Welcome to The Bad Wives Club! We’re Libby & Liz — two best friends bringing our phone conversations straight to your speakers. We talk about the good, the bad, and the real life of marriage and motherhood. We’ve been through it all together for over 15 years—growing up, growing families, and figuring out life one stage at a time. We’re not professionals, just two moms keeping it real and leaving the expert advice to, well… the experts. Tune in weekly to hear all about how we juggle our daily lives as working moms, all while confidently NOT doing it all (*insert husband here*)!

Libby is entering her “I just want to stay in my little family bubble” era. Between the kids, the house, the routines, and just… LIFE, she has officially reached the point where the thought of adding another social plan to the calendar feels absolutely exhausting. We’re talking about that phase of motherhood where you genuinely love your friends, love seeing people, and still somehow want to cancel every single plan and be home in sweatpants by 6 PM. Is it burnout? Is it getting older? Is it motherhood? Or are we simply realizing that sometimes our favorite place to be is home with our people? Plus, we get into the guilt of saying no, feeling like you should be more social, and why protecting your peace might actually be the most social thing you can do right now.

In this episode, we take you through a real day in our lives as two moms with two different looking summer schedules. Libby shares what a typical day looks like as a stay-at-home mom with baby Sonny while her two older boys spend their mornings at camp. From her morning coffee, packing up and out the door, to keeping a baby entertained, managing the house, and getting everyone through the bedtime routine, she gives a behind-the-scenes look at life at home with three boys. Liz shares her perspective as a working mom, balancing work, summer camp schedules, drop-offs, pick-ups, and everything in between. Together, they compare their routines, talk about the differences between being a stay-at-home mom (for the last 2 weeks of maternity leave) and a working mom during the summer. From coffee to camp, work to play, dinner to bedtime—this episode is a full, honest look at what a summer day really looks like for both us! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week we're answering your parenting and mom-life questions, and it's clear Libby is a '90s mom while Liz is our resident "wannabe crunchy" mom. We compare our different parenting styles as we tackle some of your questions. We chat about when kids are ready to play outside without parents, why we think too much time indoors and online can sometimes be more harmful than free play outside, and the age we would let a 6-year-old use a public bathroom alone (which naturally leads to a conversation about moms, dads, and taking opposite-gender kids into public restrooms). We also answer whether it's normal to argue more before family vacations (spoiler: yes!), why the mental load is at an all-time high before a trip, whether we're spending every weekend out or trying to save money, when we transitioned our toddlers into big-kid beds, and our kids' current favorite toys. We wrap things up by talking about Nintendo Switch, screen time, and Liz's experience introducing gaming to her son. Don't forget to follow us, and leave us a five star review!

This week on Bad Wives Club , we're kicking things off with the beauty products we're currently loving before celebrating Liz's upcoming 35th birthday and why we're fully embracing everything our thirties have to offer. Then we dive into all things parenting—from trying different parenting approaches to teaching our kids gratitude and instilling responsibility in our little humans from an early age. We also chat about why so many moms feel disconnected from their husbands during the summer when the kids are home full-time, and remind ourselves that none of us are alone in the chaos of raising little humans.

Summer is here!! This week we're sharing exciting travel plans, including trips to Cape Cod, Italy, and Aruba, while Libby embraces a summer of local adventures with her boys and new baby Sonny. From vacation packing and family travel to finding fun close to home, we’re diving into what summer looks like in this season of motherhood. In the second half of the episode, Libby reflects on soaking up these final weeks as a stay-at-home mom before returning to work in August. She opens up about why this has been her best postpartum experience yet, prioritizing healthy eating, consistent workouts, and taking care of herself so she can show up fully for the chaos, joy, and nonstop adventures that come with raising three boys. Whether you’re jet-setting this summer or staying close to home, this episode is a reminder to enjoy the season you’re in and make the most of the moments that matter.

