#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. Chris shares the excitement (and learning curve!) of getting a new bike and figuring out all its features, while Jill has been enjoying time on her e-bike and the freedom it brings to get outside more.

194- Heart Health After 50: Strong Hearts, Strong Women Download | Play in New Window February is American Heart Month, and we’re using this episode to reframe heart health in a way that feels empowering, practical, and realistic for women over 50.

In this episode, we talk about what really matters for heart health after menopause—food, movement, strength, stress, sleep, and mindset—and how small, consistent habits make a powerful difference over time. Heart Health Is Self-Care Heart disease remains the number one cause of death for women, yet it is often under-discussed—especially among women who are active and otherwise feel healthy. After...

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...
