<![CDATA[Second Act Sisterhood]]>Second Act Sisterhood is a podcast about two sisters navigating midlife, starting over, and discovering who they are in the process.

Through honest conversations and real stories from our own second acts, we explore the messy, funny, challenging and empowering parts of rebuilding a life from relationships, motherhood and careers to friendships, identity, personal growth and finding your spark again.

We don't have it all figured out. We're learning, growing and evolving right alongside you.

Because starting over doesn't mean you've failed. Sometimes, it's the beginning of becoming the woman you were always meant to be.

Welcome to Second Act Sisterhood where your next chapter might just be your best one yet.

In this episode of Second Act Sisterhood, we talk about identity, dating, relationships, career decisions and what it actually looks like to start choosing yourself.

Trish reflects on discovering who she is outside of being a wife, mum and daughter — and how that's changing the way she approaches dating, connection and her own time.

Christie shares some of the decisions she's making in her own second act, including walking away from study that no longer made sense and asking a much better question: How do I actually want to spend the next three months?

We talk about people pleasing, carrying conversations and relationships, learning to tolerate calm when you're used to emotional highs and lows, and the surprisingly difficult practice of asking:

What do I think? How do I feel? What do I need?

Second Act Sisterhood is two sisters figuring out reinvention in real time — careers, relationships, identity, health, adventure and all the messy bits in between.

If you're somewhere between who you were and whoever the hell you're becoming, you're in the right place.

This week, Trish takes us inside the reality of dating again — from questionable red flags and truly bizarre requests to whether there really are any good men out there.

We talk about the fairy tales we grew up believing, what we actually want from relationships now, learning to enjoy your own company, and the difference between wanting love and being willing to settle for it.

There are laughs, some very questionable dating behaviour, and one request involving child support that left us both asking: is this guy fucking serious?

If you’re dating again, thinking about dating again, happily single, or simply watching the whole thing from the sidelines — come join the conversation.
