Just 22 hours after Cal's mom passed away, we found ourselves surrounded by family during a wake unlike anything we'd ever experienced. People flew in from all over the country, and what unfolded was one of the most beautiful displays of humanity we've ever witnessed.

This episode is about the strange, sacred space that exists the day after loss - where tears and laughter somehow live side by side. We talk about the healing that comes from being together, sharing stories, crying openly, and allowing every emotion to have a seat at the table.

One of the most powerful parts of the conversation was watching the men in our family fully embrace their emotions instead of hiding them. There was no pretending to be strong - just honest grief, deep love, and a willingness to feel it all.

We're also joined by Aunt Shauna, Cal's mom's sister and best friend. Seeing her sitting across from us - looking so much like Jana - made this conversation even more special. Together, we reflect on love, loss, family, and what it means to carry someone forward after they're gone.

If you've ever wondered what grief really looks like, this episode is it. Messy. Beautiful. Heartbreaking. Hopeful. And incredibly human.

A quick note before you listen: In the middle of the emotional tornado surrounding thepassing, we sat down to record completely disheveled and forgot to plug in our microphones. 🤦🏼‍♀️ The audio isn't up to our normal standards, but after listening back, we knew this conversation was too meaningful not to share. Thank you for giving us a little grace - we promise the message is worth it.

Boobs. We've all got a story. 😂

From training bras and awkward teenage years to breastfeeding babies (or trying to!), body changes, surgery, and eventually reaching the point where you just don't care anymore—we're talking about every stage of the boob journey.

Caley shares what it was like breastfeeding all four kids, while Megs admits nursing wasn't exactly a natural talent. We laugh about the insecurities, the surprises, and the reality that every woman has a different experience.

It's honest, ridiculous, and proof that no topic is off limits around here.

🎙️ Come laugh with us... because if you can't laugh about boobs, what can you laugh about?

The day after surgery probably wasn’t the best time to hit record… which is exactly why we did it. 😂

In this episode, Caley is fresh out of surgery, still feeling the effects of the anesthesia and pain medication, and let’s just say… the conversation moves at a slightly slower pace than usual. Between the laughs, though, are some very real moments.

We talk about what this surgery felt like compared to previous ones in Caley’s cancer journey. Instead of the excitement that came with hearing “cancer-free,” this recovery brought more pain, more emotion, and a heavier heart as she supported her mom through her cancer journey. Sometimes healing isn’t just physical—it’s wrapped up in everything else life is asking you to carry. And some can feel the pain from one hospital to another.

It’s a raw, unfiltered snapshot of a moment we almost didn’t record… and we’re glad we did.

🎙️ Warning: Side effects of this episode may include laughing at drug-induced conversations and unexpectedly feeling all the feelings.
