It's hard to believe we've reached the end of our very first season!

In this season finale of Between Batches, we're slowing down with a classic Aperol Spritz and taking a look back at this incredible journey. From faith and friendship to marriage, body image, hobbies, burnout, and everything in between, we're reflecting on the conversations that meant the most to us—and sharing a few behind-the-scenes moments from creating this podcast.

We'll also let you know what's ahead for the summer. We're taking a little break to rest, refill our cups, and dream up even more conversations (and recipes!) for Season Two, returning this September.

Before we go, we need your help! What topics would you love to hear us tackle next season? What recipes should we make? We'd love to hear your ideas because this community is becoming one of our favorite parts of Between Batches.

So pour yourself an Aperol Spritz, pull up a chair, and join us one more time before our summer break.

Thank you for laughing, listening, and spending this first season with us. We'll see you in September—because life doesn't stop... it just happens Between Batches.

Friendship & Cheesecake 🍋

What does friendship look like in your Queenager era?

In this episode of Between Batches, we're sharing slices of lemon cheesecake and diving into the beautiful, complicated, and ever-changing world of friendship in midlife. From navigating different life stages and shifting expectations, to dealing with FOMO, loneliness, and the challenge of maintaining meaningful connections, we're talking about it all.

We discuss what being a good friend really means, how friendships evolve as we age, why some friendships grow deeper while others drift apart, and how to find grace for ourselves and the women around us. Along the way, we share personal stories, a few laughs, and plenty of reflections.

So grab a cup of coffee, a slice of cheesecake, and join us for an honest conversation about the friendships that shape our lives in this season.

Because life happens Between Batches.

Faith and Food | Churro Rice Krispie Treats & Real Conversations

In this episode of Between Batches, we're talking about two things that have shaped who we are: faith and food.

While making a batch of delicious churro Rice Krispie treats, we open up about our lives as Christian women, moms, wives, and friends trying to faithfully navigate a culture that often feels complicated and divided. As Evangelical Christians and LCMS Lutheran, we share our perspectives on parenting in today's world, raising children in the faith, and what it's like to be a Christian conservative woman both online and in everyday life.

Some parts of this conversation are serious. Some are challenging. And, as always, some are downright hilarious. We don't claim to have all the answers, but we believe honest conversations matter.

So pull up a chair, grab a treat, and join us as we talk about faith, family, culture, and the grace that carries us through it all.

Because life happens Between Batches.

This week, we're serving up a sweet fruit pizza and an even sweeter conversation about the season of life we're in right now—our Queenager era.

From changing bodies and shifting confidence to wondering who that woman in the mirror actually is, we're talking about the realities of middle age with plenty of laughs along the way. Does your ideal summer outfit look different than it did twenty years ago? How do you feel about wrinkles, cellulite, bat wings, and everything else that comes with earning your age? And while we're at it, let's discuss plastic surgery, preventative skincare, and whether teenagers really need a 12-step skincare routine.

Join us as we share our unfiltered thoughts on aging, beauty standards, self-acceptance, and learning to dress for the season you're actually in—not the one you left behind.

Grab a slice of fruit pizza and settle in. This one's equal parts honest, hilarious, and heartfelt.

This week on the Between Batches Podcast, we’re embracing our full “queenager” era with a Cherry Pie Cocktail in hand and absolutely zero shame about our growing list of grandma hobbies. From baking sourdough and canning vegetables to gardening, football obsessions, exercising, and collecting hobbies like emotional support projects… we’re talking about all of it.

Why do these slower, cozier hobbies feel almost rebellious in today’s hustle culture? Why do women suddenly wake up one day needing bird feeders, a Dutch oven, and twelve different kinds of tomato plants? And why does healing sometimes look less like grinding harder and more like making homemade jam while watching football?

We dive into the chaos, comfort, and comedy of aging into ourselves, finding joy in simple things, and realizing maybe our grandmas were onto something all along.

So grab a cocktail, your current hyper-fixation hobby, and come hang out with us Between Batches. 💕

This week on Between Batches, we’re getting real about burnout—the emotional, mental, and physical kind that sneaks up on all of us eventually. While sharing homemade brownies and honest conversation, we talk about how we personally cope when life feels overwhelming. Do we shut down? Spiral? Power through?  A little bit of all three?

We’re diving into healthy coping skills, the not-so-healthy ones, and the pressure society puts on us to always stay busy, productive, and “doing more.” Is hustle culture helping us…or hurting us? 

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, emotionally exhausted, or just trying to keep all the plates spinning, this episode is for you. So grab a brownie, take a breath, and join us for a conversation that’s honest, relatable, and maybe exactly what you needed this week.

In this special Cinco de Mayo drop, we’re serving up Marriage & Margaritas—a conversation that’s equal parts refreshing, honest, and a little bit spicy. After more than 20 years of marriage each, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to go the distance.

We talk about the hard that tests us, the amazing moments that make it all worth it, and the silly, everyday things that somehow matter the most. From miscommunication to laughter in the kitchen, this episode is a reminder that lasting love isn’t perfect—it’s purposeful.

So grab your favorite margarita and join us at the table. Because just like a good cocktail, marriage is all about balance—and sometimes, a little extra lime.

In this episode of Between Batches, we’re talking about one of the most meaningful (and humbling) parts of life—raising kids… and what happens when they grow up. 🤍🍪

From the early days of shaping little hearts to building real friendships with our adult children, this conversation is full of honesty, reflection, and a few “we might’ve done that differently” moments. Because let’s be real—there’s no perfect recipe for parenting.

We’re sharing what we’ve learned, what we’re still learning, and how our role shifts over time—from guiding hands to trusted friends.

So grab something sweet, settle in, and join us for a conversation about growth, grace, and the relationships that keep evolving long after the cookies are baked.

✨ Life happens between batches.
