Mixing Up Midlife

Welcome back! It's our first episode of season 2! Can you believe it?! we celebrate the new year, by wishing Melissa a happy birthday then talk about what we watched over the break. Melissa watched Handmaid's Tale and Terri went for Bridgerton. Then CLUBHOUSE came onto the scene and we've been taking a deep dive into this new, audio only, social app. It's like live radio and you're the DJ. Terri is loving hosting rooms and Melissa is listening in and learning. If you're eager to get on Clubhouse, listen in!

This is the last episode for 2020, but we'll be back in mid January! Even though we're taking a break for the holidays and some much needed rest, we'll still be active on Instagram & in our Facebook group, Mixing Up Midlife Discussion. You can always reach us by email, too! We'd love to know what you're up to and how you're challenging yourself, living creatively and redefining the aging "norms" as women in midlife, empty nesters or over 50 adventurers.

We had so much to talk to Tammy about, that we turned this episode into a two parter. Go back and listen to Episode 51 to hear about the money archetypes, which were fascinating. The Close the Fist exercise is an easy way to slow your spending roll and be a bit more intentional when you do spend. Hot Flash of the Week: Terri isn't into sending holiday cards and sending them is a yearly fight with her husband that she always loses. No cocktail this week.

We’re talking about difficult conversations surrounding the election and COVID and how we (mostly Melissa), put the lessons we learned from our last episode to use. We move from serious to light with singing in the car, turning our mentions of cheerleading into a game and we talk about our Weekend Watch. We both loved The Queen’s Gambit, Had all sorts of thoughts on the Netflix holiday movie, Dash & Lily and sang a few bars of Terri’s favorite Christmas song, Fairytale of New York (Not Galway Christmas) by the Pogues. Melissa finished Schitts Creek, watched PBS’s Rise of the Nazis https://www.pbs.org/show/rise-nazis/. We’re both watching The Undoing and both think it’s fun to have to wait for something that’s good. Terri adapted a cocktail and infused her own vodka with chai spices. It was a bit extra, but totally worth it! Chai Spiced Mule https://www.liquor.com/recipes/chai-spice-mule/ Keep sending us your splits.

In this episode Terri & Melissa wonder where their flexibility went. Are the days of death drops and center splits gone forever? If Kyle Richards from RHOBH can do them, can our hosts? We'll be following this Youtube video for a month and might post our own videos in our PRIVATE Facebook group. It's Ladies only in this group, sorry guys! This week's cocktail is the Clermeil. You can find the recipe here We've got a new segment for you called the Weekend Watch. We're loving The Queen's Gambit, The Mandolorian, Lenox Hill and Affliction. The Holidate wasn't a favorite, but if you like Hallmark Style Holiday movies with some swearing, you might enjoy this!

Terri and Melissa start this show by talking what they believe- or don't! Do you think your loved ones who've passed watch you during your more intimate moments or are they just there when you need them? We then talk to Roy Tomko, a Psychic Medium based in Rutherford, NJ. Roy talks about seeing people in spirit, how coming out as a Medium was tougher than the first time he came out, what a reading might look like and how Zoom makes the connection easier. You can find Roy at his website: https://www.spirittalkwithroy.com On Facebook, On Instagram and On YouTube
