Let's revisit an episode from 2025!

Alessandra from Vibin' & Kinda Thrivin' is back on the show! Her and Lindsie peel back the layers on modern relationships and parenting, from dating after divorce to the dangers lurking in children's online games. They react to the crazy story of a man who accidentally hires his own wife as a prostitute, and another man who secretly married three women. It truly never ends ladies! Plus, a "bring back bullying" debate, the complexities of mother-son relationships, and their take on "grandparent baby showers" that turned the topic into the psychology of complex family dynamics.

Lindsie welcomes Becky Hayter to the podcast! Becky gets deeply personal about the reality of her first few months as a non-birthing mother, the lack of an immediate bond with her son, and the difficult but intentional process of building their family through IVF and a known donor. Lindsie addresses her two most recent public mishaps: a troll used her photo to attack another influencer, and the very poorly timed "happy ice days" IG stories. Plus, they discuss their biggest adult "icks", possibly going to their 20th Highschool reunion, and Becky explains that scissoring is indeed a sex act that exists.
