Ladies let's open our closets! In this fun and funny episode we talk with Jacqui Getz, a New York based stylist who helps women in midlife translate who they are becoming into what they wear. Who do we get dressed for in the morning? Why do we buy the clothes we buy? And how can we add creativity and zing to our lives just by getting more intentional about what we choose to wear? We get into it all, and we go deep as Jacqui shares her personal journey of grieving the loss of her husband just weeks ago, and how she is finding strength in getting dressed, and defining who she wants to be in this new chapter of her life. Join us for an oh-so-relatable conversation about what we wear and what it says about how we feel about ourselves, who we are, and who we might want to become at this time in life.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Eleanor Roosevelt

Join us as we chat with Jaimie Krem, friendship scientist and founding director of the UCLA Center for Friendship Research. We discuss how friendship is a “silver bullet” in terms of the many health benefits it brings, including improvements in cardiovascular health, sleep, immune function, and reduced risk of mental illness and dementia. Jaimie describes how venting to your friends can be a manipulative, but effective social strategy. We contemplate the differences between men’s and women’s friendships, ponder what to call the process of “friend flirting or dating,” and examine the importance of intergenerational friendships. Finally, for those more wonkily inclined, Jaimie discusses her fascinating research on the neuroscience of friendship.

And don’t forget to hang around for our “After Thoughts” where Lori and Constance unpack the episode and chat about our thoughts on what we heard.
