Episode 18: Red, White & Repeating Ourselves

from Fearless & Forty · host Susan Norgren

Episode 18: "Red, White, and Repeating Ourselves" Happy 4th of July! In this festive-yet-thoughtful episode, we kick things off by chatting about our favorite Independence Day traditions — from fireworks to family barbecues. Then we test our U.S. history knowledge with a fun pop quiz.  But we don’t stop at sparklers and trivia. We take a deeper dive into what we’re calling the “Groundhog Day Syndrome” — that feeling of being stuck in a monotonous routine where every day feels the same. It’s a real struggle, especially in your 40s. We open up about our own experiences with the mundane and explore practical, uplifting ways to break free from the loop and add some sparkle (pun intended) back into daily life. Whether you're lighting up the grill or just looking for ways to light up your week, this episode brings celebration and soul in equal measure. 🎧 Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe even learn something new. #fearlessand40 #midlife #4thofjuly #groundhounddaysyndrome #glimmers  For Reference: Donna Ashworth  The Wedding People We are Liars Ginny & Georgia
