Quotes
- “We’re going to talk about what it feels like to be in our mid-fifties, trying to live our best life. We love fashion. We love beauty. We love food. We’re moms… I know this word is obviously overused. We are authentic. Like a hundred percent is what you get.” (10:51 | Jenn Sherman & Pam Sunshine)
- “I needed an outlet for things that made me happy. And one of the things that always made me happy is friendships, socialization, and 38 years of being best friends with someone we met before kids, before husbands, when it was just us. And we just go back to that.” (12:17 | Pam Sunshine)
