In the end, they talk about “modeling the solution”. “I’m proud of me and I’m proud that he gets to watch me do this.” The ladies share their top three tools in their Unruffled Toolbox for the week: Sondra’s 3 fave things: (1) Horseback riding with her family; (2) The Unruffled Podcast secret FB group’s new virtual book club featuring Claire Dederer’s book Love and Trouble, A Midlife Reckoning as our first selection; and (3) Thrift Therapy which garnered an Hermès scarf for a buck!