Welcome back to the Bad Wives Club, Courtney Little! We’re joined again by holistic nutritionist and wellness expert Courtney Little for a candid conversation about one of the hottest topics in health right now: peptides. We break down what peptides are, who they may help, and why they’re not the magic solution social media sometimes makes them out to be. Courtney shares her perspective on metabolic health, sustainable weight loss, GLP-1 medications, and how peptides can be a useful tool, but not the whole toolbox. We also dive into the importance of addressing root causes, building healthy habits, and what people should know before jumping on the latest wellness trend. Whether you’re peptide-curious, considering a GLP-1, or simply looking to better understand your health, this episode is packed with practical information and a refreshing, balanced approach to wellness. We're SO LUCKY that Courtney is sharing her FREE peptides guide with us that you can access here !

This week we’re diving into some hilarious (and surprisingly deep) “Would You Rather?” questions that every mom can relate to. From choosing between spotless houses and stress-free mornings to guaranteed date nights versus solo hotel getaways, we’re sharing our honest answers and the personal stories behind them. We also tackle some tougher questions about our kids’ futures, motherhood, and life’s hardest moments, leading to some unexpected conversations about grief, perspective, and why we’re trying to be more present in the everyday chaos.

We are honored to sit down with Megan Tanna , founder of Little Sparks Project and Amanda Sarkis, board member, about motherhood, resilience, and turning unimaginable challenges into purpose. Megan shares her journey as a mom of three boys and opens up about how the birth of her second son, Brooks, and his diagnosis with Apert Syndrome, a rare genetic condition, changed her family’s life forever. We discuss the emotional and financial realities families face when navigating complex medical diagnoses, what inspired Megan and her husband to create Little Sparks Project, and how the nonprofit is now helping countless families access support during some of their hardest moments. We also dive into how parents can talk to their children about differences with compassion and curiosity, helping raise kinder, more inclusive kids. This conversation is raw, inspiring, educational, and a reminder that even the smallest spark can create meaningful change. Please help us raise awareness for this amazing non-profit by sharing Megan and her families story with your friends and family, and consider donating to The Little Sparks - there's no donation too small to help make a huge difference for a family in need.

She shares: The skincare products she's loving How she manages anxiety Honest advice for first-time moms A really cool story about how she fell in love with reading Navigating challenging seasons in marriage What a day in the life looks like working for Booty by Brabants And what’s currently sitting on her bucket list Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week we’re joined by our good friend Kaitlyn Norwood, life coach, therapist, and walking reminder that sometimes you have to burn it down to build what you actually want. Kaitlyn shares her inspirational story as to what led her to leave her job as a school therapist and take the leap to start her own practice, and the rock-bottom moments that forced her to get honest about what wasn’t working. We talk about what it really means to choose a path that aligns with your values (instead of just surviving the one you’re in). Liz and Kaitlyn get into how to actually communicate with your spouse without it turning into a defensive spiral, why “we need to talk” isn’t always the move, carving out intentional time for your marriage in the chaos of kids + work, and recognizing when you’re disconnected from yourself. Kaitlyn also walks Liz through a real-time emotional processing exercise, helping her identify what she’s actually feeling (not just the surface-level reaction). If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what you actually want, this episode is your sign to pause and reflect!

Today we're joined by Ana, the award-winning baby gear store that actually helps parents figure out what they need and what they don’t when preparing for the arrival of their baby or setting up a baby registry! We had an amazing time visiting Ana's new showroom in Hingham, MA, where Libby was able to test out and have a "hands on" experience with SO many different types of strollers to really get a good feel of what she wanted, where we live in a world of online guessing! Ana helped Libby break down the best stroller + car seat options for life as a mom of three, and we got into how different gear works for first-time moms, city vs. suburb living, twins, and growing families. We also spilled on overrated baby gadgets, true must-haves, and what’s actually worth putting on your registry. Plus, we’re doing a giveaway! Stay tuned on our Instagram for details.
