Bottle Service

In this episode, Sarah discusses the highs and sometimes LOWS of parenting. She dives into why second-born kids can often be more *challenging* than their older siblings, shares an honest moment of losing her cool, and opens up about the guilt that often follows. Most importantly, Sarah talks about what actually matters: what to do after you make a mistake, how to repair, and how to show your kids (and yourself) a little grace. Because yes! Parents are human too. Then we take our FIRST listener submitted question and discuss some mom group drama!

As moms, protecting our kids isn’t just important, it’s instinct. And right now, the leading cause of death for children in the United States is gun violence. It’s a heartbreaking reality, and when faced with the scale of the problem, it’s easy to wonder: What can I actually do about it?
That question led Sarah to this week’s guest, Kitty Brandtner — Founder and Co-President of March Fourth which is a nonpartisan organization working to end the mass shooting epidemic. Kitty isn’t a politician or a lifelong activist, she’s a mom, just like us! And she’s helping everyday people step off the sidelines and into meaningful action.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, helpless, or unsure where to start - this conversation is for you. Take a listen and learn how you (yes, even you in the spit-up-stained sweatpants!) can make a difference.

It’s LOVE WEEK! What once meant sexy lingerie and a big night out now looks a lot more like crafting in sweatpants and falling asleep in front of Netflix (again). Sarah shares how to make Valentine’s Day feel fun and meaningful for your kids, your family, your relationship—and yourself. She dives into the power of Galentine’s, makes a strong case for upgrading your intimates, and so much more! 💘

After a week of doomscrolling, our eyes are TIRED! If you're a parent in the digital age, chances are your eyes are hurting. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Pam Theriot - Optometrist, TEDx speaker, and nationally recognized expert in eye health! We discuss why so many of us are at risk for eye strain, the bad habits many of us (myself included) are definitely guilty of, and the screen time rules we (and our kids!) should live by. Dr. Pam also dives into the role hormones play in eye health, talk about a pregnancy and postpartum symptom no one ever warns you about!

This week on Bottle Service, Sarah braces for a major winter storm and discusses survival techniques for the winter months inside with rambunctuous little ones. She also discusses the "mother son" wedding dance heard round the world & the clothing selections at Costco before diving into a very REAL parenting issue no one warns you about: parental preference. Does your baby only want Mommy… or Daddy? And why does it somehow feel like the most personal rejection of your life? Let’s talk about it.
