Episode #549
Ep. 548 Rosh Hashonah, Clothes, Menopause and more.
On this episode of Saturdays with Stacy , Jenny and Stacy head into the Jewish New Year with a very Saturdays with Stacy mix of fashion, family, menopause, body image, tennis, technology, friendship and gratitude. They kick things off with some serious fall shopping talk, including Stacy’s enthusiasm for the La Ligne/Banana Republic collaboration, pleated pants, suede, stripes and the idea that you don’t need an entirely new wardrobe to make yourself feel good—a few new pieces or even reorganizing what you already own can give you a fall refresh. Jenny also shares her love for an affordable Quince cotton-cashmere sweater, while reminding everyone that her issues with wool and cashmere remain very real. The conversation then turns to menopause, temperature swings and the frustration of simply not feeling quite right in your body. Stacy talks about her experience with vaginal estrogen and the bloating she believes she experienced while using Imvexxy, while the sisters discuss just how hormonally sensitive some women can be. Stacy also shares an update on taking Repatha, with a little help from Ruthie making sure she actually gives herself the injection. There are plenty of family updates too. Stacy spent Labor Day weekend relaxing in the Hamptons and then moved into Sophie’s for the week, giving her lots of time with the grandchildren—including special podcast guest Archie and an appearance from adorable Beatrice. The sisters also talk about how much fun they’ve been having watching an especially exciting U.S. Open, while Jenny looks ahead to Raquel being fully moved into her new apartment. With the episode arriving around Rosh Hashanah and the 25th anniversary of September 11th approaching, the conversation takes a more serious turn. Jenny and Stacy discuss an old James Woods interview about his experience on a flight prior to 9/11 and reflect on how astonishing it is that 25 years have passed. Jenny also talks about having a son traveling outside the country, how much she misses him and how grateful she is that they speak every day—leading to a larger conversation about family relationships and the growing phenomenon of estrangement between adult children and their parents. Of course, things quickly get lighter again when the sisters recap a very fun birthday dinner for their longtime friend Elise at Campagnola in New York City. The night leads to a debate that may require listener participation: What exactly does it mean when someone tells you that you are “regular size”? After Haley uses the phrase, Jenny, Stacy and Lisa are left analyzing whether “regular size” is a compliment, an insult—or something no woman ever wants to hear. That discussion becomes even funnier when Stacy recounts a man at her gym asking whether she had “changed her look.” With no new haircut, workout clothes or obvious explanation, Stacy spirals into trying to figure out exactly what he meant—and wonders whether she needs to go back and demand clarification. The sisters unpack how loaded even an innocent comment about a woman’s appearance can become, particularly when body image is already on your mind. Stacy also talks about getting her second Prolia injection for osteoporosis, which somehow leads—naturally—to jokes about jaw side effects, getting skinny and whether the gym guy would finally approve of her “new look.” There’s also talk of the newest iPhone, whether either sister is ready for a foldable phone, the return of loafers, Birkenstocks, ballerina sneakers and why Jenny is officially done with towering shoes—even if Stacy thinks they would look fabulous walking into court. The episode closes where the New Year conversation began: with gratitude. Jenny and Stacy reflect on how quickly summer—and life—seem to move as they get older, and why that makes it even more important not to sweat the small stuff. Stacy shares that she is heading to a challah bake and Torah class with her girls on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, feeling especially grateful for the people around her. Wishing everyone—Jewish or not—a happy, healthy New Year , a wonderful start to the school year and a reminder to appreciate the moments while you’re in them.
