This week, you’re basically on the phone with us. We’re catching up on life, motherhood, and everything in between, with a listener Q&A mixed in along the way.

Liz is back from Italy and giving us the recap, and we're officially in the school-year trenches: her oldest started KINDERGARTEN (how?!) and her younger son had a heartbreaking preschool drop-off that had everyone in their feelings.

Then we get into your questions: What are we actually packing in our kids’ lunches? How do we divide the morning chaos with our husbands? How much TV are our kids really watching? And how do we deal with that constant underlying anxiety that something bad could happen to our kids?

We’re also talking about finding the balance between fitness, nutrition, and actually enjoying your life, our advice for going from one kid to two, traveling with babies, and how we’re settling into our new routines now that summer is officially over.

And because apparently we’re full of wellness advice now, Liz introduces us to the “nappuccino” !! a hangover recovery method that we obviously needed to discuss.

Plus, we’re sharing some of our current favorite Nutré meals! If you want to make the weeknight dinner/lunch chaos a little easier, head to gonutre.com and use code BWC40 for 40% off your first order.

Liz’s husband Jeff joins the pod for a conversation about grief, perspective, marriage, and why sometimes the hardest seasons of life change the way you choose to live.

After losing both of his parents, Jeff shares how grief has shaped his outlook on life and taught him one of the biggest lessons: don’t wait for someday.

As Liz and Jeff get ready to leave for their first trip to Europe together (Positano!) they talk about why they decided to finally take the trip, prioritizing their marriage in the chaos of raising a family, and making time for the things that are so easy to keep putting off.

Because there will always be a reason to wait. The kids are young. Work is busy. It’s expensive. The timing isn’t perfect. But life doesn’t wait for the perfect time.

This week, we’re joined by Alexandria Hershman, a licensed clinical therapist, for an important conversation about maternal mental health, a topic that has been brought to the forefront as the Lindsay Clancy trial continues.

Rather than focusing on the details of the trial itself, we’re using the conversation surrounding it as an opportunity to talk about the realities of postpartum mental health and the things we wish more women and families understood, while also sharing some of our own personal experiences.

Allie helps us break down the differences between the baby blues, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, and postpartum psychosis, including the signs that partners, family members, and friends should know to look for. We talk about the important distinction between intrusive thoughts and command hallucinations, why some symptoms require immediate intervention, and how difficult it can be for the people closest to a new mom to recognize when something is seriously wrong.

We also get into the role of medication and psychiatric care, the major gaps (that we have personally experienced) in the way women are screened and supported after giving birth, and one of the biggest barriers to getting help: the fear many mothers have that if they tell someone what they’re really thinking or experiencing, their children could be taken away.

This is a conversation about education, awareness, advocacy, and creating a world where mothers feel safe enough to say, “Something isn’t right. I need help.” and the need for our partners to understand and step in immediately and proactively.

We kick things off by sharing our thoughts on the Lindsay Clancy trial and the latest developments before diving into a much more personal conversation. Libby is heading back to work after six months of maternity leave, and we’re talking honestly about the mix of emotions that comes with it—the excitement, the guilt, the anxiety, and the bittersweet reality of leaving your baby for the first time. We also chat about the new schedules, routines, and balancing act our families are about to settle into as this new chapter begins. To wrap things up, we obsess over Netflix’s I Will Find You - WATCH IT!

Libby is entering her “I just want to stay in my little family bubble” era. Between the kids, the house, the routines, and just… LIFE, she has officially reached the point where the thought of adding another social plan to the calendar feels absolutely exhausting.

We’re talking about that phase of motherhood where you genuinely love your friends, love seeing people, and still somehow want to cancel every single plan and be home in sweatpants by 6 PM. Is it burnout? Is it getting older? Is it motherhood? Or are we simply realizing that sometimes our favorite place to be is home with our people?

Plus, we get into the guilt of saying no, feeling like you should be more social, and why protecting your peace might actually be the most social thing you can do right now.

In this episode, we take you through a real day in our lives as two moms with two different looking summer schedules.

Libby shares what a typical day looks like as a stay-at-home mom with baby Sonny while her two older boys spend their mornings at camp. From her morning coffee, packing up and out the door, to keeping a baby entertained, managing the house, and getting everyone through the bedtime routine, she gives a behind-the-scenes look at life at home with three boys.

Liz shares her perspective as a working mom, balancing work, summer camp schedules, drop-offs, pick-ups, and everything in between. Together, they compare their routines, talk about the differences between being a stay-at-home mom (for the last 2 weeks of maternity leave) and a working mom during the summer.

This week we're answering your parenting and mom-life questions, and it's clear Libby is a '90s mom while Liz is our resident "wannabe crunchy" mom. We compare our different parenting styles as we tackle some of your questions.

We chat about when kids are ready to play outside without parents, why we think too much time indoors and online can sometimes be more harmful than free play outside, and the age we would let a 6-year-old use a public bathroom alone (which naturally leads to a conversation about moms, dads, and taking opposite-gender kids into public restrooms).

We also answer whether it's normal to argue more before family vacations (spoiler: yes!), why the mental load is at an all-time high before a trip, whether we're spending every weekend out or trying to save money, when we transitioned our toddlers into big-kid beds, and our kids' current favorite toys. We wrap things up by talking about Nintendo Switch, screen time, and Liz's experience introducing gaming to her son.

This week on Bad Wives Club, we're kicking things off with the beauty products we're currently loving before celebrating Liz's upcoming 35th birthday and why we're fully embracing everything our thirties have to offer. Then we dive into all things parenting—from trying different parenting approaches to teaching our kids gratitude and instilling responsibility in our little humans from an early age. We also chat about why so many moms feel disconnected from their husbands during the summer when the kids are home full-time, and remind ourselves that none of us are alone in the chaos of raising little humans.

Summer is here!! This week we're sharing exciting travel plans, including trips to Cape Cod, Italy, and Aruba, while Libby embraces a summer of local adventures with her boys and new baby Sonny. From vacation packing and family travel to finding fun close to home, we’re diving into what summer looks like in this season of motherhood.

In the second half of the episode, Libby reflects on soaking up these final weeks as a stay-at-home mom before returning to work in August. She opens up about why this has been her best postpartum experience yet, prioritizing healthy eating, consistent workouts, and taking care of herself so she can show up fully for the chaos, joy, and nonstop adventures that come with raising three boys.

Whether you’re jet-setting this summer or staying close to home, this episode is a reminder to enjoy the season you’re in and make the most of the moments that matter.

Welcome back to the Bad Wives Club, Courtney Little! We’re joined again by holistic nutritionist and wellness expert Courtney Little for a candid conversation about one of the hottest topics in health right now: peptides. We break down what peptides are, who they may help, and why they’re not the magic solution social media sometimes makes them out to be. Courtney shares her perspective on metabolic health, sustainable weight loss, GLP-1 medications, and how peptides can be a useful tool, but not the whole toolbox. We also dive into the importance of addressing root causes, building healthy habits, and what people should know before jumping on the latest wellness trend.

Whether you’re peptide-curious, considering a GLP-1, or simply looking to better understand your health, this episode is packed with practical information and a refreshing, balanced approach to wellness.

We're SO LUCKY that Courtney is sharing her FREE peptides guide with us that you can access here! If this leaves you wanting even more information, you can check out her course strictly on peptides to learn more. Be sure to follow her on instagram :)
