• Getting Braver Instead of "Better"
    Jan 6 2026

    Lisa Callahan and Kari Morin are back! Here to open Season Four of The Things We Know by retiring the familiar pressure to be better and asking a different, more honest question. What if this year is about being braver instead. In a world that feels heavy and uncertain, they explore what courage actually looks like in midlife and in these times. Not perfection or optimization, but emotional honesty, softened strength, clear boundaries, and the willingness to be seen as we are. Through personal stories about caregiving, grief, identity shifts, friendships, parenting adult children, and the courage required to stay present rather than numb, they reflect on the small, everyday acts of bravery that help women move forward without abandoning themselves.

    Because bravery is easier when it is practiced in community, Lisa and Kari also share what they witnessed at their Brave and Boundless retreat last Fall, and why they are so excited about their next gathering, Unstoppable: A Heroine's Journey, taking place February 27 through March 1, 2026 in Palm Springs. This retreat offers women a chance to explore their stories, reclaim their courage, and step into the year ahead with support, connection, and intention. There's still time to register, and spaces are filling, but the invitation is simple: come be held in community, explore your next chapter with support, and step into the kind of courage this new season is all about.

  • Winning Streak
    Dec 23 2025

    In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa wrap up a tough year by exploring a surprisingly uplifting idea called the winning streak. Inspired by creator Charlie Rocket and expanded through the somatic work of Melanie Mishler, they talk about how naming even the smallest things that are going right can shift how we experience progress and resilience. This conversation is not about forced optimism but about noticing what is steady and good, even in uncertain seasons. It is a reminder that momentum often begins with one simple truth: things are still working, even when life feels hard.

  • Beyond the Echo Chamber: Staying Informed Not Just Outraged
    Dec 9 2025

    In this episode, Kari and Lisa dive into a conversation many of us feel but rarely name: how easy it is to slip into information bubbles without even realizing it. They explore what happens when our news feeds narrow, our assumptions harden, and the algorithms learn us a little too well — and they offer a refreshing, compassionate look at how to stay informed without losing ourselves in outrage or overwhelm. With practical tools, surprising research, personal stories, and a few gentle invitations to stretch beyond our comfort zones, this episode is all about cultivating curiosity, discernment, and a more grounded relationship with the media we consume. It's not about politics — it's about awareness, agency, and choosing the wider lens. Tune in for an honest, energizing reminder that we can all break out of the echo chamber and reconnect with nuance, complexity, and each other.

  • Cumulative Knowledge
    Nov 25 2025

    What if the answers you keep searching for are already in you? In this episode, Kari and Lisa explore the idea of cumulative knowledge — the way life quietly teaches us through repetition, resilience, relationships, and the stories we carry. It's a conversation about the wisdom we forget we have, the old scripts we're still running, and the surprising ways our lived experience shapes what we do next. If you've ever underestimated what you already know, this one will feel like a deep exhale and an invitation to trust yourself more.

    If this conversation reminds you of all you already carry, imagine giving yourself a few days to honor it. Join us in Palm Springs, California, February 27 to March 1, 2026, for our next Best Chapter Yet weekend retreat. Learn more and register here.

  • Midlife Movement and Motivation
    Nov 18 2025

    In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa talk honestly about movement and motivation in midlife. Not the glossy version, but the real one that includes shifting energy, caregiving, perimenopause, creaky joints, and the moments when even finding your sports bra feels like a workout. They unpack what it means to move through the world at this stage of life with strength, humor, and self-respect. The conversation explores how motivation looks different now, why reactivity gives way to resilience when we care for our bodies, and how movement can be simple, powerful, and deeply personal. It's not about perfection or performance. It's about staying connected to yourself and creating a life where movement feels like coming home.

    And if talking about movement has you picturing some sunshine and space to exhale, we've got the perfect idea. Join us in Palm Springs, California, February 27 to March 1, 2026 for our next Best Chapter Yet weekend retreat. Imagine warm desert air, wide open skies, and a few unforgettable days surrounded by dynamic women ready to move forward in their own lives with strength and joy.
