December 06, 2021 Encore: The Last Ever Struggling Sisters Episode
Have you ever discovered things you wish you hadn't via the dreaded parent portal? Em has been there. Katie brought some show suggestions that aren't for the faint of heart and shed some tears.

October 25, 2021ENCORE: Problem Solved: Halloween
We are coming back with interviews again, every other Monday beginning in the New Year. As we ramp up on fresh interviews, we are rebroadcasting listener favorites.

In this encore episode, I discovered something I liked on Instagram and Rebecca let me know it's been around for ages. We talked about whether or not we feel like devil raves are good events for our children to attend. I insulted dresses she likes on accident and she took a firm stand against people trying to bully her into taking an oily journey.
