Geriatric Mamas

This week Sonia and Jess start with a very important discussion about luteal-phase personalities, accidentally discovering the secret to good hair, and a grocery-store experience so upsetting it nearly ended Taco Tuesday. Sonia introduces Annabelle to the sacred Maine tradition of buying your first L.L.Bean backpack for school, and the girls would like everyone from outside of Maine to understand that, yes, technically other backpack brands exist. No, that information changes nothing. Then they talk about why asking a woman whether she plans to have another baby can be a wildly loaded question, especially when you have no idea what happened behind the scenes to get her the child she already has. They also share some very exciting 'Geriatric' Mamas news and dive into Lo Bosworth’s fertility journey, from freezing her eggs in her 30s to endometriosis, IVF and eventually becoming a mom. And because no episode can remain on topic for too long, there’s also Taco Tuesday, a highly classified guacamole recipe, Sonia’s late mom still finding ways to make her presence known, and the story of how Jess and Sonia became friends.

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.

This week Sonia and Jess talk first-day-of-school separation anxiety, prednisone induced water retention, the very serious business of kindergarten lunches, AOC publicly freezing her eggs at 36, and what they wish they’d known about fertility preservation. Jess explains why she deleted the dating apps and is entering her “dating myself” era, Sonia discovers that being a fun mom at a water park is significantly harder when your contacts are trying to evacuate your eyes, and the episode ends with a deeply unnecessary conversation about whether Mike is secretly attracted to water buffaloes. They also revisit the ongoing Lindsay Clancy case and discuss some of the claims, theories and courtroom developments circulating publicly.

This week, the Geriatric Mamas are covering the full spectrum of womanhood: questionable men, maternal mental health, and apparently a complete inability to safely operate a grill. Jess revisits the trauma of dating a grown man committed to World of Warcraft, and considers whether Mother of Dragons might actually be the strongest possible dating-app aesthetic. Then things get much more serious as Sonia and Jess discuss the ongoing Lindsay Clancy case, postpartum psychosis, and the terrifying gaps that can exist between a mother saying “I need help” and actually receiving the level of intervention she needs. They talk about postpartum mental health, sleep deprivation, medication, maternity leave, the testimony coming out of the trial, and the questions the case is raising for them as mothers. And because nobody should leave Geriatric Mamas emotionally devastated, Sonia attempts to bring everyone back to civilization with a wholesome story about Hampton Beach, only for it to reveal what a seagull once stole off her family's grill.

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.

This week, Sonia and Jessica begin with the highest form of female affirmation: “You look like a MILF.” Naturally, this leads to an aggressive midday smoky eye critique, a possible podcast rebrand, and a colony of ants apparently stealing false eyelashes for drag night. Because it is somehow already basically Halloween, the moms move into costume planning, pumpkin-spice urgency and Jessica’s deep resistance to Hayden entering his Hulk era. Jessica also revisits Power Rangers, only to discover that millennial nostalgia has limits. Then back-to-school season arrives with the energy of a corporate audit. Sonia shares updates on the family behavior board, including household rules, structured 'consequences', ten-minute resets and the dream of eventually becoming a Gilmore Girls mother-daughter duo—ideally with boundaries, emotional regulation and significantly less caffeine dependency. The episode also includes a medical investigation into Sonia’s ice chewing. From there, things become deeply graceful as Sonia recounts going ass-over-teakettle during a beach photo shoot, while Jessica reveals that she has fallen into enough pools for the pattern to deserve scientific study. Finally, Jessica confronts her greatest weakness: overcommitting. After casually mentioning that she works remotely and lives near Hayden’s school, she is immediately identified as volunteer material and accidentally agrees to help care for the school’s animals.

