Hey Friend!

First of all, let me just say Ozempic had me in a chokehold, and for what? We kicked off this episode talking about the shortcuts we've tried on the road to health and how most of them left us worse off than when we started. And yes, I fully admit I was out here thinking a shot would do what discipline and patience are supposed to. 😩 Meanwhile, Ruthie's out here running half marathons like a champ, and our pastor had the nerve to call us out mid-sermon about our lifestyle choices. Rude but also accurate.

Then we slid right into mom territory because whew, the judgment is loud. We're talking solo Disney trips, "Should you be leaving your kids that long?" energy, and why people love to bring up your bank account the minute you do something for yourself. Let's be clear, moms deserve joy too, even if that joy looks like Dole Whip and fireworks without sticky little fingers everywhere.

And of course, it wouldn't be us if we didn't go there with social media. We unpacked the chaos of being vulnerable online, how people swear they know your whole life from one post, and why sometimes you just wanna keep your healing to yourself. If you've ever felt torn between sharing and protecting your peace, you'll feel this one.
