9: I Hurt Myself Sleeping… and Other Midlife Realities

This week, the Recovering Nice Girls Club is finally IRL (in real life), and things get real, hilarious, and just a little unhinged (in the best way).We’re talking:The very real struggle of transitioning from wool socks to flip flops (and whether your toenails are emotionally ready)A Hawaii vacation that was… basically a week-long rainstormThe moment you realize you’ve officially entered the “I injured myself sleeping” phase of lifeAnd why putting on a belt suddenly feels like an Olympic eventBut this episode also has heart.After loss, there’s a new beginning—Angela introduces her newly adopted greyhound, Olivia (yes, she’s a world traveler from Australia and yes, she’s basically a velvet couch potato 🖤). We get into the surprising realities of retired racing dogs, second chances, and what it actually takes to learn how to “just be a dog.”And because this is who we are… we somehow also cover:Feeding tortillas to wild animals (apparently a universal hit)Why women are conditioned to be “nice girls” in the first placeAnd whether hormones might secretly be the key to feeling like a puppy again 👀It’s equal parts laughter, honesty, and “did we really just say that out loud?”If you’ve ever:Tried to hold it together while life throws you curveballsFelt like your body didn’t get the memo that you’re still 25Or wondered if being “nice” is actually holding you back…this episode is for you.Grab a drink, settle in, and come hang out with us 💛
