In this soul-stirring (and slightly sassy) episode, Shelley and Mary pull back the curtain on the exhausting cycle of always trying to prove yourself. Especially when you're a woman, a person of color, or anyone who's ever felt underestimated. Spoiler alert: the glow-up comes when you stop proving and start becoming.
Shelley opens up about her empty-nester era — equal parts freedom and "what now?" —while Mary shares her journey of unlearning the grind and owning her truth. From handling anxiety to managing expectations, these two don't shy away from the hard stuff.
There's laughter. There's vulnerability. There's talk of sequined dresses and backup dancing (yes, really). Most of all, it's a reminder that you don't need permission to grow, say no, or take up space in your full magic.
What We’re Wild About this Week
There's something about this time of year that feels like an exhale. I'm wild about crisp fall mornings that call for layers, long walks, and coffee that actually stays hot. It's officially sweatshirt and soup season, and I'm here for all of it—hearty bowls, cozy textures, and that early-evening golden light that makes you pause without even realizing it.
I'm also leaning into MSU football season—not so much for the game (let's be honest), but for the gathering. The joy of familiar faces, shared snacks, and those tailgating and game time conversations that somehow mean more than the score. It's connection season. A reminder that warmth isn't just in the weather, it's in who we spend our time with. ~Shelley
I'm wild about momentum — that sweet spot where hard work starts to feel lighter because you can actually see the results. ~Mary
