What if the thing you keep saying you’re “not the type of person” to do is exactly the thing you should try?

This week on Uncluttered and Unfiltered, Christine Stone and Eden Kendall are talking about side quests—those unexpected, low-pressure adventures we take simply because they sound interesting, exciting or fun. Eden shares what happened when she stepped completely outside her comfort zone and signed up for a stand-up comedy class, even though she never intended to become a comedian.

Over six weeks, Eden had to write, rewrite and perform a “tight five” minutes of comedy while accepting feedback from a room full of strangers. She opens up about the nerves, the self-doubt and the surprising confidence boost that came from taking the stage. Christine also shares her reaction to seeing Eden perform—and why she and Eden’s husband were both shocked by how naturally funny she was.

The hosts also hear about the side quests women in their community are pursuing, from exploring future retirement destinations and taking day trips to creating museum-worthy sculptures out of aluminum foil, connecting people with potential partners and friends, teaching yoga, and quietly doing thoughtful things for others.

It’s a funny, encouraging conversation about trying something new, embracing beginner energy and refusing to let fear—or the fear of embarrassing yourself—keep you from having a little adventure. And yes, you’ll hear a clip from Eden Kendall’s very first stand-up performance.

Here are some of Christine's finds including eye masks.

In this episode of Uncluttered and Unfiltered, Eden and Christine talk honestly about long-term marriage, changing over the years, and the idea of “quiet quitting” a relationship. They are not talking about leaving a marriage or falling out of love—they are talking about what can happen when life gets busy, routines take over, conversations become mostly about schedules, and couples begin to feel more like roommates than partners.

They share thoughts on the realities of marriage after 50, including navigating empty nesting, adult children, aging parents, work, health concerns, and simply being tired at the end of the day. They also discuss accepting that neither person is the same one they were decades ago, making space for each other’s changing interests, and finding small ways to stay connected.

Why does that day still feel so vivid? Why can one song, one image or one story bring it all rushing back?
