Sing along if you are feeling the coronavirus/COVID-19 stress. Female IQ is with you—albeit at least six feet away. In typical What You Drinking? laugh-out-loud fashion, in this episode Laura and Becca shoot the shiitake about their week. But, because we both have family members who are in the high risk category, we practice spatial, not social, distancing and record via FaceTime. Respectfully considering the pandemic, Female IQ also honors the severity of the situation and discusses an array of topics we believe will be both helpful and give hope. So, if you need a happy distraction this is the podcast for you. Let Female IQ entertain you with: A slightly inappropriate story about Becca exposing herself.Spring break at Rosemary Beach, Florida.Self-quarantining.Homeschooling.Inspirational women like Hilary.SmartHER News.theSkimm.iRobot Roomba.Hand washing.Vest bras.

Vest bras. Ok. So it's a newbie term, but basically one that Female IQ is trying to make more popular and possibly mass produce because we believe it will revolutionize the garment-geared-toward-moms industry. In this episode, Becca and Laura sip on orange and bitters infused water. You will learn what a "vest bra" is, we talk about going commando (again), and we laugh about mom pranks. Also, you will listen to a compilation of inappropriate and embarrassing stories that may or may not have to do with nipples.“We believe every woman has something intelligent to say.
