151. From The Metaverse To Flip Phones
Mixing Up Midlife
02/17/23 • 27 min
Terri & Melissa are pondering the metaverse and the anti-metaverse. While the future of AR & AI are expanding at breakneck speeds, Gen-Z is taking comfort from things in the past, namely flip phones and digital cameras from the 90’s. Speaking of things from the 90’s, low rise jeans, butterfly embellishments, cargo & parachute pants are also making a reappearance. This year’s Super Bowl ads had a fair number focused on & featuring women of all ages.

128. Always Be Learning Something & What to Watch This Summer
Mixing Up Midlife
07/08/22 • 31 min
Terri & Melissa have got you covered. On today’s episode, Melissa began her summer adventure- she & her husband are trying out living and working in a new state to see if it’s a place they might want to retire in. They’ve already hit the ground running with hiking and biking, but getting into the work from home routine has been a bit tougher.
Terri’s summer adventures have included balancing a social life in her new community with keeping out of the neighborhood drama, trying to find a space to work, while work is being done on the house and in the Always Be Learning Something (ABLS) spirit of the show has started to learn to drive a motorboat, which for her is fairly terrifying.
We talk about what to watch this summer, with Better Things & Pamela Adlon giving Melissa all the feels, the pros & cons of commercials. We let you know what we’re(Terri) watching on TikTok, why Melissa prefers YouTube.
