April 21, 2026 What to do when kids are mean?
Mean comments. Leaving someone out. A group chat that spirals. Every parent dreads the moment their child comes home and says, "nobody played with me today." But knowing how to respond — without overreacting, underreacting, or accidentally making things worse — is genuinely hard.
In this episode, we break down the real difference between bullying and kids just being mean (and why that distinction changes everything about what you do next), when to step in as a parent versus when to let your child work it out, and how to give kids the actual skills to handle social friction on their own. We're also talking about body language and confidence cues that kids send without realizing it, what to do when the mom group chat goes sideways, and how to protect your child's self-worth through all of it.
Because the goal isn't to shield your kid from every hard social moment — it's to raise one who knows how to handle them.
Tech Tip: Unsubscribe from old stuff in emails, consume less news before you are ready!

April 14, 2026We Tink, We Tink: A Chaotic April Smorgasbord
Kate's highs, Anne's lows, Maura's roses, and one very suspicious Frye Fest in a Barbie Dream Tent. This week we're covering everything from Survivor blindsides to Summer House drama, debating whether eating lemon water slowly makes you European, and asking the hard questions about one-sided monogamy. Buckle up — it's a lot, but at least everything's not awful.

This week we are getting real about finding ease and joy in the stage of life that is honestly a lot. Parenting, work, friendships, marriage, and everything in between — we are sharing what is actually working, what we are letting go of, and how we are learning to hold it all a little looser. No perfect answers, just honest conversation from two sisters who are figuring it out in real time. Come sit with us.

March 31, 2026We Asked a Dermatologist So You Don't Have To
We brought in Dr. Lori Sanford, board certified dermatologist, because aging gracefully sounds great but we also have questions. Lots of them. What actually works, what is overhyped, how do you start with injectables without looking like a completely different person, and what does a real skincare routine look like for a busy mom in her 40s. Dr. Sanford gives us the real talk on what to do at home, what is worth spending money on, what perimenopause does to your skin that nobody warns you about, and the one thing every woman in her 40s should be doing right now. Never hurts to ask the experts so you don't have to figure it out alone. This one is for every mom who wants to look and feel great and has absolutely no time for nonsense.

Tech tip: Turn off short in YouTube and avoid any platform with Shorts/doom scrolling.

A new global study tied to the World Happiness Report 2026 once again ties popular social media like Instagram and TikTok to poorer mental health outcomes, especially with younger people. The report finds that these platforms, which are driven by algorithmic feeds and influencer content, tend to have a more negative impact on mental wellbeing compared to apps focused on communication.

March 24, 2026The Sister Roast We Have Been Building to Our Whole Lives
Forty something years of sisterhood and this episode is what it was all leading to. We finish each other's sentences and the accuracy is both impressive and slightly alarming. Cheese. Tsunamis. Overbooking. Interior design control issues. Comfy shoes. And one superpower that actually made us emotional for a second before we got back to roasting each other. This is the most fun we have had recording and we think you will feel it.

March 17, 2026Pub Crawls, Puke and Rally, and Hundreds of Strangers at a Funeral
We had the kind of week that started with Pebble Beach and ended with allergies and regret and we are not mad about it. Spring break chaos, parents in town, kid sports, and the hangover that shall not be named. Plus Oscars fashion opinions nobody asked for but we are giving anyway, where tween culture actually went, a parenting tech fail that will make you feel better about yours, and the most beautiful funeral story we have ever heard. Also obsessions that are genuinely worth your time and a spicy cucumber rice recipe that broke the internet for good reason. Come hang with us.

This week we're talking about health and aging—and how we're finally taking control of our own wellness in our 40s. From D2C concierge health services like Ways to Well (bloodwork panels, AI-powered insights, hormone testing) to advocating for yourself beyond basic cholesterol checks, we're diving into what it actually takes to feel good as we age. We're also talking maintenance: stretching, foot pain, the shoes that are saving us (New Balance, HOKA, Oofos), and why rolling our feet on lacrosse balls is now part of life. Plus, how we're using AI for good—meal planning, recipes, and gut health support.
