Spring Break

#195 Spring Break Download | Play in New WindowIn our Spring Break episode, we discuss the switch from soups to salads, getting outside for exercise and new beginnings. Spring is in the air, and we’re feeling energized to shake things up—both in and out of the kitchen.

Look Back. Leap Forward!

#193 - Look Back & Leap Forward with Chris and Jill Download | Play in New Window As 2025 comes to a close, Chris and Jill slow things down for a thoughtful end-of-year conversation. Instead of a highlight reel or checklist of accomplishments, this episode focuses on reflection, intention, and what it really means to age strong — physically, mentally, and emotionally. They also share an important announcement: for the first time in eight years, the podcast will be taking a January hiatus, returning refreshed in February 2026. We discuss: Reflection Over Perfection Why Chris and Jill chose reflection instead of a traditional year-end recap Aging with intention rather than chasing perfection Why rest and reflection are essential parts of strength — especially after 50 What actually mattered to you this year — not...
