Ever felt like social media was reshaping your world, or wondered how the digital age is affecting today's youth? Strap in for a rollercoaster ride through the complex terrain of online culture, where we share the good, the bad, and the ugly of our hyperconnected lives. Motherhood, mental health, and the mirthful mishaps of our family antics – we're unpacking it all with our signature blend of humor and honesty.

With a backdrop of laughter and the occasional eye-roll, we tackle the serious implications of social media on the developing minds and social skills of children and teens. From cyberbullying to self-presentation pressures, we compare our own analog childhoods to the pixelated playgrounds of Generation Z. Stirring in tales from both sides of the screen, we balance our concerns with Jennifer Garner's savvy parenting strategies, and advice on finding professional help that won't lead you down a Google rabbit hole.

This episode isn't just a walk down memory lane; it's a candid exploration of family dynamics in a world where boundaries between virtual and reality blur. We confess our fears, triumphs, and occasional fails as parents in the digital era, aided by tools like Life360, while wrestling with the broader impacts of social media on our kids' physical health. Join us – it's like having coffee with friends who aren't afraid to question whether our hyperconnected world is as rosy as it seems on your feed.

Discovering that our co-host, Bridget, is pregnant brought a wave of emotions and a deeper connection to the profound struggles of infertility. Join us for a candid conversation that traverses the psychological impacts of infertility, where we lay bare the weight of this issue with the same gravity as a cancer diagnosis. We dissect societal stigmas and offer a heart-to-heart on the necessity for empathy in our interactions with those carrying this often invisible burden.

Navigating the murky myths of fertility, we confront the ticking biological clock and dissect the relationship between stress and reproductive health. We breakthrough misconceptions with science-backed insights, share harrowing stories from those on the front lines of age-related fertility decline, and discuss how modern lifestyles are rewriting the fertility narrative. With an unflinching look at the emotional rollercoaster couples face, we also delve into the financial and relational complexities of infertility treatments—because knowing what lies ahead can be half the battle.

We wrap up with tangible preconception strategies aiming to foster fertility. This episode isn't just about unpacking the problem—it's about offering solutions, whether that's managing chronic conditions or timing intimacy for success. We share the importance of lifestyle choices that can make a real difference and arm you with the knowledge to navigate this challenging path. So, let's walk this journey together, fostering understanding, offering support, and shedding light on a topic too critical to remain in the shadows.

Welcome to Psychotic Pu**y! We are so excited to have you all listen. We are super passionate about this podcast and the topics we will be sharing in each episode. 

We are two sisters with a special interest in women’s mental and physical health. We are both in the business of healthcare. We were born and raised in New Jersey at the Jersey Shore. Our parents are funeral directors, and this will come up often throughout the season. Our mother, Geri, is wild. She is an enigma. Her unusual parenting style definitely made us into the women we are today.

We created this podcast to highlight women’s mental and physical health issues. It is not only our hobby, but our careers. We want to shed light on important topics, teach people new things every episode, and do all of this in a whacky way with a little red wine.
