More Than Mom: Are We Basic?

Trader Joe’s. Yoga. Book Club. Cute boots and crunchy leaves. Today Meagan and Sarah just want to know: “Are we basic?” Join us for a fun More Than Mom episode with deep thoughts on this totally fluffy topic, including a look back at different eras in our lives when we’ve been trend-averse and other times when we’ve embraced mainstream culture. We talk about how it’s not as easy as it sounds to “like what we like” and leave it at that, why Midlife Lady Basic is different from youth culture (duh), and how, at the end of the day, we’re all just humans who like and dislike certain things, right? Enjoy!

LINKS MENTIONED:

  • Are you dying to know how BASIC you are (according to Buzzfeed)? Take the quiz and let us know! 
  • Sarah shared a quote from Gretchen Rubin about how enthusiasm is a form of social courage. 
  • Sarah and Meagan will be talking this topic in the next subscriber-only community on instagram this month. To learn more about our subscriber community hop over to Instagram and click on our subscribe button on our profile page.
