This episode is all about the attributes we seek in people—and how those evolve as we do. From six-pack abs to strong coffee game, Angie & Shelly reflect on how friendship, partnership, and human connection shift with age, experience, and (let’s be honest) lower back pain.

💡 What Matters Most—Now vs. Then – How our friendship and relationship checklists have changed since our twenties.

👀 Compliment Culture – The power of non-physical compliments and why being told “your energy lights up a room” hits different.

💬 The Value of Depth – Why we’re not impressed by status anymore, and what we actually look for in new friendships and old flames.

☕ Coffee, Kindness & Capacity – How things like being present, showing up, and bringing coffee rank higher than looks or likes.

🌱 Planting Seeds of Belonging – From encouraging grandkids to showing up for friends, we talk about the lasting impact of authentic praise and connection.

👯 It’s About Energy Now – Can we sit in silence? Can we belly laugh? Can we Uber Eats and chill? That’s the vibe.
