Maycember is real and we are living it. Highs, lows, a Kentucky Derby win for the history books, Netflix drama, botox regrets, smoothie wins, and all the end of school chaos. A full smorgasbord with Kate and Anne.

Everything’s not awful: first female trainer of the Kentucky Derby - Cherie DeVaux, come from behind win for Golden Tempo with jockey Jose Ortiz.

Netflix quietly added YouTube creators to kids' profiles and we are not here for it. Salish Matter — hard pass.

Here is how to block specific creators without wiping out all their content. Go to Netflix on a browser, Account → Profile & Parental Controls → select your child's profile → Viewing Restrictions → search and block by title. Also set a Profile Lock PIN so they can't just switch profiles.

(Mark Rober's CrunchLabs stays though. That one earned it.)

Sage Haven: Safer Messaging App for Kids

We are talking about something we get asked about a lot — anxiety management and the tools that are actually working in real life. Not the generic advice. The real stuff.

This week we dig into what Simple, Gentle, Easy looks like as a daily practice — how to recognize when you are in a hard season and intentionally calibrate toward content, conversations, and moments that bring your nervous system down rather than up. Kate shares the daily tracking tool she uses to rate her own energy and how it has changed the way she moves through hard days.

And then we go deep on the Enneagram — specifically how knowing your own type and the types of the people closest to you can be one of the most powerful tools for anxiety management, patience, and self understanding you will ever find. We talk about our own types: Type 8 wing 7 — the Challenger with a Enthusiast edge — and Type 3 wing 2 — the Achiever with a Helper heart — and what it looks like to work with those energies instead of against them. Knowing your own type and the types of the people closest to you changes everything. It builds patience, it builds grace, and it genuinely helps you show up better for yourself and everyone around you.

Tech Tip: Sometimes you just have to give up!!

Mean comments. Leaving someone out. A group chat that spirals. Every parent dreads the moment their child comes home and says, "nobody played with me today." But knowing how to respond — without overreacting, underreacting, or accidentally making things worse — is genuinely hard.

In this episode, we break down the real difference between bullying and kids just being mean (and why that distinction changes everything about what you do next), when to step in as a parent versus when to let your child work it out, and how to give kids the actual skills to handle social friction on their own. We're also talking about body language and confidence cues that kids send without realizing it, what to do when the mom group chat goes sideways, and how to protect your child's self-worth through all of it.

Because the goal isn't to shield your kid from every hard social moment — it's to raise one who knows how to handle them.

This week we are getting real about finding ease and joy in the stage of life that is honestly a lot. Parenting, work, friendships, marriage, and everything in between — we are sharing what is actually working, what we are letting go of, and how we are learning to hold it all a little looser. No perfect answers, just honest conversation from two sisters who are figuring it out in real time. Come sit with us.

We brought in Dr. Lori Sanford, board certified dermatologist, because aging gracefully sounds great but we also have questions. Lots of them. What actually works, what is overhyped, how do you start with injectables without looking like a completely different person, and what does a real skincare routine look like for a busy mom in her 40s. Dr. Sanford gives us the real talk on what to do at home, what is worth spending money on, what perimenopause does to your skin that nobody warns you about, and the one thing every woman in her 40s should be doing right now. Never hurts to ask the experts so you don't have to figure it out alone. This one is for every mom who wants to look and feel great and has absolutely no time for nonsense.

A new global study tied to the World Happiness Report 2026 once again ties popular social media like Instagram and TikTok to poorer mental health outcomes, especially with younger people. The report finds that these platforms, which are driven by algorithmic feeds and influencer content, tend to have a more negative impact on mental wellbeing compared to apps focused on communication.

Forty something years of sisterhood and this episode is what it was all leading to. We finish each other's sentences and the accuracy is both impressive and slightly alarming. Cheese. Tsunamis. Overbooking. Interior design control issues. Comfy shoes. And one superpower that actually made us emotional for a second before we got back to roasting each other. This is the most fun we have had recording and we think you will feel it.
