Our Favorite Binges: Comfort Shows Feel-Good TV, & Must Read Books

The world feels heavy… and sometimes you just need something that makes you laugh, escape, or feel like yourself again.

This week, Karen and Lisa are sharing the binge-worthy shows, movies, books, and music they turn to when life feels overwhelming—from laugh-until-you-snort favorites like Ted Lasso and Derry Girls to darker, can’t-look-away British mysteries and true crime escapes.

But this isn’t just about zoning out. It’s about finding what actually helps—whether that’s comfort, release, or a full-on mental getaway. Along the way, they get real about midlife stress, grief, nervous system overload, and why sometimes the best medicine is a show that lets you feel everything… or nothing at all.

If you’re a midlife woman juggling all the things and craving a break that actually works—this one’s for you.

Press play, pour a drink, and find your next binge. 🥂
