“I Fell Out of a Porta Potty”... and Other Completely Normal Mom Things

This week on ‘Geriatric’ Mamas, Sonia and Jessica are back with one of those conversations that starts with a porta potty disaster and somehow ends with true crime, unsolicited Instagram DMs, beach bacteria, questionable daycare decisions, and the universal realization that adulthood is honestly just one long series of plot twists. Sonia shares the story of accidentally falling out of a porta potty at a church moms' meetup (yes, really), while Jessica dives into the bizarre reality of reopening her Instagram after divorce and discovering that apparently unsolicited anatomy photos are still considered a conversation starter. The moms also unpack the latest updates in the shocking Taylor Parker case, discuss the controversy surrounding melatonin patches reportedly being used in daycare settings without parental consent, debate whether Maine's beaches are secretly plotting against summer, and swap stories about parenting toddlers, family vacations, playground fails, and the moments that make you wonder how any of us are successfully keeping tiny humans alive.

Thanks for listening, and we’re so glad to be back! What we're reaching for: 🍋  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.
