Episode Synopsis
🎙️ Fearless and Forty – Episode 19: Mid-Summer Funk (and a Side of 45)
Coming in hot (and a little groggy) after a long holiday weekend, we're back with real talk about the post-4th of July crash — you know the one. We reminisce about fun times with friends and family, what we cooked (and overcooked), and the mountain of leftovers that followed us home. Katie shares how she’s been turning those leftovers into creative concoctions to survive the week.
We also get a little personal — Susan turns 45 and opens up about the weird in-between feelings that come with it. She's not quite sure how to feel, but an upcoming trip home might be just what she needs to shake the funk.
We're also reflecting on a milestone: 6 months of podcasting! It's been a wild, fun, and sometimes creatively challenging ride. Is this a slump, or is it just that midlife + mid-summer vibe hitting all at once?
As always, we wrap things up with what we've been watching and reading — your favorite segment returns with fresh recs and honest takes.
🎧 Tune in, commiserate, and catch some laughs. We're all in this summer slowdown together.
