Show Notes
Kim and Grandma Gail kick off the new year by reflecting on five years of Excuse My Grandma and the idea that change is possible at any age. After time in Florida and a return to New York for an exciting new (still secret) project, they share life updates including apartment hunting, evolving routines, and generational differences around work, home, and “settling.” The conversation moves into New Year reflections, revisiting old passions, embracing change, and knowing when not to fix what isn’t broken. In Ask Grandma Anything, they answer listener questions on relationships, gift-giving, Palm Beach style, and whether it’s ever too late to start over. In The Grandma Report, they discuss a Vogue article exploring new research suggesting the brain may not fully mature until age 32, sparking a lively debate about adulthood, habits, and personal growth.
