When Happy Hour Turns Sad Everything Hurts podcast

21:31

Was Avril Lavigne right - is life just too complicated? In Episode 20, Danielle and Cheryl realize that in their 30s, they were just training to be an adult. Now, it’s go time. At this age, we have mortgages, kids, aging parents, career changes, ever-changing bodies, and the constant challenge of making everyone happy. A wise friend once explained that it’s because we’re trying to make everyone happy no one ends up being happy, while another mentioned that everyone wants change but no one’s actually implementing it. So here Danielle and Cheryl are, craving the simplicity of what they learned back in the day – getting out of quicksand (a skill they thought would play a bigger role in their adult lives than it actually has), playing the recorder, and square dance do-si-do-ing. They also touch upon modern complications like email hacking, 15-character passwords, two-step authentications, and how no one actually mails mail anymore. We want to hear from you!

Mementos or mess – spring cleaning our childhood 19:59

Spring cleaning has Cheryl and Danielle harkening back to the days of Atari, Mousetrap, even…gasp…rabbit foot keychains, as they get sentimental during Episode 19 of Everything Hurts. Cleaning out the garage or basement can dig up a bunch of emotions, especially when it involves sifting through boxes of childhood items. What gets kept and what gets trashed? The two revisit toys from the ‘80s that stood the test of time, as well as Gen X items that don’t fly anymore (hello, lawn darts, we’re looking squarely at you). Then, when Cheryl discovers some of her essays from college journalism classes, they wonder – how much AI do kids have in their portfolios these days. Also does anyone actually print out photographs and put them in albums anymore? Because they should. We want to hear from you!

In the U.S., nearly all adults (clocking in at about 98%) own a cell phone. That’s roughly 331 million people. The vast majority, about 91%, of those cell phone owners have a smartphone. In Episode 18, Danielle and Cheryl explore their love/hate with their phones. Yes, they’re obviously helpful but do we really need to be able to text, track, talk, and Google at any given second. Newsflash: we lived without them for centuries. They also talk about how a surprising study actually found that kids with cell phones are happy and more social. Who knew? We want to hear from you!

Gym self-care: Cold plunges and hot saunas 19:29

In this Episode 17, Cheryl and Danielle discuss how their tolerance and patience have changed as they age, and one place the difference is very evident is at gym. Is no place sacred? When they aren’t yelling at people to shut up in the sauna, they’re giving the side eye to those who don’t wipe down their machines after use. However, the meat of this episode is actually spent discussing how to stay cool at the gym – in a cold plunge, that is. Cold water therapy stretches back as far as 3500 BC, when it was noted in the ancient Egyptian medical text The Edwin Smith Papyrus as restorative for the body. They discuss research about how these dips are specifically great for middle aged women dealing with inflammation and soreness. Add in time in the hot dry sauna, and you’ve got a great routine of self-care that goes beyond pumping iron and cardio (although those are important, too). We want to hear from you!

Between Dr. Google, the internet as a whole, and tracking apps like Life360, we have access to too much info. Full stop. To begin Episode 16, Danielle drops one bit of info that we all should know – she recently took a job as the co-host of a new morning show on WZLX FM radio in Boston. Then she and Cheryl chat about how, overall, it’s exhausting how we have fingertip-access to so…much…information these days. Basically, they ask - is it healthy to be “smart” or is ignorance bliss? They discuss cognitive overload (it’s a thing) and what steps you can take to avoid it, as well as how to back away from all that excess info to decompress, from digital detox to meditation. Dare we say, should we turn a “know it all” into a “no” to it all? We want to hear from you!

In Episode 15, Cheryl and Danielle raise a glass to how our middle-aged bodies handle alcohol. Spoiler alert – not well (Episode 1 started the conversation of When Happy Hour Turns Sad). Chiming in with plenty of knowledge is their guest, Katelin Cashman, PA-C, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, certified functional nutrition informed professional, and founder of Plaistow, N.H.-based Journey Health . The three ladies talk about what’s physically different about our bodies at this age that might be affected by drinking, and Katelin offers tips on how to overcome those issues. She also teaches us about metabolism and how our bodies react differently to booze these days in terms of its exacerbating menopause symptoms, our gaining weight, and handling hangovers. Cheers to an episode that moves the needle on enjoying the occasional drink.

