    Ever feel like surviving a day with teenagers deserves its own award? We’ve got stories for you—from picture-perfect senior photos to a Halloween party that went sideways fast (thankfully, our niece had superhero reflexes).

    On the adulting side, we escape to a fancy rooftop bar with skyline views and lobster ravioli, channeling all the boujee vibes. And because life’s never dull, we dig into the bizarre world of black-market turtles, ghost impersonators in cemeteries, and why we seriously need better mental health facilities.

    Plus, we’re previewing Sunday brunch at Miller’s Tavern, where $5 Bloody Mary's might just save the day. Tune in for laughs, life hacks, and plenty of chaos!

  • S3 E10 Prioritizing You: Insights from Julee Balko’s The Me List
    Nov 1 2024

    Dive into finding that balance between your own ambitions and family life with this Halloween episode of No Wine Left Behind. We're excited to have freelance writer and author Julee Balko joining us. Julee’s story is all about the journey from being a busy mom of three to championing self-care. Her latest book, The Me List, was born from her "aha" moment about prioritizing herself—even when life gets chaotic with kids.

    Julee shares how her experiences shape the female characters and complex family dynamics in her work, including a new project with a neurodivergent character inspired by her daughter. We talk about how literature connects us, sparks growth, and lets us dive into real-life challenges. Julee opens up about how her kids’ reactions to her work deepen her view of motherhood, plus how reader feedback has inspired her to try new things herself.

    Together, we’ll talk boundaries, self-care, and the ways Julee's “me list” can help you find empowerment and balance, especially for families navigating dysfunction or addiction.

    Ever wondered if the best place to find love isn't online but rather in the bolts and screws aisle at your local hardware store? Join us for a lighthearted exploration of the quirks and perks of modern dating as we toast to Thirsty First's October 19th Punktoberfest in Lowell. With live bands and craft breweries setting the stage, we weigh in on the world of dating apps, mixing humor with a dash of skepticism. Whether you're a digital dater or prefer old-school serendipity, we offer a playful take on meeting people and the thrill of local events like Punktoberfest that bring our community together.

    From Boston's "wicked cold" winters to Miami's reputation as the rudest city—who knew?—we traverse the colorful landscape of American slang and city rankings with a touch of humor. And what's a lively chat without a fantasy flight? We dream about private jets and family getaways, ponder the miracle of the "Safety Shot" drink for hangovers, and share personal anecdotes about battling the morning after. It's a spirited blend of laughs, cultural curiosities, and reflections on balancing life's pleasures with health and well-being. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the ride!

    In this episode, we’ve got a surprise guest—Skelly, the skeletal comedian, bringing some unexpected laughs. We’re talking about the everyday struggles we all know too well, from the rising cost of living to the never-ending battle with deodorant packaging. Plus, we’ll reminisce about the days when paychecks went further and throw in a pro tip for snagging deals at Target.

    Next up, we’re diving into the wild world of COVID-19 and 5G conspiracy theories. We’re questioning the outrageous claims, unpacking the pandemic’s origins, and sharing some personal stories about how it’s impacted our lives.

    We’ll also dig into Gen Z’s move toward zero-proof drinks and edibles, and throw around some “would you rather” scenarios (bad haircut or dye job, anyone?). To wrap it up, we’ll chat about our late-night TV faves and how hard it is to agree on what to watch.
