Welcome to the first full episode of our podcast! We’re Jess and Lisa—best friends, moms, and professionals in our forties—figuring out the messy middle of life together. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin between work, family, and your own aspirations, you’re not alone. This is the space where we unpack the real, raw, and sometimes hilarious moments of navigating personal and professional growth at the same time.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• January is the longest month of the year, and this year it has some fun existential dread peppered in
• Lisa unpacks what it means to take up space, especially in a male-dominated workforce. She struggles with not wanting to take up time and resources from others at work, and recognizes this is holding her back.
• Jess unpacks the difference between a "manager's schedule" with lots of meetings, and a "creator's schedule" that allows for deep, uninterrupted work. She is trying to find ways to prioritize exercise and self-care within her schedule as an entrepreneur, which needs to accommodate both manager and creator schedules.
• Both ladies look for the adult in the room, only to realize that it's them.

Tune in next week as we dive into overachievement and stress—we can’t wait to unpack it with you!
