Meet the Women Behind the Nostalgia
Amanda Mackey
Shelley Valdemar
Amanda is an LMFT who’s in the middle of exploring what comes next—because even therapists don’t get a manual for their 30s and 40s. Empathetic, self-aware, and a little dorky at heart, she’s the one guiding the conversations, asking the hard-but-kind questions, and helping turn all the mess into something that actually makes sense.
Shelley is a supervisor at a big tech company, but her heart lives firmly in the creative lane. A spicy redhead who speaks fluent sarcasm and drops the occasional four-letter word, she’s the one calling out the bullshit, asking what everyone else is thinking, and still loving her people fiercely behind the scenes.
We've been friends since the days of cassette tapes and neon windbreakers. Now, we’re navigating the decade no one warned us about—our 40s. Join us as we dissect life, careers, and the enduring power of a friendship that started in 1986.
