Midlife Lady Leisure Pursuits: Episode 484



Knitting, sourdough starters, book clubs and more! As Meagan’s and Sarah’s lives continue to evolve with older kids and launched adults, we’re finding space for hobbies and interests that may sound surprisingly … cliché? Today we’re leaning all the way into our status as midlife ladies, and chat about the leisure activities we’re currently dabbling in, what we’re ready to elevate to the next level, and a few dreams we hope to incorporate into our lives. Enjoy!

HELPFUL LINKS:
