    The One Where Christmas Still Takes Our Breath Away
    2025/12/16
    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends.

    This podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    In this episode, we slow down and talk about the awe and wonder of Christmas — the kind that pulls our attention back to Jesus and recenters our hearts in a season that can get loud and hurried. We share how we’re practicing rest, resisting the holiday hustle, and making intentional space to experience the beauty of Emmanuel, God with us. It’s a simple, peaceful conversation to help you breathe a little deeper this Christmas.

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends.

    This podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.


    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    This week’s episode is extra special because our husbands — Paul and Jeff — joined us on the show! 🎙 We asked them about their thoughts and feelings on our podcast, their perspectives on marriage and friendship, and of course their favorite Christmas memories. They may or may not have tried to take over the podcast a few times… but we managed to keep things (mostly) under control. It’s honest, sweet, a little chaotic, and full of Christmas nostalgia.

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    In this episode, we’re joined by Tammy Lanham for a beautiful conversation on joy, celebration, and finding contentment in every season (plus a good laugh about her pink carpet that overstayed its welcome 💕😂). We talk about how comparison steals our joy, the difference between happiness and true joy, and how spiritual practices can draw us back to hope when life feels hard. Tammy reminds us that joy is trusting God in the middle of our circumstances, finding satisfaction in Him alone, and choosing gratitude — even in the small things — because that’s what leads to lasting contentment.

  • The One With Gratitude in Our Relationships

    The One With Gratitude in Our Relationships
    2025/11/11
    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff, this is it!

    In this week’s episode, we’re talking all things gratitude in relationships — but not before debating whether we’re Black Friday shoppers, if raw cookie dough counts as a snack (again 🍪😂), and the right way to load a dishwasher! We dive into how gratitude helps us see the people in our lives as God made them, calling out the good and lifting our relationships to a higher standard. Studies even show that gratitude strengthens connection and satisfaction in every kind of relationship. We also talk about the five love languages, learning to love others the way they receive love, and how a posture of gratitude can heal our minds, souls, and connections. 💛

    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff this is it!

    In this episode, we start with some lighthearted fun—talking crocs as a fashion statement (are they really making a comeback? 👀) and yes… did Sara actually say she ate pig brains?! 🐷😂 Then we shift into a deeper conversation about gratitude, joy, and how mental health research beautifully aligns with God’s Word. We talk about how gratitude is a gift from our good Father that lifts our spirits, how sometimes it’s a choice before it’s a feeling, and how choosing thankfulness can shift our perspective—like a rope that helps pull us out of the pit. No matter the circumstance, the posture of gratitude changes everything. 💛

    The One Where God Gives You Identity in Healing
    2025/10/28
    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff this is it!


    In this final episode of our month-long series on faith in the desert seasons of life, we talk about what it means to walk through hard places without letting them define us. Trauma is not our identity—only God has the authority to name what has happened, and only He gets to define who we are. When we choose to pursue Him in the hard, we step into healing and freedom, living as daughters with a good Father who calls us His own.
