## Resource

Memorial Day weekend means one thing: summer chaos has officially arrived. In this laid-back kickoff to our Summer of Chit Chat series, Stephanie and Shel are talking all things summer nostalgia... from drinking out of the water hose and melting popsicles to late-night Sonic runs, beach trips, grilling season, and summer travel plans. We also share updates on upcoming vacations to Disney and 30A, discuss raising teenagers in the era of TikTok slang and “brain rot,” and laugh about the generational differences between kids today and the summers we grew up with. This episode also includes a heartfelt life update from Shelby as she opens up about her cancer recurrence and why the podcast community has meant so much during this season of life. If you love casual conversations, funny friendship banter, motherhood chaos, travel talk, nostalgia, and real-life moments, this episode feels like sitting on the back porch with friends on a summer evening. Plus: details about this year’s Summer of Chit Chat guest episodes and how YOU can join the podcast.
