                  • Hitting the Mother Load! Motherhood Musings and Netflix Specials with Rosebud Baker!

                    Comedian and writer Rosebud Baker joins the show fresh off the release of her Netflix special, The Mother Lode, which is an absolute must-watch for anyone who's pregnant, postpartum, or just deep in the chaos of mom life.

                    Filmed half while she was 8 months pregnant and half about a year into motherhood, Rosebud’s special is laugh-out-loud funny, painfully relatable, and brilliantly honest. Sarah knew immediately after watching it that she had to get Rosebud on Bottle Service to share some laughs, talk real talk about the transition into motherhood, and celebrate the absurd, messy, beautiful ride that is becoming a parent.

                    Expect giggles, truth bombs, and that rare kind of comic relief only another mom can deliver.

                        The postpartum period is a hormonal rollercoaster. Your body is doing a lot as it shifts out of pregnancy mode and tries to find its new normal. While some of this chaos is totally natural, certain everyday habits might be making things harder than they need to be!

                        In this episode, Sarah chats about some sneaky ways we unknowingly sabotage our own hormone recovery. From sleep habits to "mom breakfast" to trying to bounce back too quickly, we’re breaking down 5 surprisingly common ways new moms can throw their hormones out of whack, and most importantly, how to fix them!

                        If you’ve been feeling extra depleted, anxious, or just “off” lately, this one's for you.

                          Ever wonder what your pet really thinks when a new baby enters the picture? After stumbling into the world of animal communication in a late-night TikTok spiral, Sarah needed to find out. This week, we track down famed Animal Communicator Kara Uzdiela, aka ⁠@PetsEyeView⁠ on TikTok and Instagram to explore what our pets are feeling during one of life’s biggest transitions: bringing home a baby!

                          If you're pregnant, just brought a baby home, or are navigating the chaos of kids + fur babies, this episode is for you. Kara joins us to share how pets sense pregnancy, how to prep them for the new arrival, and what really goes through their heads during that big transition. We’ll also talk about managing behavior changes, supporting your pet emotionally, and how YOU TOO can better communicate with them so everyone in your home—furry or not—feels secure and loved.

                              May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month, and to close it out, Sarah is opening up in a deeply personal and honest episode about her experience with postpartum depression. Spoiler alert: it might not look like what you expect.

                              We discuss the subtle signs of PPD that are often missed, what daily life can really feel like when you’re living through it, and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with trying to keep it all together. From the conventional to the downright strange, she shares the wide range of things she’s tried in an effort to manage it—from therapy and medication to supplements, peptides, and more.

                              Whether you're in the thick of it, have been there before, or want to better understand what so many new moms silently go through, this episode is a raw, compassionate, and much-needed reminder that you're not alone. Buckle up—it’s a vulnerable one.
