Binge Worthy Shows For Women

Life after Kids with Drs. Brooke and Lynne

There’s a time and place for everything and sometimes you just need a light-hearted fluff conversation and an opportunity to relax, and binge watch a little tv. In this episode of Life after Kids, we’re keeping it casual and discussing our favorite binge-worthy shows just in time for the holiday break

Key Takeaways:

• Historical dramas like "Downton Abbey" and "Poldark" provide a glimpse into the past and can be educational.
• Comedies like "New Girl" and "Ted Lasso" offer lighthearted entertainment and laughter.
• Watching shows together as a family can be a great way to bond and spend quality time.
• Laughter stimulates the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.

Watching shows that bring joy and laughter is a great way to relax, unwind, and take some “me time”. We hope you’ll find moments like these during the holiday break. After all the gift wrapping, cooking, cleaning, and entertaining is through, it’s so nice to kick your feet up with a yummy snack, a glass of wine or tea and a fabulously entertaining series to watch. Get prepared for some gloriously satisfying binge watching by listening to this week’s episode of Life after Kids.
