We get into the nostalgia of indulgences that still hit, including Brooke’s road-trip-only Twizzlers and Cheez-Its (firm boundaries) and Robyn’s fast-food pilgrimages reserved for special occasions, like the McDonald's drive-thru visit after her annual trip to the cardiologist.

We also get excited to resurrect our Friday night Zoom cocktail hour with our husbands—it’s a low-effort, high payoff pandemic era hold over, and a great starting point for planning a fun couples’ trip.

Plus, fitness check-ins: Brooke is banging it out on the Peloton, Robyn is at the gym, and we talk about the not-so-fun reality that if we want to feel good and keep doing the things we love in the back nine, it’s going to take more than 10,000 steps.

Brooke and Robyn kick things off by comparing notes on getting their Shingles vaccines (spoiler: it’s not just for grandparents!)

Then, Robyn shares her initial thoughts on her new Oura ring—what she’s learning about her sleep, recovery, and stress levels.

Finally, the duo looks ahead to their upcoming trip to Canyon Ranch. Brooke is hoping to (finally!) learn how to meditate, while Robyn is looking forward to putting everyone else on pause and focusing on herself for a few days.

It’s a candid, cozy, and very real chat about aging, health tech, and giving yourself permission to reset.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why they both decided to get the Shingles vaccine

• Robyn’s early take on the Oura ring—likes, surprises, and sleep revelations

• The pressure (and promise) of learning to meditate

• Making space for self-care, even when it feels indulgent

Resources & Mentions:

• CDC Guidelines on Shingles Vaccine

• Oura Ring

• Canyon Ranch Wellness Retreats
