A Little Less Social, A Little More Us | 112

We kick things off by sharing our thoughts on the Lindsay Clancy trial and the latest developments before diving into a much more personal conversation. Libby is heading back to work after six months of maternity leave, and we’re talking honestly about the mix of emotions that comes with it—the excitement, the guilt, the anxiety, and the bittersweet reality of leaving your baby for the first time. We also chat about the new schedules, routines, and balancing act our families are about to settle into as this new chapter begins. To wrap things up, we obsess over Netflix’s I Will Find You - WATCH IT! If you’re looking to make eating healthier a whole lot easier, our friends at Nutre Meals have you covered.

Libby is entering her “I just want to stay in my little family bubble” era. Between the kids, the house, the routines, and just… LIFE, she has officially reached the point where the thought of adding another social plan to the calendar feels absolutely exhausting. We’re talking about that phase of motherhood where you genuinely love your friends, love seeing people, and still somehow want to cancel every single plan and be home in sweatpants by 6 PM. Is it burnout? Is it getting older? Is it motherhood? Or are we simply realizing that sometimes our favorite place to be is home with our people? Plus, we get into the guilt of saying no, feeling like you should be more social, and why protecting your peace might actually be the most social thing you can do right now.

In this episode, we take you through a real day in our lives as two moms with two different looking summer schedules. Libby shares what a typical day looks like as a stay-at-home mom with baby Sonny while her two older boys spend their mornings at camp. From her morning coffee, packing up and out the door, to keeping a baby entertained, managing the house, and getting everyone through the bedtime routine, she gives a behind-the-scenes look at life at home with three boys. Liz shares her perspective as a working mom, balancing work, summer camp schedules, drop-offs, pick-ups, and everything in between. Together, they compare their routines, talk about the differences between being a stay-at-home mom (for the last 2 weeks of maternity leave) and a working mom during the summer. From coffee to camp, work to play, dinner to bedtime—this episode is a full, honest look at what a summer day really looks like for both us! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week we're answering your parenting and mom-life questions, and it's clear Libby is a '90s mom while Liz is our resident "wannabe crunchy" mom. We compare our different parenting styles as we tackle some of your questions. We chat about when kids are ready to play outside without parents, why we think too much time indoors and online can sometimes be more harmful than free play outside, and the age we would let a 6-year-old use a public bathroom alone (which naturally leads to a conversation about moms, dads, and taking opposite-gender kids into public restrooms). We also answer whether it's normal to argue more before family vacations (spoiler: yes!), why the mental load is at an all-time high before a trip, whether we're spending every weekend out or trying to save money, when we transitioned our toddlers into big-kid beds, and our kids' current favorite toys. We wrap things up by talking about Nintendo Switch, screen time, and Liz's experience introducing gaming to her son. Don't forget to follow us, and leave us a five star review!

This week on Bad Wives Club, we're kicking things off with the beauty products we're currently loving before celebrating Liz's upcoming 35th birthday and why we're fully embracing everything our thirties have to offer. Then we dive into all things parenting—from trying different parenting approaches to teaching our kids gratitude and instilling responsibility in our little humans from an early age. We also chat about why so many moms feel disconnected from their husbands during the summer when the kids are home full-time, and remind ourselves that none of us are alone in the chaos of raising little humans. If you enjoy the episode, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and follow along for more real conversations about motherhood, marriage, and everything in between.

Summer is here!! This week we're sharing exciting travel plans, including trips to Cape Cod, Italy, and Aruba, while Libby embraces a summer of local adventures with her boys and new baby Sonny. From vacation packing and family travel to finding fun close to home, we’re diving into what summer looks like in this season of motherhood. In the second half of the episode, Libby reflects on soaking up these final weeks as a stay-at-home mom before returning to work in August. She opens up about why this has been her best postpartum experience yet, prioritizing healthy eating, consistent workouts, and taking care of herself so she can show up fully for the chaos, joy, and nonstop adventures that come with raising three boys. Whether you’re jet-setting this summer or staying close to home, this episode is a reminder to enjoy the season you’re in and make the most of the moments that matter.

Welcome back to the Bad Wives Club, Courtney Little! We’re joined again by holistic nutritionist and wellness expert Courtney Little for a candid conversation about one of the hottest topics in health right now: peptides. We break down what peptides are, who they may help, and why they’re not the magic solution social media sometimes makes them out to be. Courtney shares her perspective on metabolic health, sustainable weight loss, GLP-1 medications, and how peptides can be a useful tool, but not the whole toolbox. We also dive into the importance of addressing root causes, building healthy habits, and what people should know before jumping on the latest wellness trend. Whether you’re peptide-curious, considering a GLP-1, or simply looking to better understand your health, this episode is packed with practical information and a refreshing, balanced approach to wellness. We're SO LUCKY that Courtney is sharing her FREE peptides guide with us that you can access here! If this leaves you wanting even more information, you can check out her course strictly on peptides to learn more.

This week we’re diving into some hilarious (and surprisingly deep) “Would You Rather?” questions that every mom can relate to. From choosing between spotless houses and stress-free mornings to guaranteed date nights versus solo hotel getaways, we’re sharing our honest answers and the personal stories behind them. We also tackle some tougher questions about our kids’ futures, motherhood, and life’s hardest moments, leading to some unexpected conversations about grief, perspective, and why we’re trying to be more present in the everyday chaos.

We are honored to sit down with Megan Tanna, founder of Little Sparks Project and Amanda Sarkis, board member, about motherhood, resilience, and turning unimaginable challenges into purpose. Megan shares her journey as a mom of three boys and opens up about how the birth of her second son, Brooks, and his diagnosis with Apert Syndrome, a rare genetic condition, changed her family’s life forever. We discuss the emotional and financial realities families face when navigating complex medical diagnoses, what inspired Megan and her husband to create Little Sparks Project, and how the nonprofit is now helping countless families access support during some of their hardest moments. We also dive into how parents can talk to their children about differences with compassion and curiosity, helping raise kinder, more inclusive kids. This conversation is raw, inspiring, educational, and a reminder that even the smallest spark can create meaningful change. Please help us raise awareness for this amazing non-profit by sharing Megan and her families story with your friends and family, and consider donating to The Little Sparks - there's no donation too small to help make a huge difference for a family in need.

Welcome to MAYCEMBER — the month where every calendar square somehow has 14 events on it. This week we are recapping Mother’s Day, surviving the absolute chaos of end-of-school season, juggling sports schedules, party planning, field days, etc. We also are venting about the recent mental breakdowns we’ve had with our kids, why Liz may officially need therapy after this month, and the pressure moms put on themselves to do everything for everyone. Most importantly, we’re entering our “say no more” era — setting boundaries, asking for help, and realizing we actually can’t carry it all.But in all this chaos, we are celebrating the arrival of Liz’s sweet baby nephew, Troy! We end the episode by giving gratitude to all the amazing things going on in our lives. If you’re drowning in May madness too, this episode is for you.
