I Used To Be A Summer Person. Not Anymore.
Send us Fan Mail Quick heads up first: In Her Season is moving from weekly to bi-weekly episodes for a while, since Rachel's getting close to her due date. In the meantime, this week is a solo update with a lot packed in. First, a real pregnancy update at 29 weeks — including how one first-ever chiropractic visit completely fixed lower back pain that had been building for weeks, why carpal tunnel shows up more than people expect during pregnancy, and the small relief of finally feeling that first hint of fall air after a long, swollen summer. Then it's on to something lighter: seasonal personality types, and why, after being a summer person for most of adulthood, this season has fully shifted into fall — cozy, routine-loving, and craving comfort in a way that feels tied to turning 30 and getting ready for a baby girl due in November. That shift means Christmas decorations are already going up before Halloween this year, because apparently nesting means making the house feel cozy before a newborn arrives. It closes out with genuinely useful advice on making friends in a new city, and the one small mindset shift that makes it so much easier.

If You’re Making a Pros & Cons List About Him… Break Up
Send us Fan Mail Sometimes you don't need another pros and cons list. You need to break up. This week on In Her Season, the girls are getting into the relationship advice we probably don't want to hear — but might actually need. Is making a pros and cons list about your partner a sign that you've already made up your mind? When do little quirks become actual red flags? And why do we make leaving a long-term relationship so much harder than it needs to be? We also make the case for buying her flowers, talk about why something as simple as fresh flowers can actually make a difference in your mood and relationships, and debate whether flowers really need to last forever to be worth buying. Plus, Rach shares her baby sprinkle weekend, the girls review a disappointing Train concert, rave about Austin City Limits, and debate what actually makes a concert worth your time and money. It's a little relationship advice, a little girl talk, and a lot of opinions. 💐🚩 Use code INHERSEASON for 10% off your order at Oceanic Organics — Natural Skincare for Every Age

Nursery Decor, Baby Sprinkle & Life Before Motherhood
Send us Fan Mail This week on In Her Season, the girls are talking about one of the most exciting seasons of life: getting ready for baby! Liv is officially in the thick of preparing for her first baby girl, from creating a cozy woodland fairy-inspired room to celebrating with an intimate baby sprinkle. The girls reminisce about the bedrooms they had growing up, share their own decorating memories, and talk about how much your space can reflect the season of life you're in. They also dive into what it feels like to be surrounded by so many big milestones at once — weddings, babies, new homes, promotions, and growing families — and why this season of life feels so worth celebrating. Plus, they talk about intentionally making time for parents, navigating family boundaries as everyone gets older, and the excitement (and uncertainty!) of what life will look like once baby arrives. A cozy conversation about pregnancy, baby prep, friendship, family, and stepping into a whole new season of life. 💕 Use code INHERSEASON for 10% off your order at Oceanic Organics — Natural Skincare for Every Age

Why We Think Our Generation Had the Best Music
Send us Fan Mail This week on In Her Season, we're catching up on everything from pregnancy adventures and girls' nights to Hilary Duff nostalgia and the changing world of social media. We chat about why smaller creators are becoming more influential than celebrities, why authenticity matters more than ever online, and the science behind why the music from your teenage years always seems like the best. Plus, we share our thoughts on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the state of modern movies, and why we're craving a return to great storytelling. It's a cozy conversation full of pop culture, nostalgia, friendship, and all the little things we've been loving lately. 💛 Use code INHERSEASON for 10% off your order at Oceanic Organics — Natural Skincare for Every Age

Third Trimester Cravings, Old Wives' Tales & Our Sourdough Obsession
Send us Fan Mail Sweet cravings, late-night heartburn, and old wives' tales weighing in on baby #3's gender — Olivia and Rachel dig into third-trimester chaos and why Olivia's in no rush for a repeat pregnancy anytime soon. Then: sourdough talk. A starter that flew to Chicago, a growing crew of "bread sisters," and a ranking of the best loaves yet (cheddar jalapeño is currently undefeated).

My Husband Wants A 4th Kid Because Of Our New Car
Send us Fan Mail This week is a lighter one — sourdough, a new car, and a full round of hot takes. Liv finally nailed her first chocolate chip sourdough loaf (proofing it overnight in the fridge instead of on the counter was the game-changer), and she's already planning her next bake for her husband: cheddar jalapeño. Rachel's thinking about getting into sourdough herself, so Liv's bringing her a starter next time. Then Rach talks through her new Kia Carnival — what she calls "if an SUV and a van had an attractive kid" — and why she ended up choosing it over a Telluride once she realized there wasn't room for a double stroller. With baby #3 on the way and her husband already talking about a 4th, the extra space might be coming in handy sooner than planned. The second half is a full hot takes round: traveling before marriage, long engagements, whether Costco is actually stressful, fancy water bottles, not needing to love your career, and (obviously) Crocs. Some of these they agree on completely. A few, they don't. If you bake, you're car shopping for your growing family, or you just want to hear two friends argue about water bottles, this one's an easy, fun listen.

3 Years Married, 4 Completely Different Relationships (Here's What Changed)
Send us Fan Mail Rachel leads a solo episode — and it turns into one of the more honest ones. She's talking through why turning 30 feels like relief instead of dread: steadier finances, clearer values, and a home she's finally decorating with actual personality instead of playing it safe with white walls. She also gets into how she's letting go of needing a spotless house every day, and the exact line she now uses with anyone who seems more interested in her home than in her. The second half is all relationships. She shares an idea from Dr. John Delony that's stuck with her — that relationships evolve through life events, not as one fixed bond — and walks through the four distinct chapters she and her husband Luke have already lived through in three years of marriage. She gets real about a recent realization: she can go an entire evening without making actual eye contact with her own husband, and what that might mean. She also tells the story of staying "on the same team" with Luke during their daughter's 105-degree fever, instead of competing over who had the right call. If you're thinking about your own relationship, your own home, or just your own 30s, this one's a good one to sit with.

