Happy Galentine's

Hosted by Rebecca & Jessica

Valentine’s Day: hallmark holiday, sacred ritual, or just another thing to add to the calendar you’re already managing for everyone else?

In this episode, Rebecca and Jessica unpack the many “-tines” of midlife love: Valentine’s, Galentine’s, and the everyday kind that looks like staying connected when you’re running a household. We talk about how intimacy changes over time, and how Gen Z’s refusal to live in boxes is giving the rest of us permission to rethink love, partnership, and where our needs get met. Along the way, we get into no-candy school Valentines, mom-group dynamics, relationship anarchy, reality TV side quests, frozen car locks, and the real point of all of it: love is bigger than romance, and connection can come from partners, friends, sisters, and the people who help you survive your week.

If you’re celebrating Valentine’s, Galentine’s, or “please don’t speak to me until I’ve had coffee,” you’re in the right place. Come hang out with us.

About the hosts:

Rebecca has spent most of her life organizing, leading, fixing, building, and occasionally overthinking things for others. After decades in corporate and communal leadership, she now works as a coach and guide, helping people navigate life's transitions without losing themselves in the process. She is a partner, a mom, a sister, an auntie, a daughter, a healer, a spiritual teacher and guide, a friend, and a recent dog-mom. Based in California, Rebecca is learning (in real time) how to choose living in alignment with love, truth, and wisdom over the noise of raging hormones and the crumbling patriarchy.

Jessica is a California native who now happily calls Tennessee home — yes, willingly, and yes, she loves it. For the last several years, she has been every kind of mom, including cheer mom, scout mom, room mom, snack coordinator, and calendar manager, to an 8-year-old and a 12-year-old, while also being a wife, daughter, sister, running a business, and leading in the corporate world. Jessica brings heart, sarcasm, and the kind of practical wisdom that comes from juggling a lot and still showing up. She approaches midlife the way she approaches everything: full-on, and with enough humor and prescription hormones to survive it.

Heather has questions. A California girl now rooted in Washington State, she has fully embraced being a dog guardian, fresh air, muddy boots, and starting over. She is an amazing friend, a great big sister, a devoted dog human to her rescue dog, Chance, a community gardener, a bee lover, and a general enthusiast of things that grow. Heather brings curiosity, honesty, and a quiet adventurous streak to the mic. She sees midlife not as something to manage but as something to explore, preferably outdoors, ideally with really good snacks, and always with an open heart.