In Episode 14, Danielle and Cheryl once again bring Kennedy Elsey, from Mix 104.1’s Karson & Kennedy AM show to share her diagnosis and subsequent ass kicking of breast cancer. They talk about how she worked with her caregivers through surgery and radiation, as well as a surprising (and documented) sadness you feel when you leave your fellow warriors she saw every day in the hospital. The trio also talks about osteoporosis and Dexa scans, colonoscopies, breast MRIs for dense breasts, and all the screenings that women in middle age need to be up-to-date on (and push for, if they feel they need). About Kennedy Elsey: As the girl half of Karson & Kennedy, you can hear Kennedy every weekday morning from 5:30-10am on Mix 104.1. She grew up in suburban Chicago and graduated from Drake University with a double major in Theater and Psychology. Her career brought her to Boston, by way of Tucson, AZ; Tallahassee, FL; and Memphis, TN. She lives with mental illness, including bipolar disorder, and uses her time behind a microphone to fight fiercely to stop the stigma that goes hand in hand with mental illness.

Music as a Life’s Soundtrack (and the ‘80s were the best) 24:23

24:23

Music is an integral part of most of our lives, as you can tell by the fact that you don’t care who sees you dancing when the grocery store jams hit hard. To hit all the right notes on this topic, Danielle and Cheryl sit down with guest Kennedy Elsey (of Boston's Mix 104.1 Karson & Kennedy morning show fame). When the three women were younger, reading liner notes to new records was an hours-long activity, as was waiting patiently for the DJ to stop talking so they could tape record their favorite songs. And who didn’t love all those happy yet completely nonsensical lyrics of the ‘80s? But the decade wasn’t all fun and games. Some unfortunate souls lived under the constant threat of Columbia House Records – this “one penny for 13 cassettes” promise often translated to a terrifying life time commitment that might go down on your permanent record. Danielle, Cheryl and Kennedy bring back memories of Sony Sport Walkman, Discman, and 10-CD Changers, and then finish up by sailing away with yacht rock. About Kennedy Elsey: As the girl half of Karson & Kennedy, you can hear Kennedy every weekday morning from 5:30-10am on Mix 104.1.

Tossing out the Golden Rule 21:18

8 weeks тому21:18

21:18

Cheryl and Danielle begin Episode 12 by discussing what some people choose to share on social media. Coming from a time where kids were trucks without governors and there wasn’t a threat of actions being blasted into the ether, it’s amazing what people will post these days. Parents will post kids throwing up; teens will post themselves doing stupid stuff. Is nothing sacred? Which brings the two ladies to life’s biggest lesson – by letting go of the Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you) sometimes you enjoy your relationships more. When you stop expecting someone to act as you would, it gives you more space to allow them to be them, and you to be you. Cheryl and Danielle transition into being late (a common trait) and how it’s more common these days because…it’s seasonal clothing transition time. We have to try on clothes before we meet up with friends, as winter is transitioning into spring and outfits are coming out of hibernation (translation: nothing fits). The ladies also ask, who the hell can wear five-inch heels anymore? Not them. We want to hear from you!

In Episode 11, Danielle and Cheryl dive into the days of old school movies (Bueller…Bueller) and TV, as they reminisce about the ones they loved in their childhood (think Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Silver Spoons, Mash, Different Strokes, Cheers ). And of course, there are shows they loved that wouldn’t exactly play today (looking squarely at you, Archie Bunker). But who doesn’t love a VHS tape (be kind, rewind)? After all, that’s how we got our exercise back in the day - thanks to ‘80s ladies like Kathy Smith and Tamilee Webb. While they look back on those times fondly, these days Danielle and Cheryl are keen on hanging up their purple thong leotards and leg warmers in favor of a walking pad, weighted vest, and Netflix binge.

In this episode of Everything Hurts, Danielle and Cheryl break down what friendships are and how they seem to change as we age. When we’re younger, our friends are our entire world. Then we move to college and things become a bit more spaced, but you’re still thrown together into classes, dorms, etc. In our 20s, people scatter and friendships ebb and flow. Once you get into your 30s, that’s when you start to take a look at your friends and think “is this connection worth it?” In your 40s and 50s, it’s all about finding your people – the ones who match your energy and who give as much as they receive. But let’s not discount the friendships that are exactly what they are – transactional. Need to go shopping? Call [insert name here]. Want to vent? [Insert name here] is your go-to gal. Danielle and Cheryl also discuss research that gives it to us straight – it takes more than 200 hours to create a true friendship. We want to hear from you!

Women don’t talk about perimenopause. And, sadly, their doctors don’t either (research states it’s due to lack of preparedness). So, in this episode, Danielle and Cheryl do just that. They commiserate about dry skin and frizzy hair, insomnia and lack of sex drive, heart palpitations and hot flashes. Pick your poison. They offer advice to their younger listeners on how to prepare for perimenopause, what to expect, and they talk a little about the frustration this age group experiences when dismissed as they speak up about symptoms occurring (“Oh, you’re just getting older”). Danielle gets candid about her fibroid cyst surgery, which led to her hysterectomy, and Cheryl admits actually mourning the end of her menstrual cycle as the end of a very long life chapter. The takeaway: open a line of communication about reproductive health and what’s coming around the corner is important. We want to hear from you!

