There's some reallllly good tips in here today!In this episode, we talk about:What a realistic day of eating looks like for each of us, including our meal prep staples, easy lunch bases, and post-workout snacksWhat actually helps when we're PMSingHealth habits we each do that the other sisters don’tWhat we’ve changed our minds about since starting Balanced BeyarsThings we swore we’d never do until we became momsThe wellness pressure we don’t want to follow, what gives us the ick, and what we’re still figuring outPlus our Halloween thoughts, and the tooth fairy mishap you need to hear about This episode is brought to you by:💛 Rüted Formulas, the clean, science-backed supplements from our friends Kelsie & Nick, a husband-and-wife-owned small business.

Grab a coffee (or a saffron latte, you’ll see) because this one’s a full-on catch-up with the sisters. We get into the burnout wake-up call that finally made Carly put her foot down, why your childhood hobby might be the answer to “I don’t have an outlet,” and the weird little foot-cricketing trick that’s apparently great for your nervous system. Then we’re talking HTMA mineral testing, the saffron obsession (not an ad, we just love it), locking in healthy habits before the holidays instead of waiting for January 1st, and where we’re at with breastfeeding and weaning. Plus a Billy-at-the-bar story you have to hear.💛 This episode is brought to you by:Moves App by Madeline Moves, the strength training app we’ve used through every phase of womanhood.

If you’ve ever thought about coming off the pill and then just... didn’t, this episode is for you. There are four fears we hear in our DMs constantly, and every one of them can keep you stuck on birth control way longer than you actually want to be on it.We’ve been in your shoes. So we’re naming all four, and telling you honestly why none of them should be the reason you stay. Plus a few things nobody told us 10 years ago, a metaphor we can’t stop thinking about, and what to do instead of coming off cold turkey.This is a judgment-free zone. We’re not anti-birth control. We’re pro informed consent, and this is about making sure fear isn’t the only reason you’re still on it.This episode is brought to you by:💛 Full Feedings, the gentle, no-cry-it-out baby and toddler sleep program built on The Full Feedings Method®.

What the FAHK is a spirit baby?! 😂👶🏼✨ The idea of a “spirit baby” comes from the spiritual belief that the soul of a future child may connect with you before conception — through dreams, a felt presence, synchronicities, repeated numbers, names, animals, songs or signs that feel WAY too specific to ignore.And whether you fully believe in spirit babies, are spiritually curious, or are currently thinking, “Okay sisters, you’ve officially lost me…” 😂 this episode is a FUN one. Because all three of us have stories!!!!!A little sisterly disclaimer: Spirit babies are a spiritual belief, not something that has been scientifically proven. We’re sharing our personal experiences and what they’ve meant to us, not claiming that a dream, number, animal or synchronicity is objective proof that a future child is communicating with you. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and enjoy getting a little woo-woo with us. ✨This episode is brought to you by 💪 MOVES APP— the strength training app we actually use for our own workouts. Every week, your workouts are already planned for you with progressive strength training, easy exercise swaps when you need them, and options for home, the gym or travel.

In this episode, we’re chatting through the things we’re actually buying (and gifting!) this year — from cozy home finds and kitchen upgrades to clean beauty faves, quirky gadgets, and the nostalgic holiday vibes we’re all craving.
