We're Back, Mama's!

On this episode, Sonia and Jessica share life updates, why they disappeared for a bit and honestly needed the break, a chaotic unexpectedly long drive home from Logan Airport with major GPS betrayal energy, moving into a new apartment and adjusting to a whole new normal, potty training wins, fails, and absolutely unhinged toddler moments, Annabelle’s dance recital experience (including emotional mom moments and hilarious tap dance chaos), thoughts on homeschooling and preschool activities, plus what’s next for ‘Geriatric’ Mamas—including getting back into a regular rhythm and finally bringing guests onto the podcast. It’s funny, emotional, slightly unhinged, and very “are we okay?” energy.

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.
