Who knew that the life of a Showgirl included wiping butts, cleaning out throw-up buckets and scooping poop from the bathtub? NOT THIS GIRL. Sarah spends the week solo parenting two sick kids, contemplates the exploitation of mothers by the patriarchy and tries to hold it together long enough to hear the new Taylor Swift Album. It's a wild ride, buckle up!

We've got not one, but two fabulous guests today, Tori Dietz and Tayla Burke, the hilarious duo behind the motherhood podcast Did We Just Become MILFS!

This episode feels like grabbing lunch (and a couple of mimosas) with your mom friends. The walls come down and the conversation gets real. We’re talking mom-shaming, the hacks currently saving our sanity, and how to keep that MILF energy alive… even on the days when you’d rather just dress like Adam Sandler 😂

It’s fun, candid, and packed with those honest mom moments we all need more of. PLUS we’re doing a podcast swap this week! So make sure to check out our episode on the Did We Just Become MILFS podcast too!

It's Sarah's birthday this week and she's celebrating with a positively chaotic YAP FEST for your listening pleasure! We discuss whatever TF the birthday girl wants, including Taylor Swift, the Orgy Tent at Burning Man (RIP), Fall, and so much more. We also tap into the VIRGO SZN energy and discuss some life lessons from this past year, being a recovering Girl Boss and why we should all spread a little more positivity right now.

This week on Bottle Service, we’re joined by the amazing Katie Beach — mom of 2 (soon to be 3!), content creator, and one of the brightest lights in the motherhood space. If you follow Katie on Instagram or TikTok, you already know her for her refreshingly real yet positive take on mom life... which, let’s be honest, is the content we all need more of!

In this episode we cover SO MUCH— from navigating the “roommate stage” with your partner, to embracing life as a Type C mom. Going for baby #3, building "the village", being in the “dead parents club,” and of course, a few of the countless parenting hacks she’s become known for.

For anyone else DEEP in the motherhood trenches, this episode is for you!

Now WAIT—I know what you’re thinking… finance is probably your least favorite “F” word too. But when it comes to family planning and fertility treatments, it’s an important piece of the puzzle.

We’ve talked about the emotional side of fertility struggles and IVF on the show before, but today we’re pulling back the curtain on the financial reality. Because let’s be honest—things like IVF, egg freezing, and other treatments can be really expensive. And to make matters more complicated, insurance doesn’t always cover them. So what are we supposed to do?

This week, Claire Tomkins, CEO & Founder of Future Family (and mom of three via IVF) joins the show. After six rounds of IVF (and over $100K) to conceive her first child, she became passionate about making fertility care more accessible and founded Future Family to help others navigate the process.

In this episode, we cover:
✨ The real costs behind IVF, egg freezing, and other common fertility treatments
✨ Creative ways to make treatments more financially manageable
✨ The role of insurance and what to look out for in your benefits
✨ Claire’s personal advice for anyone thinking about or currently going through the process

If you or someone you love is exploring fertility treatments, this episode is a must-listen!
