It’s our bi-annual (fall) goal check-in — where we get real about how those big personal and business goals are actually going. Spoiler: some wins, some detours, and a healthy dose of chaos.
We’re catching up on the highs, lows, and hot topics of the week — from vertigo and speeding tickets to PTO drama and a shared book fair meltdown. Because progress isn’t always pretty, but it’s definitely entertaining.
Grab your coffee (or wine) and laugh along as we reflect, reset, and remind ourselves that surviving fall is an accomplishment all on its own.

Sage Haven: Safer Messaging App for Kids
This week’s episode is a true October Smorgasbord; equal parts mom life, tech talk, and random obsessions.
Anne’s highs include kids conquering rollercoasters (and surviving a few ride mishaps herself), plus her latest Amazon obsession: a velvet comforter set that’s giving cozy fall vibes. Kate’s catching up after a Vegas trip, a family visit, and the mystery that is “tainted love.”
We’re chatting football close calls, Taylor Swift and parenting, and Anne’s new fascination with van life and ostrich travel pillows. Then we dive into big headlines, from Australia’s social media age ban to New York City suing Big Tech for creating a youth mental health crisis.
Plus, this week’s Tech Tip: how to empower kids through bystander training for bullying because speaking up matters.
It’s a wild ride (pun intended), but that’s mom life and we’re here for all of it. 🎢💚

Sage Haven: Safer Messaging App for Kids
This week, we’re getting real about marriage, kids, and everything in between. How do you keep the spark alive when you’re also trying to raise tiny humans? How do you balance being parents and partners? And what does it look like to prioritize your relationship when your spouse is the one who will be with you long after the kids grow up and move out?
We’re sharing our own stories, the wins (and fails), and the funny little ways we try to stay connected through the chaos. Because marriage after kids is hard — but it’s also worth the laughs, the effort, and the late-night ice cream dates.

We’re bringing back one of our most-loved episodes from the first half of the year because it’s just that good (and just that real). In this re-drop, Kate and Anne dive into why it’s so dang hard for moms to have hobbies and why we desperately need them.
Is self-care a hobby? Does watching Bravo count? Why does guilt always seem to tag along with fun? Get ready to laugh, relate, and maybe even cry as the sisters unpack their struggles with prioritizing themselves and remind us all that moms deserve joy too.

A recent study shows that 64% of moms are experiencing a decline in their mental health but not the dads. So what’s really going on here? In this episode, Kate & Anne unpack the invisible weight so many mothers carry: the emotional labor, the mental juggling, and the pressure to do it all.
We’re digging into the stats, the stories, and most importantly what we can actually do about it. From asking for more support to letting go of the “perfect mom” myth, this is an honest, necessary conversation about the real state of motherhood today.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it all together with duct tape and coffee, you’re not alone.
