossers,

We always talk about who shows up when life hits the fan—but what about when life rocks? In today’s solo episode, I’m spilling all the tea on friendship: the kind that cheers you on when you’re winning, not just when you’re wounded.

After a whirlwind weekend where my college besties pulled off an epic surprise trip to celebrate one of us landing a dream promotion (spoiler alert: there were tears, joy, and probably champagne), I started asking myself this question:

👉 How am I showing up for my friends… really?

We get into:

Why we wait for funerals to say how we really feel 😬
The silent heartbreak of unsupportive friends
What to do when your glow-up makes others uncomfortable (hint: it’s not about you)
And the actual magic of a handwritten card 💌 (Millennials, don’t panic—I explain)

Oh, and I’ve got a little challenge for you at the end. Let’s just say it involves kindness, connection, and maybe a stamp. 😉

So whether you’ve got ride-or-dies or you’re feeling a little friendship-famished lately, come hang out. Midlife friendship is weird, wild, and 100% worth it.

xoxo

(#22) - “Sharing a Roof, a Wi-Fi Password, and Way Too Much Time Together” - with Papi

Épisode 22

vendredi 28 mars 2025 • Durée 31:07

What happens when your marriage, your office, your kitchen, and your sanity all exist in the same square footage?

Melis' husband, Shannon (aka Papi), is back on the pod — and they’re getting hilariously honest about what it’s really like to work from home… together. From dining-room Zoom calls to deli-meat crime scenes, they unpack the highs, the lows, and the “please pretend I’m not here from 9 to 2” moments that come with sharing space 24/7.

This episode doesn’t pretend to fix it all — but it normalizes the mess and gives listeners tools and perspective to feel less alone in the chaos.

💡 In This Episode:

The kitchen is not a conference room
Tips for setting boundaries without setting the house on fire
Why needing alone time isn’t personal (even if it feels that way)
The power of therapy, meat snacks, and the occasional car call

🎧 Listen now, laugh with us, and share it with your favorite frazzled couple.

And if you’re loving Now What?!, leave us a 5-star review!

(Anything less? Keep it moving. We’re Uber driver rules around here. 😘)

Until next time, Hoops and Glossers — stay sane, set those boundaries, and remember: it’s okay to need space (even from the one you love). 💛

xoxo

It’s TIME to GRAB YOUR GLASS OF MILK and BUCKLE UP while you listen to Melis and her bestie Alicia recap the Nicole Kidman movie, BABYGIRL!
