Welcome to another episode of Girls Who Gab with Habs and Muffy — In this episode, Habs and Muffy revisit the joy of summer reading—to the dreamy, stolen hours that only summer seems to offer; they explore why reading hits differently this time of year. They reflect on how books have shaped their lives across the decades and talk about the authors they’ve grown up with, the ones who feel like old friends, and how summer has always made just a little more room for imagination. Whether you’re carving out time in a chaotic life or simply escaping into a great story, this episode is a love letter to the books that find us when the world finally slows down.

In this episode, Habs and Muffy celebrate turning 54 the only way they know how—with unfiltered opinions, decades of hard-won wisdom, and zero tolerance for anyone’s nonsense. They talk about what it means to stop caring (in the best possible way), the underrated power of experience, and the strange freedom that comes from officially being old enough to not put up with crap. From career pivots to friendships that finally feel easy, to the excitement (and mystery) of what's still ahead—this is middle age with attitude, insight, and a whole lot of laughs.

In this episode, Habs and Muffy take a sparkler-lit stroll down memory lane, sharing their most vivid Fourth of July memories. From childhood parades with crepe paper–covered bikes to grandmother's potato salad, they revisit the small-town traditions that made Independence Day feel like magic. They swap stories of tuning in to the Boston Pops, backyard BBQs in suburbia, rooftop fireworks in the city, and even celebrating the 4th while living abroad—where the hot dogs might be harder to find, but the patriotic spirit shows up anyway. It’s red, white, and remember when—with all the heart and humor you’ve come to expect.

Welcome to Choosing Motherhood (Or Not)—a candid, compassionate conversation about the many paths women take when it comes to motherhood.

Habs always knew she’d have children, but that didn’t mean it came easily. The journey has been tough, complicated, and far from perfect—but it’s also filled with unexpected joy in the little moments. She doesn’t sugarcoat it, but she also can’t imagine life without her girls.

Muffy, on the other hand, made the choice not to have children. And while those who know her often say she would’ve been an incredible mom, that path wasn’t hers. Now at 54, she feels she could be ready to be a mom—but that’s not the life she chose.

They explore the complicated, beautiful, and sometimes bittersweet terrain of having kids, not having kids, and everything in between.

Whether you’re a mom, never wanted to be one, still deciding, or had the choice taken from you—this podcast holds space for your story.

In this episode, Habs and Muffy from Girls Who Gab pour a little wine and a lot of honesty into what makes friendship one of the most powerful forces in our lives. We’re talking about the kind of connections that hold us up, call us out, and carry us through—from the friends who know your childhood stories by heart to the ones who somehow just get you.

Because friendship isn’t always easy. It evolves, stretches, disappears, and comes back again. It’s cozy and complicated, healing and hilarious. But at its core, there’s something profoundly beautiful about being able to find a friend—and even more so, to keep one. Especially in a world where time is tight and connection is rare.

So grab your drink, settle in, and let’s talk about the power of friendship—the kind that changes everything.

We grew up on microwaved dinners, fish sticks, and the occasional "fend for yourself" night—and now we’re somehow the ones in charge of the menu? Whether you’re cooking for a partner, a full-on family, or just trying to feed yourself without crying into a bag of shredded cheese, this episode of Girls Who Gab with Habs and Muffy is for you. We’re talking about the chaos, guilt, and occasional glory of meal planning—why it always feels like a full-time job, and how we’re all just trying to survive the week without ordering takeout five nights in a row. Spoiler: nobody really knows what’s for dinner.

Welcome to Planes, Trains & Automobiles (and Buses Too)—the podcast for anyone who survived family road trips without seatbelts, airport smoking sections, and Greyhound bathrooms in the ‘90s. We’re Gen Xers who know travel isn’t just about where you’re going—it’s about what breaks down on the way, who forgot the map, and how many times you heard “are we there yet?” before you snapped. From window, middle, and aisle seat nightmares to epic detours or delays, we swap stories, laugh through the chaos, and try to remember how we ever traveled without Google Maps or noise-canceling headphones. It’s travel therapy with a mixtape vibe. Pack snacks - of course those that aren't smelly!

Join Habs and Muffy as they dive headfirst (in heels, of course) into the world of being blissfully underestimated. On the surface? Maybe a little ditzy, a little clueless. But dig deeper and you’ll find razor-sharp minds hiding behind every “like, totally!” From Chrissy Snow to Cher Horowitz, we unpack how pop culture typecasts women who lead with charm, sparkle, or silliness — and how that image can be both limiting and liberating.

Through real talk, personal stories, and a lot of laughs, we explore the fine line between perception and reality, and celebrate the multi-faceted brilliance of women who aren't afraid to be both light and deep. Because being a little clueless doesn’t mean you’re not clued in.
