“No, Really… We’re Fine” is a refreshingly honest and often hilarious podcast hosted by two lifelong best friends who are travelling the backroads of life after 50. We share real stories and hard-earned wisdom, with a good dose of humor as we tackle everything from aging and family, to self-care and how did we get here. Whether you’re thriving, barely surviving, or somewhere in between, we’re here to offer encouragement, and a reminder that you’re not alone. Let’s figure this out...together!
After a few quiet months, we're back! Well this episode is just me but Deborah will be back soon. We are easing into things with a shorter episode that asks the question, What do women carry? Inspired by a passage from a book by Maira Kalman titled Women Holding Things. We reflect on the invisible weight so many women carry each day.
