BackStabbers Podcast

In this week’s episode, we’re all asking the real question: Alex has other friends?? Say whattt. 😂🤨 We spiral (naturally) into the chaos of adulthood friendships, the book series Alex has absolutely DEVOURRRRED 📚🔥 that Lacey + Sarah refuse to emotionally commit to 🙅‍♀️😅, and a very serious sleep score competition because apparently we’re athletes now 💤🏆. Also: whose kids threw a 3am party?! 🎉🕒 (Spoiler: nobody won.) And we officially agree that the Lord better be with us when these kids are teenagers 🙏😵‍💫. Then we wrap it up with the ultimate debate: girl moms vs boy moms — same circus, different clowns 🤡💅⚽️. Listen now for laughs, sleep-deprived truth, and the kind of mom chaos that makes you feel seen. 🎧🤣💛

Sports Momzzz is for the CRNA moms who go from airway ➝ away game without blinking 😅🏥➡️🏟️ We’re spilling sideline chaos like: who grabbed the wrong kid’s gear 🎒🙃 and turned “30 minutes early” into late ⏰💨 Plus, we’re handing out superlatives 🏆: who’s most likely to start the next cheer 📣💃, who almost got a red card as a fan 🟥😳, and who’s most likely to get escorted out 🚔💅 These moms keep it fun and spicy in and out of the OR—and on and off the court 🏀🔥😂

Snowstorm survival? Check. Falling in the snow? Also check. ❄️😂 Lacey confesses the cheap hair care is actually amazing 💁‍♀️🫢 We hit mammograms (go book it 👀🩷), epidurals + blood patches 💉, Sarah’s unhinged banana pepper diet 🌶️🍌, someone confesses to a MAC check fail 😳✅❌, and a whole lot more chaos from your favorite CRNA moms 🤪👩‍⚕️👩‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Apparently anesthesia has a whole new set of rulezzz… and nobody asked us 😅📋 In this episode, we’re talking about the “new rules” of the OR—starting with robotic intubations (say it isn’t so 🤖😳). Are we actually making things better, or just adding another thing to troubleshoot while someone’s desatting? Asking for a friend 🙃   Then we get into the unwritten rules of being a female in medicine: be confident but not too confident, speak up but don’t be “difficult,” and somehow work twice as hard to get half the credit 😵‍💫🩺   And let’s be real—the biggest rule that needs to be official: fair pay. Equal work should mean equal pay. Period. 💅🏽💸   Come hang for laughs, real talk, and a little rule-breaking energy—because if the robots are coming for our airway, we’re at least rewriting the rulebook. 🤖✨

Holiday chaos? Same. 🎄😵‍💫 We’re talking surviving the season, keeping our sanity, and thriving in a male world… because let’s be real—we’re running it. 💅🔥 Plus: all the skincare we’re OBSESSING over right now—what’s working, what’s worth it, and what’s keeping us glowing through the madness. ✨🫧💦 Hit play if you need laughs, real talk, and a little holiday survival + self-care inspo. 🎧❤️

This week we're talking about MOVEMENT... or lack thereof! 🗿 We compare Alex (human statue 🧘‍♀️) to Sarah (can't sit still for 2 seconds 🐿️).  Naturally, we volunteer Alex for a marathon 🏅 so we can justify another girls trip 🍹✈️ (you're welcome, Alex!).   Then our squirrel brains 🐿️🧠 take over and we bounce through a million anesthesia topics faster than you can say "sux and roc" 💉⚡ Because staying on topic? We don't know her. 💁‍♀️   Grab your coffee ☕ and join us for another chaotic ride through CRNA mom life! #BackStabbers #CRNAMoms #Movementzzz #SquirrelBehavior #GirlsTrip

Grab your favorite snack and settle in, because the BackStabbers are BACK and we have SO much to catch up on! 🍿🎃 This week, we're celebrating a very special (and hilariously short-lived) moment: **Sarah is officially the same age as Lacey!** 🎂🎉 That's right, for exactly TWO glorious months, these CRNA queens are aging in perfect harmony before Lacey rudely gets older again. We're talking about what it means to hit this milestone and whether we're aging gracefully or just... aging with a LOT of skincare products. 💅✨ Plus, we cover a million other random topics because it's been WAY too long since we've recorded together. Expect laughs, tangents, and probably some questionable medical advice (just kidding... or are we? 😏). --- ## What You'll Hear: 🎂 The sacred two-month window where Sarah = Lacey in age   👻 Sarah's family Halloween costume reveal (husband MVP alert!)   💆‍♀️ Aging gracefully vs. Botox, fillers, and everything in between   🛒 Lacey's latest product obsession (or disappointment)   ☕ ALL the catch-up convos we've been dying to have   😂 Laughs, chaos, and probably some anesthesia jokes thrown in  **Press play and let's catch up like the old friends we are!** 💕🎧 #BackStabbersPodcast #CRNAMoms #AgingGracefully #HalloweenCostumes #ProductReview #PodcastLife #MomLife #HealthcareHumor #BirthdayTwins #CatchUpSesh