Consider this episode of Everything Hurts a palate cleanser, as Cheryl and Danielle ask you to throw it back (but not too hard - you’ll throw out your back) with a bit of nostalgia. They start the show by returning to early Gen X days of drinking from hoses, walking uphill both ways to school, and sitting on plastic couches at your grandma’s house (that noise when you peeled your thighs off on a summer day). They add into the mix the “finer” things in life, taking you down Memory Lane with visions of pegged jeans, KangaROOS sneakers, feathered hair (and the painstaking techniques Cheryl took to get it), Love’s Baby Soft, Bonnie Belle lips, Caboodles, and more, as Danielle closes it out with her not-so gentle nod to a Drakkar-wearing man.

With snow on the ground and Cheryl’s 79-year-old dad reaching for the shovel, Episode 7 takes her and Danielle’s conversation to a frustrating place – what to do when your elderly parents want to do too much. They discuss moving into caretaker roles and how parents can become difficult as they view these new limitations as attacks on their autonomy. They become who we once were – kids that won’t listen. Cheryl and Danielle address the “40-70 rule” as a timeframe for talking to your parents about how to care for themselves so they remain healthy and safe, as well as what their wishes are should they fall ill. They also address utilizing your town’s Council on Aging, to assist in the process. The ladies close out the show by laughing about another role reversal that’s inevitable – we will become our parents. So take notes on what your folks are doing, so you don’t do the same to your kids (which, let’s face it…you will anyway). We want to hear from you!

In this episode of Everything Hurts, Cheryl and Danielle turn mid-life crises into mid-life opportunities. Gone are the days when the middle of your life meant making bad decisions that threw off the balance of the universe (hello, $200K sports car.) Instead, you’ve made it this far, why not reward yourself by finally being yourself. Want a tattoo? Get one. Want to pierce something? Do it. Want to travel? Take the trip. Want to have an affair. No…don’t do that. Surveys show women in their 30s look forward to being more confident because they’re less apt to GAF about what others think. Refreshing, isn’t it? They also discuss why society tells us what to wear (newsflash: miniskirts don’t have expiration dates), they ask why moms being “put together” is an anomaly, and how, when we do decide what to wear, the sizing is off because no one can settle on a standard sizing chart for women’s clothing.

Why are we always apologizing? In this episode of Everything Hurts, Danielle and Cheryl ask you to count how many times throughout the day you say, “I’m sorry.” Even when it’s not your fault…They’ll wait…Was it a lot? Unfortunately, it probably was. They discuss research that uncovers how women actually do apologize more than men, as well as how angry men are seen as more influential than angry women. That’s right. Twelve angry men get a cinematic classic; a dozen angry women is “Karen” convention. We also talk about how women are typically dismissed when they question or don’t have something pleasing to say (a huge topic that’ll receive more attention in a future episode).

In this episode, Danielle Murr and Cheryl Fenton wonder why there’s such a strong dichotomy of effort levels to achieve what society considers “hot” for men and women. Everything we have to aspire to requires work, as dad bods and Hollywood’s obsession with “rodent” boys (The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White, Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan and Dune’s Timothée Chalamet, to name a few) are more easily attained than the exhaustive steps needed for a “hot girl summer.” Can’t we be applauded for a Meno Belly Moment?

Part 1: A two-part series why women over 40 drop the ball on holding their liquor. (Hint: it’s not our fault) Cocktails are a thing, right? That is until they’re not. In this episode (Part 1 in a series on alcohol and middle-aged women), Cheryl Fenton and Danielle Murr discuss how, ever since entering a certain age bracket (hello, 40+), drinking alcohol - even an innocent glass of red wine - isn’t the party it used to be. The discussion begins with the holiday season’s booze-centric parties and the resulting 3am racing heart, acid reflux, and insomnia. Should Dry January be a year-long thing? Our bodies seem to think so. WTF did our tolerance go? We admit high school stories of drinking too much and fake IDs, today’s growing mocktail industry, and wind up talking Irish Goodbyes before eventually taking one. Sláinte! Stay tuned for second episode of the two-part series, when Cheryl and Danielle talk to a nutrition expert about why our bodies have become the worst drinking buddies ever, and what alcohol actually does to a peri- and post-menopausal aged woman. To get into the (non-alcoholic) spirit of things, here are two of our favorite mocktail recipes: Wiski Sour 1.5 oz. Wiski 1 oz. of lemon juice 1 oz. maple syrup Optional: orange wedge and Luxardo cherry for garnish Add the Wiski, lemon juice and maple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with orange wedge and cherry. Newgroni 1.5 oz. Bittersweet Aperitivo by Wilderton 1 oz. Verjus rouge .75 oz. simple syrup Pinch salt Optional: orange twist Stir all ingredients in mixing glass over ice for 15 seconds.
