For our final episode of 2025 let us revisit some fun or thought provoking moments from the second half of the year. Lindsie talked about how she struggled with being too petite and wanting to gain weight; Kristen puts some real numbers on how valuable a Stay-at-home Mom really is. Remember when Lindsie said she was on the carnivore diet and Kristen was utterly confused at that lifestyle change? We also revisit Kristen and Lindsie talking about funeral planning and them pre-planning their own funerals, because one never knows!

We'll be back next week for our first episode of 2026!

Let's revisit an episode from earlier in 2025!

Kristen and Lindsie are ready for some summer challenges! News on AI generated content using photos of children causes Lindsie to think on how she should navigate in the future with social media. A shocking confession from a notorious serial killer catches Lindsie's attention, Kristen explains why she believes in the Last Meeting Theory, plus, they debate gentle vs. permissive parenting. Lastly, a TikTok gives us an interesting take on schools being a dangerous place, which surprisingly, we don't disagree with.
