From being mistaken for someone buying toys for her grandkids to spending money on things that simply make her happy, this bonus episode is a very important reminder: sometimes you don’t need to justify what brings you joy.

Best Life Pending with Steph De Sousa & Chrissy Hearn a podcast for women over 40 who are done pretending they have it all figured out. We're here for the career pivots, the messy divorces, the friendships that end without warning, and the hot flushes nobody prepared us for. No filters, no fake positivity, no pretending aging is a graceful glide into irrelevance.  Every week, we take the conversations women usually only have after two glasses of wine and put them on the record: funny, honest, occasionally uncomfortable, always real. We're not here to fix you. You're not broken. We're here to remind you that reinvention doesn't have an age limit, and neither does laughing at yourself.
