This week Sonia and Jess start with a very important discussion about luteal-phase personalities, accidentally discovering the secret to good hair, and a grocery-store experience so upsetting it nearly ended Taco Tuesday. Sonia introduces Annabelle to the sacred Maine tradition of buying your first L.L.Bean backpack for school, and the girls would like everyone from outside of Maine to understand that, yes, technically other backpack brands exist. No, that information changes nothing. Then they talk about why asking a woman whether she plans to have another baby can be a wildly loaded question, especially when you have no idea what happened behind the scenes to get her the child she already has. They also share some very exciting 'Geriatric' Mamas news and dive into Lo Bosworth’s fertility journey, from freezing her eggs in her 30s to endometriosis, IVF and eventually becoming a mom. And because no episode can remain on topic for too long, there’s also Taco Tuesday, a highly classified guacamole recipe, Sonia’s late mom still finding ways to make her presence known, and the story of how Jess and Sonia became friends.

🍋 Sati Soda’s lemon-lime blend is one of those things that just makes our routine feel more elevated without trying too hard. It has this really calming, clear energy from the CBD and adaptogens like lion’s mane and ashwagandha, so we feel relaxed but still present.

🤍 A space for women fully in it—IVF, pregnancy after loss, high-anxiety pregnancies—the emotional roller coaster no one warned us about. It’s everything the “just relax” crowd doesn’t understand.

🧳 The packing cubes that make life feel curated and calm—with everything tucked into its spot, we’re actually able to see what we packed, and suddenly the whole day vibes… a touch more peaceful and under control.

🌿 We’ve been using these and the difference in our face and ankle swelling is actually noticeable. It’s this blend of herbal ingredients that supports lymphatic drainage and helps your body move things along (which, honestly, we all need), and somehow it just works.

🍷 When we wanted something to take the edge off without drinking—whether it was preconception, during any trimester, or honestly through this whole motherhood journey—we’ve reached for a calmer, cleaner option. This tincture was the one that worked.

🍊 Feeling bloated and just... off lately? Same. This is one of those tiny daily things that actually makes a difference—just a few drops and you feel like you’re at least trying to have your life together. We use it, our kids use it, and it’s officially part of the routine.

👖 Fertility hormones and bloating are literally the worst—getting dressed some days feels like your own body is sabotaging your vibe. So here’s our comfort-first guide to what actually feels good during fertility treatments—because if you’re already injecting hormones, the absolute bare minimum is pants that aren’t emotionally aggressive.
