Hot flashes and Bad Choices

by Kelly and Jill

Welcome to hot flashes and bad choices where midlife shows up uninvited kicks off his shoes and pours itself a drink. We are two longtime friends in our 50s both married to incredible women and still fully capable of making questionable decisions just with a better story and slightly earlier bedtimes. between us we live through big love, big loss, wild adventures, complicated families, raising kids, caring for aging parents and figuring out who we are in the middle of all of it. This podcast is equal parts hilarious, honest, and just a little bit unhinged!
