Best Life Pending with Steph De Sousa & Chrissy Hearn
Best Life Pending is a podcast for women over 40 who are done pretending they have it all figured out. We're here for the career pivots, the messy divorces, the friendships that end without warning, and the hot flushes nobody prepared us for. No filters, no fake positivity, no pretending aging is a graceful glide into irrelevance. Every week, we take the conversations women usually only have after two glasses of wine and put them on the record: funny, honest, occasionally uncomfortable, always real. We're not here to fix you. You're not broken. We're here to remind you that reinvention doesn't have an age limit, and neither does laughing at yourself.

Chrissy has a new obsession… blind boxes, Sunny Angels, Hironos and basically anything tiny, cute and completely unnecessary.
So naturally, she decides Steph needs one too.
Will Steph finally understand the joy of opening a mystery box and become just as obsessed? Absolutely not. But Chrissy isn’t giving up that easily.
From being mistaken for someone buying toys for her grandkids to spending money on things that simpl...
