Jeri's making Christmas cookies and Rach psychoanalyzes the hell out of her for it. The girls hit the ground absolutely running this episode and talk sibling dynamics, vacationing with toddlers, and Jeri's decluttering extravaganza before getting into the meat this week - why is Rach leaving the wedding industry?

After over 10 years of documenting weddings, Rach is hanging up her cameras and retiring. Jeri is a few years ahead of her so we chat about how weddings have changed in the past decade, and how social media has changed weddings forever.

Rach experiences a day of self-care at the Parson's household, we talk Love Island once again, and Rach vents about her disgust for board games which Jeri couldn't understand less. This weeks hotline caller gets us in our feels when our listener, "Renee", calls in asking for advice on how to heal and know yourself after getting out of a toxic and abusive 14 year relationship. Rach gets emo about her live-in friend, babysitter, and soon-to-be flight attendant TayTay who was in Renee's shoes a year and a half ago. Rach and Jeri talk about all the joy that is to be had at the other side of this heartbreak, and we can't wait to hear from Renee again as she continues to grow and heal.

Jeri has jet lag, Rachel hates British beds, and all roads lead back to a Disney movie rant. Our hotline callers this week bring us to a very important topic: family planning. Rach and Jeri dissect TWO hotline callers this week. Our first caller asks for advice on how to know if a tube removal is the right birth control option (and how to get her parents to chill), and our second caller asks the question we've all asked ourselves: how do you know the *right time* to start having kids?

This hotline caller episode we called in the big guns - Rach's (second) husband, Josh! These two morons with ADHD attempt to record a podcast and we think they mostly succeeded. We do some fun little Josh Q&A before getting into the meat of this week's hotline email - how to navigate resentment in marriage/parenthood. Luckily, Rach and Josh have been in therapy for a year now navigating those trifling ass waters and they are hot on the mic sharing what they've learned. Bottom line: the bar for men is in Hell and even good men need to be better at bridging the inequitable labor gap.

Jeri's fresh off the heels of a crashout but Rach was already at her house to record so they got to unpack it together on the mic. The Parson's are thinking it might be nice to add a little baby to the team so Jeri got her IUD out... and a lot of feelings came with it. So come along for the ride and get inside Jeri's brain for this while we talk about starting over, and navigating parenthood and partnership in a second marriage.

Jeri is back from vacation! She gives us a lil taste of the Parsons family beach trip and all the icks that came with it. Rach and Jeri go on a little "funny business" rant before we get into the hotline caller this week! This week is courtesy of our gorgeous gorgeous caller who asks for advice on how two neurodivergent people can communicate clearly and effectively. Lucky for our caller - that's exactly what Rach and Josh pay the big bucks for at their marriage therapist! So if you are a little neurospicy and feel like you are communicating in a completely different language sometimes... this one is for you.

This episode goes out to all the listeners who have asked for more of a deep dive into cystic fibrosis and Rach's motherhood journey through that. Rach brings us all back to October 2024 and how her family's life changed forever when Piper was born. After being labeled with 'failure to thrive' and getting admitted to the hospital, Pip was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 2 weeks old and life has never been the same. It's been a wild journey for the Rosche-Pridemore's but they wouldn't change a single thing about the life that led them to Piper Lynn. We are so proud to be a part of the CF community and are so lucky Piper was born in a time where there is so much medical advancements allowing her to live life to the fullest.