This week, Jessica and Sonia are accidentally dressed alike—again—and immediately dive into the very serious injustice of planning a perfect all weather outfit. Jessica shares her brief journey into Facebook Dating, where the options are endless, including at least one man whose background check came with an actual mugshot. Meanwhile, Sonia has reached the “I have Googled parenting strategies because apparently five is the new fifteen” stage of motherhood. She introduces Jessica to a method of parenting that treats defiance like a tactical operation—but with compliments, connection, and significantly less emotional damage than others she's found. Sonia puts the method to the test after Annabelle swings from the antlers of a carousel deer at Funtown, while Jessica shares how she helps Hayden “push the mad out.” They also discuss the pressure millennial moms feel to be endlessly present, emotionally regulated and enthusiastically available for imaginary play—even though their own parents mostly told them to go outside, drink from the hose and return when the streetlights came on. Also covered: the invention of the Titbit, a review of why wearing a Fitbit on your wrist is apparently the Crocs of fitness tracking, children who expose your emotional state with uncomfortable accuracy, and the universal parenting experience of wondering, What the hell was that? before immediately entering the next developmental phase.

This week, Jessica and Sonia spiral over the internet's latest girl's hiking trip gone wildly wrong (yes, it somehow involves diarrhea, wet wipes, and a $70,000 airlift), question why TJ Maxx and HomeGoods seem to trigger the exact same biological response in every woman, and debate whether influencer finger tapping needs to be retired forever. Plus, Sonia gears up for Annabelle first day of kindergarten with custom sneakers and school supply planning, Jess navigates the unexpectedly intense world of Montessori school supply lists, and the moms unpack the heartbreaking Ohio case involving 16 children rescued from unimaginable conditions—sharing their thoughts on the ongoing investigation, motherhood, and the families forever changed by it.

This week, Sonia and Jessica start by discussing color analysis because Jess looks good in mostly everything, then they recap one very full week of making summer memories with their kids; including beach days, Toy Story 5, Story Land, whale watching, campfires, and restaurant chaos that only happens when every child suddenly has to use the bathroom the second your food arrives. Then things take a turn and the conversation spirals into bizarre women's health discoveries, celebrity moms over 50, childbirth history that sounds like a horror movie, and the internet rabbit holes they probably shouldn't have clicked on, but definitely did.

This week, Sonia and Jessica recap a wildly hot holiday weekend filled with fireworks, matching toddlers, snackle boxes, dads being dads at the park (it's called observational research), and one very unexpected parenting realization: somewhere along the way, some parents decided it's perfectly acceptable to let other adults raise their kids at the playground. The conversation takes a turn into millennial parenting, why Gen Alpha kids are basically tiny emotionally intelligent CEOs, whether full moons actually make kids go feral, and the internet rabbit holes every mom inevitably ends up in. Plus, Jessica shares a work-from-home parenting moment that includes ants, poop, a Google Meet, and a very hungry frog toilet. Somehow... it all makes sense. And because no Geriatric Mamas episode would be complete without asking the important questions, we also discuss why do men disappear into the bathroom for 45 minutes? Why is Netflix recommending questionable "kids" content? And why... WHY... did Mike decide to tell us what he did with his blister?
In This Episode
✨ Surviving a 100-degree Fourth of July with toddlers✨ Snackle boxes, bubble wands, and becoming the unofficial kid headquarters✨ The fine line between building a parenting village and accidentally babysitting everyone else's children✨ Millennial moms raising Gen Alpha—and why we're determined to break cycles✨ Do full moons actually affect kids?

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.

Sonia and Jessica are diving straight into the dark side this week, and honestly, grab a massive glass of wine because it gets wild. They start with the mind-blowing Netflix true crime documentary Maternal Instinct, which naturally spirals into a deep dive on Taylor Parker's terrifying web of lies, their maternal instincts, and why you should absolutely never ignore your gut when someone gives you a weird vibe. Then, it's all things parenting in a scary world, swapping personal horror stories about their biggest fears, and analyzing how two people can look at the exact same red flags and see a completely different story. Plus, the mamas break down the reality of constant vigilance, safety tips, and why your intuition is the one friend you can actually trust.
