  • Get to Know Us: Our Family Stories, Adoption + How We Grew Up | 10

    This one took an unexpected turn. The crew shares the family stories that shaped them—Laura’s adoption and wild 23andMe discovery, Liz’s diverse “Brady Bunch” upbringing, and Libby’s tight-knit Rhode Island family.

    This week, Liz, Libby + Laura are digging into:

    • Laura’s adoption and a surprising 23andMe story
    • Liz’s “Brady Bunch” family and her Irish-Brazilian roots
    • Libby’s tiny-but-mighty Rhode Island family and their traditions
    • The histories and traditions that made us who we are
    • STAY IN THE LOOP

      We love this little community. Keep up with the club on Instagram + TikTok, and subscribe to Bad Wives Club on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Follow our founding Bad Wives Club hosts, Liz + Libby!

    • Episode 9: The Rules & Exceptions

      This episode starts off with an epic story from Laura (& how her husband found out her breastmilk tasted like cereal, ha!), and some good laughs at ourselves for jinxing the kids’ good sleeping habits. Liz talks about the "hair flip" advice she got from a nutritionist and how she gets back on track with a detox routine she swears by.
      We then dive into the topic of this episode, which is all the rules society gives us, and when we see fit for exceptions. The “rules” relate to relationships, finances, kids, nutrition, etc. For some reason we can't stop laughing this episode... so we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it!

    • Episode 8: Botox, Birthdays and Baby love

      This week we are away enjoying the summer on The Cape, so here's an episode we pre-recorded Memorial Day weekend! We talk about Laura and Liz's daughters recent birthdays (Adri, 4 and Kiki, 5) and all the details of their celebrations. We dive into our selfcare, from botox to emsculpt, some of our favorite products, and everything in between. Libby was diagnosed with Crohns & colitis just weeks before her wedding, and she discusses how she navigates and controls her symptoms. We also discuss the reality of your life changing with babies, but how becoming a mother is the BEST chapter of your life which was probably our favorite conversation of the episode.
