Ep162 What’s Really In The Way Of Our Retirement
Jan 20, 2026 Season 16 Episode 11
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu

Besties Angella and Leslie open the closet—literally, with a funny cashmere moment—and then open up about the deeper calculus of stepping away: identity, security, and the pull to live more joyfully while they can.
