In this episode, Tracy and Shannon talk about temperaments—how they’re wired differently, how that wiring shows up when tension hits, and why they’ve stopped calling it “fighting” and started calling it what it really is: squabbling. They unpack how past experiences, insecurities, and nervous systems collide, what actually causes conflict, and how learning each other’s temperament has helped them repair faster, argue cleaner, and stay connected even when things get messy.

In this Valentine’s Day episode, Tracy and Shannon reflect on how love has evolved over time and why it feels different now. From childhood Valentine’s boxes, Love’s Baby Soft perfume, and school carnations to Valentine’s brunch at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, they revisit the memories that once shaped their view of love. They share what Valentine’s Day looks like today: quiet dinners at home, handwritten notes, flowers given a week early, and a love that feels practical, appreciated, and safe.

Tracy and Shannon reflect on their 40s: a decade marked by freedom, reinvention, and finally feeling at home in themselves.

For Tracy, her 40s brought independence, slowing down, skydiving at 41, buying a cabin, learning to say no, and ending the decade feeling secure for the first time. Shannon shares how her 40s reshaped her through marriage, parenthood, becoming an athlete, solo international travel, and finding confidence in her body and voice.

Tracy and Shannon reflect on a decade that shaped them in very different ways. Tracy opens up about identity, instability, and the life-altering discovery that shattered her sense of family, while finding grounding through her career. Shannon shares what it meant to “adult hard” as a pregnant 30-year-old, breadwinner, and eventual single mom navigating burnout, shame, and a stress-induced breakdown.

In the kitchen, Shannon makes potato nachos, a fun take on her two favorite foods, while Tracy attempts a cosmopolitan with what she has in the house.
