Episode 7: Ugly Sweaters, Kitchen Fires, and Breaking Up with Pinterest

Midlife Sh*t Show : Real talk about real sh*t.

Ah, the holidays. Over the river and through the woods into exhaustion and anxiety we go! Whether you’re a November Firster - that tree is up 10 minutes after the last trick-or-treater leaves your doorstep - Or a Turkey Denier - wait, Thanksgiving is THIS week??? The holidays can be, um… complicated.

For our special Holiday pre-game episode, we’ve tapped into the font of awesome that is Gretchen Bertrand. Queen of Badassery, Gretchen ditched the corporate grind after working for some of the biggest names in the retail space to become an entrepreneur. A visionary with a penchant for pjs, she was ahead of the game creating a luxury loungewear line for the home-based work force years before the plague forced us all into endless (and pantless) Zoom meetings.

Lounge Beauties is so much more than a store though. It is its own ethos… Live. Laugh. Lounge. And whose holiday game couldn’t use more of that and less Pintrafaction?!

In order to help you stop, slow down, and enjoy the season we’ve put together a couple of surprises for you too. Check out our collection of Plant-Based Thanksgiving YUM. Created in conjunction with Functional Nutritionists, these 12 tasty treats not only taste good they make your FEEL good. And while you’re feeling all awesome and stuff, go shop Lounge Beauties with our 20% discount code SHITSHOW. Because you shouldn’t just work your a$$ off to make the holidays awesome for everyone without treating yourself (right) too!

A huge THANK YOU to Gretchen for joining us and for the discount too. Friends from the 3rd grade ROCK.
