Is it a full moon? Is Mercury in retrograde? It’s been one thing after another for Steph and Rach, each in their own way! For Steph, it’s been a professional rebirth since October. Things were good and steady—until she followed her gut. Suddenly, the constants in her life began unraveling. For Rach, it’s been a buildup of little things—different from Steph’s experience, but just as exhausting. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of sick kids, random illnesses, and full-body hives. But guess what? We’re getting through it with a laugh and a f***ing smile—because we have no choice! All of this got us thinking about women’s roles at home—because let’s be real, we are always the closers. Always. And if you’re in a relationship where Dad is in charge, is it ever really going to be to your liking?

Let’s discuss on this week’s episode of MILF-ish.

Misery loves company, we all know the saying. There’s comfort in commiserating, but lately, we can’t stop noticing the endless echo chamber of women complaining about perimenopause… and it’s driving us nuts. We can’t be the only ones—men and women alike—who look and feel better in our 40s than we did in our 20s. So, we’re breaking down why that is—and why we think this whole perimenopause thing might just be a crock. Plus, a ridiculous story about promoting the podcast, getting invited to a sexy restaurant, and Stephie choking on steak. (She’s fine, but… it was a whole thing.)

Rach and Steph took a trip to Miami, where they tried wake surfing, had many cocktails by the pool, and made new friends. Since they don't like conversations about kids (the friends were all married) they got caught up in story about a scandal blowing up in their community: women booking private trainers, only to discover the sessions were sex sessions. Of course, they couldn't get enough and the questions kept coming. In this episode, Rach and Steph dive into the conversation—what’s really going on behind closed doors in married life? Is sex everything we expect it to be, or are many women craving attention and seeking out risky, borderline dangerous encounters? It's a conversation we’re all itching to have, and we're bringing it to the table this week.

After Rach sat down with Steph to discuss carving out time for a night out—free from kids, responsibilities, and curfews—she’s been on a roll. Ladies' nights, dinners with old friends, and even running around town promoting the podcast together. This led them to reflect on those epic nights they've had and how, as Moms, sometimes all you really need to make things happen is a calm, clear conversation with your partner. It’s not always easy, and they’re definitely not perfect at it, but in this case, it worked. We may just have found a way to get them to do the sh*t we want!

There’s no perfect answer, but Rach and Steph are diving headfirst into the great cellphone debate for kids. With both of their daughters at 10 years old, they’ve taken completely different approaches—Steph is staying cellphone celibate (for now), navigating tough conversations as her daughter remains one of the few without one, while Rach, wanting to avoid her daughter feeling left out, gave in—only to face serious trouble within the first month. It’s a vicious cycle every parent wrestles with… or maybe, just maybe, we all just need to grow a set!

Both Rach and Steph have been married for about 14 years, but they were in very different places when they met their husbands. Steph was a news reporter chasing her Emmy Award, living in L.A. for a six-month stint when she met Dave outside a comedy club on Sunset Blvd. Rach was living in the city, partying, and ready to settle down, so she naturally signed up for J-Date (IYKYK) and started serial dating. No matter what people say, committing to someone for life and then looking back at how it all came together is insane. How are we surviving!? This week, we break it all down and dive into our MILF beginnings.

Is it us? Seriously, we want to know! Rach and Steph take a step back this week and unpack all the crazy shit that’s happened lately—from firing a babysitter who refused to park and pick up Steph’s daughter because she had to walk too far, to lifelong friends suddenly deciding the friendship is over. We're diving into it all and not holding back!

It's the WTF moment of all time! Rach is searching for her a new aesthetic routine in Florida, only to find herself encountering a series of mediocre to borderline gross —culminating in the ultimate beauty service horror story! Meanwhile, Steph unpacks her frustration with suburbia, from the monotony of Saturday night dinners to the rinse-and-repeat conversations that come with them.

Are 'girls trips' and 'chill' mutually exclusive? Rach and Steph talk about what they do to line up a girls trips, preferences on body count and agreement on booze over food, always. Plus, the fryer festival moment that forced them to buy their way to off a private island to get back to the resort day party.

Launching something new is never easy—especially when the word 'MILF' is in the title. Today, Steph and Rach break down the backlash they faced when colleagues discovered the show name and why Steph is really fed up with the double standards. Is sexuality only acceptable when it’s profitable? Who gets to decide what’s appropriate, and why does ‘the man’ always call the shots?
