E14 Hey Mama!  How Did You Know If Motherhood Was Right For You?

Motherhood.  It’s not everyone’s cup of tea.   And that’s cool.  But, how do you know if it’s your path in life?   What was it that helped you decide one way or the other?   Getting pregnant, adoption or becoming a step-parent….or are you very happy just loving your friend’s kids or your nieces and nephews?   Whatever it is - it’s all good.  And it’s your choice and nobody else’s.

Listen to the girls discuss their path towards making this decision…..and don’t forget to get yourself some of the drank of the day!  Because we always start off the conversation with some fun gab, favorite things and some news stories!!!

The DD girls are getting into the holiday spirit by drinking Christmamosas!!!   Champs, sparkling apple juice (or cider), grapes, pomegranate seeds, apples…..and a whole lotta YUM!

Share your stories of your path to Motherhood.    We’d love to hear about your journey and share on the air!   [email protected]

E12 You Won Bitch, Now What?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve seen some of the largest lottery jackpots come up for grabs!  Did you play?  Did you fantasize what you would do with all that money if you won?  The girls discuss what they would do if they suddenly came into a lot of money….and it’s probably not what you think.

Join the girls as they discuss Trisha’s dating life, favorite things and their latest most memorable WOD.  Then take a moment as they reflect on what they are grateful for in 2018….

The girls drink local again when they sip on some Cranberry Hard Cider from Red Shedman Farm Brewery and Hop Yard in Mt. Airy, Maryland.  They also went outside their comfort zone and tried a Strawberry Rhubarb Gose.   Check out all that Red Shedman has to offer…and if you’re ever in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by for a drank.

E12 Gonna Love Myself

Have you ever caught yourself saying that you hate some part of yourself?  Or have you put yourself down in front of your kids?  Can you accept a compliment?  

In this episode, after the normal craziness of the opening segments, the girls dive into the topic of self-love.   Learn what the girls love and about themselves and each other….and listen to them talk about the things that they are continuing to work on. 

We are all worthy!  There is so much to love about each one of us.   Just take the compliments.   Look at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself how awesome you are. 

The drank of choice to go with this deep topic was a local brew.   We tried Bitch Monkey Tart Cherry Sour from 7 Locks Brewing in Rockville Maryland.  It was a great choice and you should go to your local beer store and pick some up!  DRINK LOCAL!

E11 Relationships and Soul Searching; Inspired Discussions Based on Red Table Talk

Recently the Girls have been watching Red Table Talk, Jada Pinkett Smith’s show on Facebook Watch.   While all of her episodes are worth watching, the last two shows with her husband Will Smith (Part 1 and Part 2), really struck each of the DD girls in a different way.  Jada invited Will to sit at the Red Table to discuss how their relationship had broken over the past few years….and how they rebuilt it after much soul searching. 

In episode 11, the Girls were inspired to reflect on the revelations from the show and how it may/may not relate to other people.

Check out Red Table Talk: 

https://www.facebook.com/redtabletalk/?referrer=video_home

As usual, the episode begins with the girls catching up and sharing stories.  Sit in, listen and hang with the Girls before settling into relationship talk.

The drank the girls were enjoying in this episode was a lemon sorbet mimosa.   Trisha gives the recipe and possible variations on the deliciousness.

E10 A Whole New World

In usual Double D fashion, episode 10 opens to a whole lot of crazy.   And a whole lot of singing.  The girls just can’t stop.  But, after talking about some favorite things, they delve into the bigger topic of dating someone your family/friends don’t approve of.  This touches on dating outside your religion, race and dating just plain ole jerks.  And as we often say…the direction this goes is not where there girls expected it to go. 

It was one of those weeks, so the girls are going hard core with some Herradura tequila shots.  Makes for an interesting episode.

E9 Do You Like Pina Coladas and Social Media?

Episode 9 starts off raucous as always…with another segment of Favorite Things and a whole lotta singing!  But the by the end, the girls touch on a very relevant topic that affects many of us in this age of technology…SOCIAL MEDIA.  They discuss the good, the bad and the ugly in terms of how social media is used in everyday life, politics and how it affects our youth.  

 In this episode the girls are tasting on some Deep Eddy’s vodka…..Peach flavor.  While they offer many different flavors, this one goes quite well in iced tea for a very refreshing treat.

E8 It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month – With Special Guest Dr. Yazan Abou-Ismail

In Episode 8 we discuss all things breasts with our special guest, Dr. Yazan (as we like to call him).  He is a cancer doctor at Case Western Reserve University and he was very gracious to call in and answer all of our questions about breast cancer.  It’s a must listen.

And in true DD fashion, the beginning of the episode is outrageous as always where we discuss our workouts, dranks and our victories!

Our drank of the day is a delicious fall red sangria with grilled fruit.   We use Kraken rum and inexpensive red wine.

Check out Kraken Rum and all the delicious drinks you can create at:

NOTE from the DD GIRLS:   Please take a moment and talk to your doctor about breast cancer, screening and prevention….either for you or a loved one.   We are making great progress in this area, but detecting early is key!
