pickle ball

Kat and Val are chatting up all things aging.  How do we bring play into our lives as older adults with full lives? How do we make the choice to grow and expand into our latter years vs. retract and see our lives grow small? How to get better and better at “giving no fucks”? All this and more friends! Enjoy!

This season Kat and Val plan to record longer episodes about once a month as they practice centering their needs while producing this labor of love. If you’d like to support the show please “buy us a cup of coffee” and help offset costs!

You can’t miss them, HOKAs — those clunky athletic shoes with the thick foamy sole — are everywhere. But why? Abdul reflects on the broader juxtaposition between fitness and health. Then he sits down with Dr. Jordan Metzl, a sports medicine physician and founder of “Iron Strength,” a New York City-based fitness community, to talk about fitness, why we carry so much baggage about it, and … those HOKA shoes.

Today, this is what's important:

Outfits ideas, the history of hacky sack, buying stuff off Instagram ads, pickleball, the live show, old movies, Nascar, and more.

Why hello super cool humans! We are Kat and Val and we heartily welcome you to our podcast. Each week we will focus on a specific topic and dive into our 3 favorite questions. 

1. What is bringing you pleasure?
2. What are you learning?
3. What is moving around for you?

We are lovingly referring to this episode as our origin episode. You'll hear each of us share a lot more about who were are and how we got here. Super relatable shit like how we met in Bible College, were both Pastors in a conservative evangelical pentecostal denomination, and how we each deconstructed from that worldview.

We learn about Val's passion for therapy, cracking the perfect joke while playing pickleball, and her long term marriage to a talented, hilarious,  brazilian businessman named Rafick. Val (she/her) is deeply wise, warm and candid as she shares about their journey to make peace with childlessness.

We also learn about Kat's choice to end a long term marriage to the father of her two kids, then discovering she is in fact, gay as hell. Kat (she/they) credits a tremendous amount of personal transformation to the body liberation movement and her work as a fat artist.

• Reminiscing about bible college and evangelical culture (4:10)
• Exploring our evolutions, throughout of 26 year friendship (6:53)
• Val shares about her life and who she is today (8:37)
• Kat shares about her life and who they are today (13:17)
• Closing thoughts on pleasure, growth, evolutions, and gratitudes (27:00)
