Episodes
Season 2 is here — and things look a little different inside the She Shed.
Donna is back, but this time there’s a new voice beside her: Nicole, a friend whose life has been strangely intertwined with Donna’s for more than 25 years. They met as young women building houses next door to each other, became mothers at the same time, went into business together, survived bankruptcy, marriages, divorces, h...
What started as a conversation over coffee turned into something neither of us could have imagined.

In this episode, Donna and Meg talk about what it means to create a life that feels peaceful, joyful, and fully your own after divorce, heartbreak, motherhood, people-pleasing, and starting over.
From guilt-free freedom and protec...
Over the last year, Donna lost more than she ever imagined — a relationship, her sister, her cat, her sweet dog Nelly, and parts of herself along the way.
But somewhere inside the grief, heartbreak, and rebuilding, something unexpected happened.
She started finding herself again.
In this deeply personal episode, Donna and Meg talk about what women gain after loss: clarity, boundaries, independence, peace, communi...
EPISODE 16 — I Took My Space Back
After heartbreak, loss, and major life shifts, Donna and Meg talk about the surprising power of reclaiming your space, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

But this ...
In this episode of She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Meg are joined by longtime friend Nicole for a conversation that will challenge the way you think about healing.
Years ago, Nicole said something to Donna that never left her:
“If you keep telling your story, you’ll never heal.”
At the time, it didn’t make sense. Now, it’s become a guiding truth.
Together, they unpack what it really means to...
In this episode of She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Meg skip the experts and get real about what it actually feels like when your body, brain, and hormones decide to do their own thing. From hot flashes and brain fog to weight gain, mood shifts, and sleep struggles, nothing is off limits.
But this conversation doesn’t stop there.
Because somehow… at the exact same time their hormones are going haywire, both...
You don’t just lose a job.
You lose the version of yourself you built around it.
For so many of us, our work becomes more than a paycheck.
It becomes identity. Structure. Validation. Purpose.
It’s how we introduce ourselves.
How we measure success.
How we understand our place in the world.
So when it’s suddenly gone… the question isn’t just “what’s next?”
It&rsquo...

No high-interest loans.
Just a real, atta...

Donna is in the middle of a fight for her home—a home she built, paid for, and created for her kids long before her relationship began. And what she’s learning? It’s not as simple as it should be.
In this episode, Donna and Meg sit down with financial planners and divorce specialists Cindy Viner and Shauna Selig to talk about what really happens when relationships end—and ...
We’ve all said it:
“I saw the red flags…”
So why did we stay?
In this episode, Donna and Meg sit down with women across different age groups for a rapid-fire, no-filter game of Red Flag or Green Flag.
Some answers are instant.
Some get debated.

Because what we once called “chemistry”…
might have actua...
Men don’t talk about this enough, so we asked.
In this episode of She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Meg invite two men into the Shed for an honest conversation about what actually changes after a long-term relationship or marriage ends.

Toge...
Why do some relationships feel intense, confusing, and emotionally exhausting, even when nothing is technically “wrong”?
In this episode of She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Meg are joined by their friend Dr. Jim Gouthro, who holds a doctorate in Social Work, for a thoughtful conversation about the relationship patterns many people struggle to make sense of.

I didn’t plan to record this.
But the house felt a little quieter… and I didn’t want to sit in that alone.
This week, Donna shares a She Shed Reflection after saying goodbye to her dog, Nelly — her constant through some of the biggest changes in her life.

It’s about the quiet kin...

Why do women stop wanting sex — even when they still love their partner?
And why does desire disappear long before the relationship actually ends?
In this episode of She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Meg sit down with Serena Haines, Certified Sex Coach (SXI) and Intimacy & Relationship Coach, for one of their most honest conversations yet.
This one goes deeper than libido.
It&rsquo...
We were going to release Episode 6 this week.
Instead, this felt more honest.
In this special She Shed Reflection, Donna sits alone in the Shed and talks about something many women experience but rarely name out loud, what it feels like to come home to a quiet house.
The silence.
The space.
The relief.
The grief.
The strength.
The clarity.
What’s the difference between ...

Dating didn’t just change — it was rebuilt.

This isn’t about judging the youn...
What we want changes, usually because we do.
