EP 61 Getting real about (not having) sex
22/10/2018 Duration: 34minThis week, Sheri and Nancy spill their secrets with some real talk about one of the most muddled and mysterious parts of being single in the middle of life (or, let’s face it, in any stage of life, married or single): Sex. When will they have it, how are they going to find the men to have it with, and, the big kahuna question, do they even want it anymore? While Nancy is in the midst of her Match.com adventures, she admits to a lack of interest in the “talent” she’s finding online. Sheri thinks the answer is hormone therapy! She jumps in to find the best expert on hormones to help them ramp up their libidos. Together Sher and Nance talk candidly about sex, and the lack thereof, and issue a call out to the DreamTribe for insights and guidance (or at least some juicy stories). Takeaways: Happy birthday! Sheri is 59 and feelin’ fine. Both Sher and Nance urge us all to own our age and let however many times you have been around the sun serve as an inspiration to stir up the Dream Pot.

EP 60 Kute Blackson: What are you pretending not to know?
16/10/2018 Duration: 01h03minAre you living like a mouse when you should be living like a lion? That puzzle had Sheri + Nancy hooked from the very first page of the best seller You are the One, by the oh-so-enchanting Kute Blackson. You’re the one you’ve been looking for the whole time, according to Kute, and it’s so easy to believe him: his energy, his effervescence, his accent. Sher and Nance were swept away. In this episode, Kute illuminates the power that exists when we really feel our truth, trust our intuition and embrace the unknown. He shares some amazing moments from his journeys to India and Bali, where he guides fellow seekers through the experience of coming to terms with the persona they have created versus who they really are (mouse versus lion). He invites us to explore the beauty of loving without expectation and the surrender to our soul’s true calling. Takeaways: ● Shift the question from “what do I want” to “what is seeking to unfold” and feel the mystical quality when you allow openness. ● You can’t get out of a rut

EP 59 Create Your Personal Culture
09/10/2018 Duration: 43minApril Gargiulo, the visionary behind an active botanical serum that has achieved cult-like status, has made it her life’s mission to manifest a culture of quality. April hails from a family of Napa Valley winemakers, a legacy that led her to apply a vision of purity and intention to creating quality skincare. Her product, Vintner's Daughter, is a Hollywood insider favorite, and one that both Sheri and Nancy say is a game changer in their own beauty routines (they featured it in an episode of BETTER). April shares the dream behind the creation, how she fosters a personal culture of happiness, and ways to add a little drop of entrepreneurial spirit into your everyday life. Takeaways: ● April Gargiulo, creator of Vintner’s Daughter, wanted to create the highest possible quality and performance-focused skincare product for both men and women.

EP 58 Sex-clusivity
02/10/2018 Duration: 54minThe DreamTribe’s Romance + Sex pillar coach Bela Gandhi is back to help to coach Nancy on the next steps on her dating journey. She shares the red flags to lookout for, ways to rejection-proof our mindset, and why we may want to date a person who likes us a little more than we like them. Nancy adds an exciting new strategy to the mix, and then Sheri and Nancy announce some upcoming Pillar News, including a live podcast in Palm Springs! Takeaways: “Love yourself first, and love yourself best.” That quote from Gary Vee really resonates. More than 75% of Bela’s clients at the Smart Dating Academy are in their 50s. Bask in these numbers single mid-lifers... out of 107 million single adults in this country, 35 million are over 50. Those are some good potential love stats. Nancy goes into dating more self-assured and confident now than she did in her 20s. She is enjoying the slower process of getting to know a fella and observing the way he makes her feel. People need to earn your life story and they certainly don’

04/09/2018 Duration: 54minA sure-fire way to reignite your dreams and change your life is to follow your intuition and trust your guiding spirit. Let’s all learn from Sonia Choquette, widely regarded intuitive, best-selling author, and beloved spiritual teacher, who trusts her inner voice so much she follows it everywhere — including packing up her life and moving to the City of Light. She didn’t know a soul or have a job in Paris; she simply decided she would move through her new life with inspiration-fueled confidence. Wow. We love that. Whether it’s a slow simmering of feeling misaligned or a crash-and-burn that takes what seems like everything away, Sonia says you can always reinvent and repurpose. She gives some practical tips on how to empty the garbage of your fears and let your heart and spirit speak out loud. Sonia’s new book, Waking Up in Paris invites the reader to bare all and move away from attachments and obligations that no longer serve us.

EP 53 Evolve Your Life: Kathryn Budig
28/08/2018 Duration: 48minInternationally celebrated yoga teacher, writer, and podcaster, Kathryn Budig is constantly creating and reinventing the business of her dreams. She talks with Sheri and Nancy about her message to herself and others to “aim true,” how to turn overwhelm into passion and openness, her love of a great quinoa bowl, and why we shouldn’t be afraid to swerve out of our lane (but not because we are texting) and into our dreams. She’s the cover girl of this month’s Yoga Journal, the co-host of the popular podcast alongside her love Kate Fagan, and all around free cookie. Takeaways [6:08] Sheri’s recent coffee shop visit leads to a Public Service Announcement. When out in public, keep your humming, singing and Whitney Houston inspired song-belting to a thoughtful and respectful volume. Save your version of “The Greatest Love of All” for karaoke night.
