Bruna tried very hard to be zen about being stuck in Hawaii even though it took 55 hours and two cancelled flights to get home. Cath walked out of a Pilates class halfway through, in front of everyone, in a t-shirt that looked like she’d dressed out of a bin. Ginni swapped the hardest day of an Italian hike for a ferry packed with 500,000 of her closest friends, and we all learned what a crampon is. (Not a hiking tampon.)

Plus, the Substack that told Gen X women they were sold a myth. And a listener whose daughter came home to find her bed replaced with a Pilates reformer.

In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Bruna Papandrea and Cath Mahoney.
