Episode Synopsis


The holidays are here, and they’re hitting different this year. Amy shares that she isn't hosting Thanksgiving this year for the first time in a while and throws in a short cut hack from Sams of a prebaked Turkey.  Lisa shares how this season marks her first without her mom and the grief her dad is carrying, declaring he doesn’t want to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas anymore. We talk about what that feels like, the weight of traditions, and how to keep showing up when your heart’s not in it. Amy gets into her DIY science project for homemade room fresheners (you’ll either be amazed or mildly concerned), and we debate the snack of the season: pomegranate seeds vs. Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Plus: being early vs on time or late and sticking to your commitments, good news for women and hormone replacement therapy breakthroughs, annual chemo-versary fundraisers, and a borax hack for dry skin that might be genius (or reckless—we’re still deciding).
