Sage Sisters

This week we are getting real about finding ease and joy in the stage of life that is honestly a lot. Parenting, work, friendships, marriage, and everything in between — we are sharing what is actually working, what we are letting go of, and how we are learning to hold it all a little looser. No perfect answers, just honest conversation from two sisters who are figuring it out in real time. Come sit with us.

We brought in Dr. Lori Sanford, board certified dermatologist, because aging gracefully sounds great but we also have questions. Lots of them. What actually works, what is overhyped, how do you start with injectables without looking like a completely different person, and what does a real skincare routine look like for a busy mom in her 40s. Dr. Sanford gives us the real talk on what to do at home, what is worth spending money on, what perimenopause does to your skin that nobody warns you about, and the one thing every woman in her 40s should be doing right now. Never hurts to ask the experts so you don't have to figure it out alone. This one is for every mom who wants to look and feel great and has absolutely no time for nonsense.Everything is not awful: University of Tennessee students build custom rugged wheelchair for newly paralyzed friend Tech tip: Turn off short in YouTube and avoid any platform with Shorts/doom scrolling.
