In our 30th Episode of Gracefully & Frankly (thank you for keeping us going!) Lisa and I talk about matters of life and death, and the gentle good-byes I’m getting from our dear elderly friend, preparing us for her departure…the silliness of FOMO about a movie or two…the freelancer’s ongoing searches…and who’s hiring people OUR age because we’ve less at stake!

Today’s Episode 23 of Gracefully & Frankly comes with a trigger warning because Lisa brings up something that happened to her at the hands of a trusted family friend. If this might resonate a little too deeply, take care. We also discuss therapy, some amazing advice she got, and why we all need to work on trusting our intuition! Thank you for sharing in this conversation. #friends #childhood #trauma #predators #seniors #therapy #mentalhealth #podcast

This week, Lisa and Erin tackle the touchy, even dangerous subject of giving compliments and the people in our lives who just don’t want them (maybe you, too). Plus, foods we don’t see much anymore - thank goodness - and when a back-up plan to remember falls through miserably - and hilariously. Join us for Episode 22 of Gracefully and Frankly. Set a reminder and pay attention to it (not like Erin)!

We take it ALL off in Episode 21 of our Gracefully and Frankly podcast.
