Have you ever smelled cigarette smoke when no one is lighting up or experienced other weird menopause symptoms? Do you wonder why your favorite 70-year-old socialite looks exactly like a 40-year-old? In this "Post-Ice Edition" of the Life Coach BFF Show, Heather Pettey and Dr. Carol Lynn are back to catch you up on everything you missed while hunkered down in the winter storms.

From the strange "phantom smells" of menopause to the strict fashion rules of Palm Beach high society, this episode is a whirlwind of laughter, medical insights, and midlife realizations. Whether you're navigating a "choke and poke" (the medical term will surprise you!), setting boundaries, or realizing that menopause actually happens to everyone, this episode is the ultimate catch-up with your best friends.
