In Her Season

Rachel leads a solo episode — and it turns into one of the more honest ones. She's talking through why turning 30 feels like relief instead of dread: steadier finances, clearer values, and a home she's finally decorating with actual personality instead of playing it safe with white walls. She also gets into how she's letting go of needing a spotless house every day, and the exact line she now uses with anyone who seems more interested in her home than in her.

The second half is all relationships. She shares an idea from Dr. John Delony that's stuck with her — that relationships evolve through life events, not as one fixed bond — and walks through the four distinct chapters she and her husband Luke have already lived through in three years of marriage. She gets real about a recent realization: she can go an entire evening without making actual eye contact with her own husband, and what that might mean. She also tells the story of staying "on the same team" with Luke during their daughter's 105-degree fever, instead of competing over who had the right call.

If you're thinking about your own relationship, your own home, or just your own 30s, this one's a good one to sit with.

This week we're talking all things hypnobirthing — and why Rachel is choosing a home birth after already having two hospital births. She walks us through the hypnobirthing course she's taking, why she's so intentional about the language she uses around birth, and how she's working to detach from the fear-based birth stories so many of us grew up hearing.

We reframe contractions as "birthing waves," pain as "pressure," and due dates as "guess dates" — small shifts that Rachel says completely changed her mindset going into labor. She also gets honest about what she's grateful for from her first hospital birth, and why that experience still matters even as she moves toward something different this time.

We also dig into a question every pregnant woman eventually faces: who do you actually want in the room when your baby arrives? Rachel and Liv talk through the pros and cons of inviting loved ones into your birth space, and Rachel shares the very real logistics of planning a home birth with two little ones already at home.

If you're pregnant, curious about hypnobirthing, or just trying to figure out what kind of birth you want, this one's worth a listen.

Rainy 4th of July, a freezing house, and a rodeo-themed baby sprinkle — this episode has it all. We're catching up on where our pregnancies are at right now, starting with the maternity photoshoot planning stress that's currently taking over both our brains. Rachel's photographer sent over creative concept ideas she's excited about, while Liv is stuck trying to convince her husband to get on board with the vision (spoiler: he does not want to frolic in a field).

We also talk about feeling our babies move — Liv is experiencing it for the first time, Rachel's felt hers since 14 weeks this pregnancy, and we share the sweet moment Liv's husband finally felt the baby kick too. Rachel even breaks down how she can get her baby moving just by changing position.

Then we get into something we don't always say out loud: the body dysmorphia that comes with pregnancy weight gain, and why we think this season is when your partner should really be stepping up to take care of you. This one's honest, a little emotional, and very us.

Did you know a hotel can just cancel on you? Not the trip, the actual reservation, and rebook your room to someone else if you're not there by a certain time.
That's what happened to Rachel in Paris. They got in late because of travel delays, and by the time they showed up, the room was already gone. No warning, no heads up, just gone. So there they were, in a foreign city, in the middle of a heatwave, trying to find somewhere to sleep at midnight, and Rachel very pregnant through all of it.
We chat about updates, what it's like being pregnant through a heatwave in a foreign city, and the good kind of chaos too.
We also get into something that's been on both our minds, which is how many of our St. Louis friends are moving away right now, and what that actually does to a friend group once kids are in the picture. It's not something either of us has fully figured out, but we talk through it honestly, including the idea that finding other families with kids the same age can fill that gap, even if it looks different than what you pictured.
And there's a fun one at the end. Rachel has landed on a boy name, even though we still don't know if this baby is a boy or a girl.
This is a life update episode more than anything, so if you've been wanting to catch up with us, this is that.

This week on In Her Season, the girls find themselves together in Florida — a place filled with memories, nostalgia, and reflection.

As they soak in the sunshine, they explore how certain places hold completely different meanings depending on the season of life you're in. For Liv, Florida represents four transformative years of her twenties. For her husband, it's a place tied to family traditions and childhood memories in Destin. Together, they reflect on how some people spend their lives chasing nostalgia while others are constantly searching for something new.

