Episode 38: Welcome Back to Us

from Fearless & Forty · host Susan Norgren

After a longer break than we ever planned, we're finally back behind the microphones—and honestly, it feels good. This episode is less about having a perfectly planned topic and more about catching up with each other and with all of you. We talk about why recording became harder this year, how life shifted, and why our friendship never skipped a beat even when the podcast did. From raising teenagers and navigating changing priorities to our shared frustration with DoorDash requests and the never-ending question of "What's for dinner?", we're talking about life exactly as it is right now. Of course, we also dive into what we've been watching, what we've been listening to, and why music continues to be such a huge part of both of our lives. Some things change, and some things stay the same. Most of all, this episode is a reminder that sometimes moving forward looks different than it used to. Slower doesn't mean stopped. Different doesn't mean done. And getting back on the horse doesn't have to look perfect. We're grateful you're here, and we're excited to be back. Welcome back to us.
