New series, who dis? We’re kicking off What Would Felicia & Natalie Do?—aka the unsponsored tour of our actual medicine cabinets and the messy thought process behind them. This week’s hot topic: the internet spiral over acetaminophen in pregnancy and why “use the least amount necessary” somehow broke the timeline. We talk fevers (what they’re for, when we watch vs. intervene, why demeanor matters more than the number), safe ways we manage symptoms for moms-to-be and littles (think electrolytes, lukewarm baths, ABC homeopathy, saline, herbs), and practical pain alternatives from prenatal chiro to nettle tea to fixing your dang chair. The thesis? Go least-invasive to most-invasive, observe your people like it’s your job, and prep your cabinet before the 2 a.m. panic. Choose what’s right for your family—no politics required, just discernment.

Friendly reminder: We’re chiropractors chatting about our own choices. This episode is education + opinion, not personal medical advice. Do what’s best for you with a trusted provider.

This week’s episode takes you on a wild ride—from Ayurvedic baby sleep hacks to navigating the depths of trapped emotions with the Emotion Code. We open up about intuition in practice, post-COVID reflections at Palmer Homecoming, and the healing (and tears) that surfaced along the way. Of course, no week is complete without a little chaos: one of us surprised our husband with the ultimate adrenaline gift—driving Ferraris and Lamborghinis on a racetrack (yes, Hoka shoes were involved). Between laughter, raw honesty, and a few unexpected stories (like the “dead brother under the house” parenting tactic), this episode blends chiropractic life, motherhood, and feral fun in our signature unfiltered style.

From toddler leashes in airports to co-sleeping realities, we’re unpacking the parenting stuff people whisper about and actually living it out loud. We swap stories on safety vs. stigma (leashes, helmets, crowds), how we really slept those first months (chest-sleeping, co-sleeping, why couches are a no), and why “cry it out” short-circuited our nervous systems. Natalie introduces “Jam Jam,” the surprisingly effective monster for boundary-setting (thanks, Hunt, Gather, Parent), and we talk Montessori at home—tiny humans doing real jobs, everything in its place, and routines that build flexibility later. We also get into intuition (wild Reiki visions, pregnancy gut checks), the invisible postpartum cliff at 16–18 months, and giving yourself permission to choose the easy, connected thing when it serves everyone best. Zero shame, lots of laughs, maximum honesty.

Insufficient brain cells, swan drama, and the great grape standoff—oh my. In this delightfully unhinged catch-up, we swap camping (okay, glamping) stories, reveal why Wyatt the Swan needed his own 23andMe, chat intrusive thoughts and postpartum anxiety, and troubleshoot toddler “hitting” with energy-redirect tricks (hi, clapping). We also recount Gene’s first full-body Target tantrum…over non-organic grapes (glyphosate girlies unite), wonder if food dyes can sneak into breastmilk, and confess the crunchy conversions of our formerly Red-Bull-vodka husbands—complete with “witch-doctor” pellets and Montessori floor beds. It’s cozy chaos, zero shame, maximum laughs.

Entrepreneurship and motherhood: the two hardest jobs we’ve ever signed up for. In this episode, we’re getting raw about what it actually looked like to return to work postpartum while exclusively nursing, bringing babies to the office, and juggling business with sleepless nights. We share what worked, what nearly broke us, and why sometimes survival means creating your own rules — whether that’s structuring work blocks around feeding schedules, building makeshift nurseries at the office, or even starting your own co-op. If you’ve ever wondered how moms make it all work (or don’t), this one’s for you.

This week, we spiral from ski trips and Uncrustables to why Banff hotels are suspiciously cheap, and somehow land on the sacred hills we’re willing to die on. Spoiler: straws are canceled, food dyes are evil, and public self-awareness might save your life (or at least your groceries). Between fur coats, ski joring fashion contests, toddler dye-induced possession, and Kyle’s K9 partner Gator scaring sense into grown men, this episode is chaotic in all the right ways. Come for the tangents, stay for the unsolicited life lessons.

Motherhood’s favorite products just entered the roast. Grab your coffee (no straw) and join the chaos.

In episode six, we ditch the small talk and dive headfirst into a hilariously unfiltered game of rating postpartum and baby gear—complete with hot takes, strong opinions, and zero hesitation. From baby moccasins to doorway bouncers, lard-based beauty routines to the perils of straws, nothing is safe from our judgment (or our laughter). It’s equal parts chaos, camaraderie, and crunchy mom energy—the perfect mix of wit, honesty, and slightly unhinged storytelling that makes Functionally Feral feel like your favorite late-night chat with friends who aren’t afraid to say exactly what they think.

In this unfiltered episode, we dive into Natalie's recollection of her home birth experience. From the unexpected twists and turns, the instincts, and the sacred (and sometimes hilarious) chaos of bringing babies earthside, we’re sharing raw reflections and real talk on birth, postpartum, and what it means to trust your body through it all. Come for the storytelling, stay for the crunchy mom vibes and candid moments you won’t hear anywhere else.

This week, we’re keeping it cozy and chaotic with a classic catch-up. Felicia spirals into a full-blown coffee identity crisis(is it saving her or betraying her?), while Natalie dives into her son’s latest growth projections. We’re talking pediatricians, Natalie’s lake life, and the wild art of just getting through the week with your sanity mostly intact. As always, raw, real, and functionally feral.

Felicia's Home Birth Story of Giuseppe - Midwives, Yard Sales & Banging on Hospital Doors In this raw and vivid episode, Felicia shares the full story of her pregnancy, birth plan, and the wildly memorable home birth of her son, Giuseppe. From finding her dream midwife to assembling a cord burning kit during early labor, and even a community yard sale the very same day - this episode is anything but ordinary. Felicia walks us through the intensity, the beauty, and the chaos of giving birth at home… and how she ended up pounding on the locked hospital doors in the middle of the night, demanding to be let in. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and a little bit feral - in the best way.
