The cookisode is finally here, and it is landing just in time for the holidays. Whether you are trying to keep the kids fed while they are home on break or you are just ready to level up in the kitchen, this one is for you.

We are talking all things cooking and baking, starting with simple beginner meals and the kitchen gadgets that actually make life easier. We get into meal prep routines, grocery shopping strategies, and how to confidently drift away from a recipe without losing the plot.

We also walk through how we orient ourselves around the stove as blind moms, from finding your bearings with burners to safely managing multiple dishes at once. And of course, we get into baking: the tips, the tricks, and the basic ingredient science that makes the difference between “it worked” and “why did it turn into a brick?”

Some of our favorite lessons from independence training make their way into the conversation too, including the little skills and shortcuts that changed the way we move in the kitchen.

If you have been wanting to sharpen your cooking skills, get more comfortable with baking, or simply feel more confident whipping up something good, this is your episode. Hit play and let’s get cooking.

BDBU in Austin? On the court? Absolutely. Kisha and Josselyn officially drag Terrin into their world of sports as Babies Down, Bottles Up reps Metro Blaze at the Texas Goalball Tournament. We break down what goalball actually is, how the game works, and what it felt like to finally play together as a trio. The sportsmanship, the teamwork, the chaos, and the inside jokes on the court, we’re giving you all of it.

We swap stories from our weekend in Austin, our favorite moments from being reunited, and yes, the bruises we didn’t expect but proudly brought home. Terrin shares what it was like touching a goalball for the very first time, and how surprisingly natural she felt jumping into a game she’d only ever heard about from the other two.

We also get into our first experience riding in a Waymo self-driving car and why we instantly became fans. No weird small talk. No unhinged rants. No “five-star if I drop you at this random corner instead?” Danny proves our point perfectly with a real recording of the chaotic Uber driver he got stuck with on the way to the airport.

It’s friendship, sports energy, and pure BDBU vibes from the court to the rideshare. Hit play and join us in Austin.

Safety isn’t optional when you’re raising kids, and this week we’re getting into the real, everyday work that goes into keeping your home and your family protected. We’re talking first aid basics, what supplies you should always have stocked, and how we blind parents stay organized so we know exactly what we’re giving and when.

We get into babyproofing, toddler-proofing, and teen-proofing the house as your kids grow, plus the importance of locking up anything that could become a temptation or a risk—meds, alcohol, firearms, and more.

We also talk about how we tell what’s going on when our kids come running to us in pain or panic: listening for certain cues, asking the right questions, checking their bodies safely, and trusting our instincts even when we can’t see what’s wrong.

And because emergencies don’t wait for you to get ready, we’re breaking down safety plans too: what happens if there’s a fire, a break-in, or any situation where every second counts. Why having a plan matters, how to talk to your kids about it, and how to make sure everyone knows what to do.

It’s an important conversation full of practical tools, family-tested systems, and reminders that preparation really does make all the difference. This one’s for every parent who wants their home to be as safe and steady as possible.

We’re joined by friend of the show Kristin Revere from Gold Coast Doulas to explore a role that many don’t hear about often enough — the bereavement doula. Kristin walks us through the vital support she offers families who experience miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or a traumatic birth. She explains how this work differs from therapy and why having someone by your side who truly understands these moments makes all the difference.

We talk about what happens in the immediate aftermath of loss, both physically and emotionally, and how a bereavement doula helps families process shock, communicate with partners, and begin to heal. Kristin also shares ways to work through grief in healthy, sustainable ways, and how to set realistic expectations for yourself when it comes to recovery.

The conversation moves into how families can find balance when they’re ready to re-enter daily life, and the importance of giving yourself grace through anniversaries, due dates, and other emotional milestones. We also touch on what it’s like when the doula’s work comes to an end, and how to continue that healing journey afterward.

It’s a powerful and compassionate conversation — one that reminds us all that grief doesn’t have a timeline, and that no one should have to face it alone.

This episode is one of the hardest we’ve ever recorded. Terrin and Josselyn open up about their personal experiences with miscarriage, sharing what it was really like to go through it from start to recovery. They talk about the first signs that something was wrong, how they identified what was happening as blind women, and what the medical process looks like when a miscarriage occurs.

They walk through the procedures doctors perform, what recovery actually feels like, and how the emotional impact lingers long after the physical pain fades. The conversation gets deeply personal as they describe how grief affected them and their partners in different ways, and how even simple things—like attending events or enjoying certain activities—can bring back memories.

They also share what it’s like dealing with doctors who don’t always say the right thing, and why it’s important to express your own feelings separately on medical paperwork. Both women reflect on the joys they felt during pregnancy, the parts of that experience they miss, and the moments that took time to enjoy again without the weight of those reminders.

It’s a heavy, honest episode that doesn’t shy away from the details—but it’s also a reminder of the strength it takes to talk about what most keep to themselves.

So grab your glass, press play, and catch the vibe—it’s BDBU, live, loud, and unapologetically us. 🥂✨

Friend of the show Tanner Gers, founder of AccessAbilityOfficer.com, joins us to get real about employment in the blind and visually impaired community. With most blind adults still facing massive barriers to finding and keeping steady work, Tanner breaks down what it actually takes to stand out and succeed.

He talks about learning your strengths, mastering assistive tech, and why staying close to people in positions of influence—what he calls “proximity to power”—can change everything. We also talk about the hidden skills that stay-at-home parents build every day and how to translate those into résumé-ready experience when it’s time to rejoin the workforce.

Along the way, we share our own work-life balance struggles, the lessons we’ve learned about professionalism, and why effort matters more than excuses. Tanner keeps it straight, reminding us that in this world, cutting corners isn’t an option.

It’s an honest, practical, and motivating conversation about knowing your worth, putting in the work, and creating your own opportunities—no matter where you’re starting from.

Potty training—it’s one of those milestones every parent faces, and we’re sharing exactly how it went down in our homes. From spotting the first signs that our kids were ready, to the ways we encouraged them to keep going once they started, nothing is off the table.

We talk about the rewards that worked (and the ones that didn’t), how we handled kids who just weren’t ready yet, and the creative methods we used to help them through the process. Kisha, being the only one on the team with experience training both a boy and a girl, breaks down the differences and what worked for her family.

We also open up about teaching independence—how we showed our little ones to care for themselves after using the potty—and the tools that made life easier once they started going on their own.

If you’re a blind parent trying to figure out what works, or you just want to hear a few tried-and-true ideas to make potty training less stressful, this episode is packed with tips, laughs, and a whole lot of real talk. Press play and learn a few things with us.

Last week we took you through pregnancy. This week—perfect timing for episode 69—we’re tackling sex. From pregnancy sex to postpartum changes, we’re laying it all out: the awkward, the funny, the “hell yes,” and the “not tonight.”

We talk about how desire shifts before and after birth, how to bring the spark back when you’ve been with someone forever, and why communication is the real MVP of the bedroom. From straight-up saying what you like to experimenting with new ways of getting there, we’re giving you suggestions that will encourage your partner to listen—and deliver.

Birth control makes an appearance too: how it affected our bodies, why we stayed on, why we came off, and what sex felt like on both sides of the decision. And then there’s the jaw-dropping part—sighted people who can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that blind people have sex. (Yes, seriously.) We’re not just laughing at it—we’re asking YOU to send us your best retort for the next time someone drops one of those comments.

It’s blunt, it’s funny, it’s episode 69. Press play, because you know you want to hear this one.
