Sarah and Amanda welcome back “Patricia” (their name for the luteal phase) and reflect on how moods, energy, and perspective shift in cycles. From road rage and parenting moments to the surprising wisdom of “stop paddling,” they explore what it means to let life carry you instead of forcing it. Sarah shares insights from her therapy work on boundaries, healing, and why so many of us are finding inner strength even as the world feels heavy. Together, they remind us that phases pass, growth is constant, and joy is still allowed.

Sarah and Amanda kick off with Lizzo lyrics, a chaotic morning full of cortisol, and some very real talk about partners, parenting, and peace of mind. From the daily grind of “who got the dogs out?” to whether calling your partner “Daddy” is sexy or just confusing, the sisters dig into relationship dynamics, age gaps in dating, generational shifts in emotional intelligence, and the toxic scripts many of us inherited from our parents.

They weave in hilarious tangents about Snapchat streaks, dead phone numbers, Grindr pings at sushi restaurants, and gamified apps—before circling back to what it really means to settle (or refuse to). Expect honesty, laughter, and a few “did they just say that?” moments.

Episode 8 starts lighthearted (coffee, ovulation jokes, even couch crushes , hello) but quickly shifts into something deeper. Sarah grounds us in the heaviness of the world right now, sharing insights from her therapy practice and reminding us to fact-check before we spiral, stay soft in hard times, and keep our eyes on the horizon. From astrology notes to family stories that border on unbelievable, the sisters weave humor and history into conversations about resilience, upbringing, and what it means to stay human when the world feels chaotic.
