When a freshly-divorced Meagan bought her own kayak at the age of 40 - and then hoisted it on top of her own car, all.by.herself - it represented a lot of things: namely, independence, freedom, and the space in her life to lean into a hobby that she’d longed to do more of but but had never seemed to find the time for. Seven years later, there still aren’t many places Meagan would rather be than paddling down a river.
In the very first episode of Midlife Lady Leisure Pursuits, Sarah and Meagan discuss their experiences paddling a variety of waterways from river to lake to ocean and future excursions they hope to take. Meagan also shares her thoughts on renting vs. buying a kayak and why buying her own at the age of 40 felt like such a pivotal midlife-lady moment.
