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.

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.

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.

In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa step into a conversation that has been simmering for a long time. Faith and Freedom explores how personal belief, public power, and democracy are colliding in ways that shape everyday life. They share personal stories about faith, talk openly about the rise of Christian nationalism, and name why the separation of church and state matters now more than ever. This is not a sermon or a debate. It is a real conversation about conviction, compassion, and protecting the space for difference — because how we live this out together will shape the kind of world we pass on.

If conversations like this leave you craving space to breathe, reflect, and connect with women who care deeply about the world too, our next retreat might be the perfect place to do it. Join us in Palm Springs, California, February 27 to March 1, 2026 for our next Best Chapter Yet weekend retreat. Picture sun-soaked days, big conversations, and a circle of dynamic women who are ready to live their next chapter with intention and heart.

In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa lean into the question behind the title What to Feel (WTF) because lately both meanings apply. When the world keeps throwing curveballs, it is hard to know whether to rage, cry, laugh, or shut down entirely. Together they talk about the emotional whiplash of this past year, the grief beneath our anger, and how to keep hope alive when it feels like everything is unraveling. It is a conversation about empathy, resilience, and remembering that however you feel right now, it is okay. You're not alone!

After a year of holding so much, maybe what comes next is space to breathe again. Our next Best Chapter Yet weekend retreat in Palm Springs will offer just that—a chance to rest, reconnect, and rediscover your own momentum. Join us February 27 to March 1, 2026, for a few unforgettable days of clarity, courage, and connection. All the details and registration are here.

In this episode of The Things We Know, Lisa and Kari get real about power and the many ways it shows up in everyday life. They talk about the difference between power that controls, power that tries to help but sometimes misses the mark, and power that is shared and lifts everyone. Along the way they share what this looks like in their own lives, in coaching, and in community. They also name the quieter kinds of power that often go unseen, like supporting someone from behind or holding space so another voice can shine. This is an honest and practical conversation about rethinking power and noticing how our choices can open up more connection and possibility.

In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa talk about the small but powerful difference between reacting and responding. They share where this shows up in their own lives as moms, caregivers, partners, and friends, and how easy it is to either blow up or shut down when emotions take over. They offer simple practices that help create a little space before we act, like naming what we are feeling, breathing, or even finding humor in the moment. This conversation is about being gentler with ourselves, showing up more clearly for the people we love, and remembering that even one pause can change the whole tone of a relationship.
