Midwest Moves, Midlife Thoughts, & Celebrity Chess

from Going Off Course · host Michelle Knafla and Carolyn Carter

This week we recorded separately because life was doing the absolute most, so you are getting two very different but equally unhinged halves of the episode.Michelle checks in from St. Louis with moving updates, Midwest confusion, pecan coffee regret, and some very real thoughts about feeling lost in your 30s. She talks running hills that should not exist, yoga realizations after 15 years of doing it wrong, sprinting through airports with a dog, and the emotional rollercoaster of starting over in a new city. There are reflections on friendships, routines, happiness, and why sometimes you actually have to leave the couch to feel better.Carolyn brings us a completely different vibe with weekend recaps that include a golf tournament, a celebrity chess event, a spider encounter, and a brutal cycling adventure known as the Circle of Doom. Lessons are learned, preparation is questioned, and survival is celebrated.Two lives, two paths, one episode full of movement, chaos, and figuring things out as we go.
