🎙️ Episode Highlights

• 👶 The Freedom of Childhood
  Running through the woods and staying out until the Mom whistled—Tristan and Heather recall the simplicity (and chaos) of growing up in a small town with no social media and unlimited outdoor adventures.
• 🎭 Young Adulthood & The Big Leap
  From first apartments and career sacrifices to late-night doubts and big dreams, Heather and Tristan open up about what it felt like to leave home and chase their creative ambitions in LA.
• 🤯 Midlife Reality Check
  Life in your 40's and 50's hits different. As parents and professionals, they explore that "now what?" moment so many Gen Xers face. What does it mean to shift from chasing your dreams to redefining them?
