How well do we really know each other? Let's find out! We ask some really fun questions, and not just like "what's your favorite color"? We're getting DEEP and JUICY. What does Liz do that annoys Libby? What's something you judged a woman for in the past? What's something that you believe in that most people don't? What are signs that each of us are spiraling? Is there something you've ever done (or thought of doing) that you didn't tell me because you thought I'd judge you? What day would you relive in your life? Oh and the fun part - if our personalities were a cocktail, what would be in it ?! If you loved this episode, let us know in the comments and leave us a 5 star review!!

Libby survived 10 (or was it 12, 14, or a month?) days without Joe home for the first time ever and we are happy to report that she lives to see another day. The Karen Read trial had an eventful week with the prosecution bringing in "expert" witnesses that did absolutely nothing for them, but we are recapping the bombshells that came out of this past week. Body By Brabants has a lot of exciting new things coming your way, and Liz is here to tell you all about it!Liz made a special discount just for our Bad Wives Club listeners: Use code BWC20 for 20% OFF sitewide at bootybybrabants.com — but hurry, it's valid for first-time customers only!

The pressure of filling your summer calendar with endless trips, camps, and all sorts of plans can be A LOT. As we head into summer, we're talking about our different approach this time around - less f*cks given to what others are doing, less pressure to plan vacations, but more effort made to actually slow down! Although we may not be able to shut off completely with work,we all know how impactful a slow and peaceful morning can be, so why not re-evaluate our busy schedules? We can in fact find a way to incorporate time to enjoy the warm weather during the week days too, to just relax and enjoy our families company in our backyard rather than in a pool in Greece (although that would be nice, too lol) If you loved this episode, please leave us a 5 star review!Follow us on instagram @badwivesclubpodcast and TikTok @badwivesclub

We’re wrapping up our Q&A series with one last listener question—and it’s a good one. This week, we’re talking about what it really looks like to ask your husband for help (without losing your mind in the process). We share how we’ve learned to communicate better in our marriages, why it took us longer than we’d like to admit, and why expecting them to just “know” isn’t always fair.He’s a great guy—but he’s not a mind reader. We talk patience, partnership, and how our expectations have shifted as our husbands have grown into fatherhood. If you’re newly married, a new mom, or just feeling stuck in the cycle of doing it all—this one’s for you. And yes, there are plenty of laughs along the way.If you liked this episode, please leave us a 5 star review! Follow us on Instagram @badwivesclubpodcast and TikTok @badwivesclub
