    I’m very picky about my podcasts. I used to hate them till I found for better and worse. These ladies are so funny and so relatable. I bring this podcast up in some tough conversations where an episode relates to the discussion and send it to them to listen after! Love these ladies DOWN

  • Please listen!!!

    Doing my boots on the ground duty to HIGHLY recommend this pod! Jeri and Rach give big sister energy and I love their dynamic. Also have picked up some new slang from Rach (toxica, the meeds, etc.) which is so confusing to my husband but that’s neither here nor there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HOTLINE CALLER #16 - Age Gaps in Dating
Q: How are you navigating a relationship with a younger guy and what makes it work despite the age difference?
The key is focusing on shared values, clear boundaries, and mutual respect, rather than the age gap alone; maturity, life goals, and how well you handle parenting and daily life often matter more than the number of years.
The Kids Are Clocking Everything - Co-parenting With Ciara!
Q: What is one thing that everyone seems to forget about why this is hard?
People are inherently emotional, and even when you know the right thing to do for the child, the visceral feelings of love, hurt, and history complicate the choice to put the child first.
HOTLINE CALLER #6 - Career Crisis
Q: What are you leaning toward doing if you take the nanny job?
We're leaning toward saying no to a full-time nanny role due to energy, time, and impact on our business and family life, and we need more clarity and safeguards if we did consider it.
Date Night - a vday special!
Q: What's your favorite at home date night?
Order DoorDash from their favorite restaurant and spend time watching shows together.
Date Night - a vday special!
Q: How do you deal with relationship anxiety?
