20: Girls Trips in Our 40s: What’s Different and What’s Wonderfully the Same

What happens when seven friends who’ve known each other for nearly 30 years head out on a girls trip in their 40s? Well… let’s just say some of my expectations about how things might be different now were hilariously wrong.

In this episode, I reflect on my most recent trip with my college girls—and the ways midlife girls trips are both different and wonderfully the same. 

From Whole Foods-fueled pre-parties to 90s rap singalongs, I share the funny, heartfelt moments that reminded me why these friendships are pure gold.

We get into:

✔️ How our pre-party choices have evolved (thank goodness)

✔️ How we still make dinner out of free appetizers

✔️ The addition of scar tape, sun hats, and readers

✔️ How the nights still end with a dance party

This one’s for everyone who’s ever laughed until they cried with friends who truly get you. Whether you’re planning your next girls trip or just missing your people, you’ll love this one.
