Election Whiplash, Running Fuel, and Finally Getting an Estate Plan

Joy and Claire discuss the aftermath of a “crazy” election week. They reflect on how podcasting affects confidence and self-perception, then pivot to aging and skincare, including face taping/sleep wrinkles, Botox, and “smoothies.” They share upcoming travel and holiday plans, plus updates from a Peru WhatsApp group about vicuña textiles. Conversation turns to running goals, trail-race training, fueling and chafing lessons, and using “We Run That” audio coaching. Finally, they celebrate meeting an estate planner to set up trusts/wills, update parents’ documents, and discuss executor choices and state-specific trust updates.
