Ep. 24 - You Can't Have Love Without Grief and Other Dualities with Stacy London (Part 2) Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

When Wendy sat down with Stacy London last week, the two couldn't stop talking. So Wendy decided to make another Cropped(ish) episode with America's Favorite Former CEO. From staying true to yourself, finding forgiveness, tapping into empathy, facing mortality, and telling your people that you love them…listen up as Wendy and Stacy cover it all.

Ep. 23 - Fail Learn Pivot with Stacy London Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

Introducing Cropped(ish): Each month, Wendy will be having a quick chat with a woman of interest who's charting her own way in the world. This month — and in 12 minutes — Wendy chops it up with Stacy London, learns about her tenure as America's Favorite CEO, why she bounced on that gig (damn! Is she candid! How refreshing) and what she's doing now. Then, Stacy is the first to participate in our new 5 in 5 segment: Five questions in five minutes. You know you want to hear what Stacy has to say, so do tune in.

Ep. 22 - To Be.Real or to be real. Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Be.Real is the latest trend young people are obsessing over. Some of us Olds are using it, too (which should serve as the death knell to the app that purports to challenge the theater that are Instagram and Facebook). But what isn't theater is how real we are in our day-to-day lives. In today's installment, Wendy offers her thoughts on authenticity, why it matters and how important it is to be true to ourselves. So snap that Be.Real when you get your notification and then snap to this week's episode.

Ep. 21 - Don't look like Captain Hook Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

You might think this episode is about a geyser, but oh, it is not. Wendy's dipping into the style section today and focusing on a fundamental must-have: The white button-down shirt. Every woman needs one (or several) in her closet but choosing which style can cause overwhelm and decision fatigue for some of us. Grab a cup of coffee or matcha or tea, check in to find out one of Wendy's favorite labels in the white shirt department and learn how to avoid looking like a pirate.

Ep. 20 - Lifeboat Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

Thanks to social media, we stay connected to many people all at once. Everyone can be a friend. But…who's the person you call when you're really down and out? When you have something uber personal to share? When you need advice or just an ear? Today, Wendy's talking lifeboats and who, in our social groups, make the final cut. Hint: It's not all our friends on Facebook.

Ep. 19 - I Can't Drive 55 Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to Season 3! It's pedal-to-the metal over here in the Cropped Universe as Wendy turns 55 today. Woot-woot! To celebrate this non-milestone milestone, our host turns the tables on herself as she enjoys a chat with her producer and sound guy (that's his official title). Jump back in for a little background on your favorite anti-anti-aging spokesperson and hear her answer some questions as an introduction to this season's new 5-in-5 segment. At 17 minutes, this episode is longer than uszh, but it still fits in your sling bag next to your phone and lip balm. It's…Cropped-ish. Tune in, won't you?

Ep. 18 - Space Exploration Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Sometimes we all need a little space — from our kids, from our partner, from a friend — but who hasn't been just a little hurt when someone has said they need some space? Giving and asking for space can be a good thing. So give yourself some space to hear what Wendy's thinking about alone time and infinite possibility.

Ep. 17 - Fashion regression progression Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

They say art imitates life... sometimes so accurately, it's as if the artist has moved into your home and taken notes. Inspired by an SNL skit, Wendy has some thoughts on how those of us living our best lives in underwear with a stretched out elastic band and a hole in the side seam have got to do better!

Ep. 16 - What should the title of this episode be? We can't decide… Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

Do you have a hard time making decisions or are you one of the lucky few for whom decisiveness is built into your genetics? Can't decide? Then this five minutes is for you. Wendy wants to shake some sense into those of us struggling with "decision fatigue." Like, how hard can it be to pick out a bath mat?

Ep. 15 - Being happy for the winner makes us all winners May 24, 2022

Show notes

Parents—very often moms—put thousands of miles on our tires shuttling our kids from practices to matches to tournaments, oh my! But there can be unexpected payoffs for the road-weary and lessons we can heed from Wendy's recent trip to state lacrosse finals. She brags on her kid here, but only to make a larger point. C'mon…put in your earbuds and hit play.
