(#29) - "Be a Rad Woman, Not Just a Rad Mom: Friendship, Lexapro & Midlife Plot Twists" - with Kelly Huber

from Now What · host Melissa Murphy

Hoops & Glossers… if you're feeling meh, moody, or just mildly ragey, this episode is the warm hug (and possibly the estrogen patch) you didn't know you needed. Meet Kelly Brooks Huber: mom of four (two human, two furry), businesswoman, college roommate, and—fun fact—bikini wax spirit guide. We go way back, and this convo? It's real, ridiculous, and ridiculously relatable. We cover: That time both of us broke up with Lexapro (and how we knew it was time) Why the estrogen patch might deserve its own holiday Parenting adult daughters (and teenage ones who suddenly don't like you anymore 🙃) Midlife pivots after 25+ years in the same career The magic of radical female friendship—especially the ones that know your college GPA and your current HRT dosage 💥 Midlife Question of the Week: "How do I know when it's time to stop doing what I've always done—and trust there's something better ahead?" This one's for the women who are showing up, even if they have no idea what they're doing (spoiler alert: same). So grab your half-caff, text your bestie, and hit play—because life doesn't come with a manual, but it's a lot easier with a hype squad. 👊 If this episode made you laugh, cry, or reconsider your current meds, send it to your favorite rad woman and leave a review!