Liv also shares the story behind her gender reveal — an intimate moment shared with her husband in a location that holds deep sentimental meaning for him, making the experience even more special.

The conversation turns to life cycles, personal growth, and the unmistakable feeling that comes before a major life change. Have you ever felt the winds of change? The girls discuss how they've learned to recognize those moments when they know something big is about to shift.

Plus:

•  Why reading a Kindle at the nail salon is apparently a conversation starter 
•  Mahjong's surprising rise and Liv's strategy for making new friends as an adult 
•  Lake house or vacation house? 
•  And a secondhand embarrassment story from the nail salon that had Liv questioning everything 

This episode is all about nostalgia, friendship, new beginnings, and learning to embrace the season you're in — even when you can feel another one just around the corner. 🌊✨💛

What started as a desperate search for a safe lip balm turned into something so much bigger. In this episode, Olivia sits down with Grai — co-founder of Oceanic Organics and one of her first friends in the young mom world — for an honest, ingredient-level conversation about clean living, building a brand from a personal need, and what's actually hiding in your everyday skincare products.

They break down exactly what's in Oceanic Organics' beef tallow moisturizer and all-natural lip balm, talk through the crunchy spectrum (no judgment here), and get into the real stuff — raising kids with food dye restrictions, fragrance sensitivity, and why this generation of moms is paying closer attention than ever.

This week on In Her Season, the girls are embracing a simple truth: sometimes a fresh set of nails is exactly what the doctor ordered. In fact, we firmly believe all nail salons should come equipped with a bar.

From there, the conversation goes exactly where you'd expect (and nowhere you'd predict). We're sharing our hottest food takes, defending Chipotle over Qdoba, discussing why fast-food ice cream hits different, and admitting that pregnancy has completely removed any guilt we once had about indulging in the things we enjoy.

We also get honest about navigating conversations around culture and identity, the importance of staying curious without making assumptions, and the moments when good intentions still leave you putting your foot in your mouth.

As self-proclaimed crunchy girls, we're also confessing our not-so-crunchy vices. Whether it's flavored coffee creamer, salon shampoo, lipstick, or other little luxuries, we're proof that living intentionally doesn't require perfection.

And finally, Liv shares a solution to one of her biggest clean-living frustrations: lip balm. After searching for products she could actually trust, she's partnered with a friend to create all-natural, organic lip balms made with simple ingredients you can feel good about.

It's a little food talk, a little crunchy-girl chaos, and a lot of laughter in this week's episode.

This week on In Her Season, what started as a sweet Mother’s Day treat quickly turned into something much more unsettling when Rachel came home to more than just her babysitter in the house…

The girls unpack the experience and ask the question: what would you do if a strange man came knocking on your door?

Of course, in true In Her Season fashion, the conversation takes a turn into the chaos and comedy of pregnancy — including the very real reality that pregnancy boobs are absolutely their own situation. Being pregnant is a wild ride, and sometimes all you can do is laugh through it.

The girls also dive into everything they’re romanticizing this summer: picnics, flowy white sundresses, feminine fairy energy, prioritizing family time, toes in the sand with a good book, and leaning into adulthood and parenthood in ways that actually feel meaningful.

Plus:

•  Rachel’s travel-filled June 
•  oysters while pregnant… yes or no? 
•  embracing slower, fuller summers 

This episode feels like a mix of cozy summer dreaming, chaotic girl talk, and navigating womanhood in real time 🌸✨📚

From Kindle obsessions and Sarah J. Maas book spirals to the joy of finding your people through “book cults,” Rachel and Liv are talking all things reading, girlhood, and the comfort of getting lost in a good series.

They also take a walk down memory lane and reminisce on the magic of growing up in the 2000s — mall culture, Black Friday shopping, magazines, sleepovers, and all the little things that made girlhood feel so special. Where did you shop? Did your family wake up at insane hours for Black Friday deals? Because same.

Plus, the girls debate what Liv should do for her upcoming 30th birthday and why certain traditions and memories still feel so meaningful as adults.