Your Due Date Is A Lie (Here's What To Call It Instead)
Send us Fan Mail This week we're talking all things hypnobirthing — and why Rachel is choosing a home birth after already having two hospital births. She walks us through the hypnobirthing course she's taking, why she's so intentional about the language she uses around birth, and how she's working to detach from the fear-based birth stories so many of us grew up hearing. We reframe contractions as "birthing waves," pain as "pressure," and due dates as "guess dates" — small shifts that Rachel says completely changed her mindset going into labor. She also gets honest about what she's grateful for from her first hospital birth, and why that experience still matters even as she moves toward something different this time. We also dig into a question every pregnant woman eventually faces: who do you actually want in the room when your baby arrives? Rachel and Liv talk through the pros and cons of inviting loved ones into your birth space, and Rachel shares the very real logistics of planning a home birth with two little ones already at home. If you're pregnant, curious about hypnobirthing, or just trying to figure out what kind of birth you want, this one's worth a listen.

My Husband Refuses To Do This For My Maternity Photos
Send us Fan Mail Rainy 4th of July, a freezing house, and a rodeo-themed baby sprinkle — this episode has it all. We're catching up on where our pregnancies are at right now, starting with the maternity photoshoot planning stress that's currently taking over both our brains. Rachel's photographer sent over creative concept ideas she's excited about, while Liv is stuck trying to convince her husband to get on board with the vision (spoiler: he does not want to frolic in a field). We also talk about feeling our babies move — Liv is experiencing it for the first time, Rachel's felt hers since 14 weeks this pregnancy, and we share the sweet moment Liv's husband finally felt the baby kick too. Rachel even breaks down how she can get her baby moving just by changing position. Then we get into something we don't always say out loud: the body dysmorphia that comes with pregnancy weight gain, and why we think this season is when your partner should really be stepping up to take care of you. This one's honest, a little emotional, and very us. Use code INHERSEASON for 10% off your order at Oceanic Organics — Natural Skincare for Every Age

Paris Chaos, Pregnancy Updates & Big Life News
Send us Fan Mail Did you know a hotel can just cancel on you? Not the trip, the actual reservation, and rebook your room to someone else if you're not there by a certain time. That's what happened to Rachel in Paris. They got in late because of travel delays, and by the time they showed up, the room was already gone. No warning, no heads up, just gone. So there they were, in a foreign city, in the middle of a heatwave, trying to find somewhere to sleep at midnight, and Rachel very pregnant through all of it. We chat about updates, what it's like being pregnant through a heatwave in a foreign city, and the good kind of chaos too. We also get into something that's been on both our minds, which is how many of our St. Louis friends are moving away right now, and what that actually does to a friend group once kids are in the picture. It's not something either of us has fully figured out, but we talk through it honestly, including the idea that finding other families with kids the same age can fill that gap, even if it looks different than what you pictured. And there's a fun one at the end. Rachel has landed on a boy name, even though we still don't know if this baby is a boy or a girl. This is a life update episode more than anything, so if you've been wanting to catch up with us, this is that.

Florida, Nostalgia & New Beginnings
Send us Fan Mail This week on In Her Season, the girls find themselves together in Florida — a place filled with memories, nostalgia, and reflection. As they soak in the sunshine, they explore how certain places hold completely different meanings depending on the season of life you're in. For Liv, Florida represents four transformative years of her twenties. For her husband, it's a place tied to family traditions and childhood memories in Destin.

Liv also shares the story behind her gender reveal — an intimate moment shared with her husband in a location that holds deep sentimental meaning for him, making the experience even more special.

Crunchy Girl Confessions: The Things We Can't Quit
Send us Fan Mail This week on In Her Season, the girls are embracing a simple truth: sometimes a fresh set of nails is exactly what the doctor ordered. In fact, we firmly believe all nail salons should come equipped with a bar. From there, the conversation goes exactly where you'd expect (and nowhere you'd predict). We're sharing our hottest food takes, defending Chipotle over Qdoba, discussing why fast-food ice cream hits different, and admitting that pregnancy has completely removed any guilt we once had about indulging in the things we enjoy. We also get honest about navigating conversations around culture and identity, the importance of staying curious without making assumptions, and the moments when good intentions still leave you putting your foot in your mouth. As self-proclaimed crunchy girls, we're also confessing our not-so-crunchy vices. Whether it's flavored coffee creamer, salon shampoo, lipstick, or other little luxuries, we're proof that living intentionally doesn't require perfection. And finally, Liv shares a solution to one of her biggest clean-living frustrations: lip balm. After searching for products she could actually trust, she's partnered with a friend to create all-natural, organic lip balms made with simple ingredients you can feel good about. Shop the line at https://oceanicorganics.co It's a little food talk, a little crunchy-girl chaos, and a lot of laughter in this week's episode.

We’re Romanticizing Summer… But Who’s in My House?!
Send us Fan Mail This week on In Her Season, what started as a sweet Mother’s Day treat quickly turned into something much more unsettling when Rachel came home to more than just her babysitter in the house… The girls unpack the experience and ask the question: what would you do if a strange man came knocking on your door? Of course, in true In Her Season fashion, the conversation takes a turn into the chaos and comedy of pregnancy — including the very real reality that pregnancy boobs are absolutely their own situation. Being pregnant is a wild ride, and sometimes all you can do is laugh through it. The girls also dive into everything they’re romanticizing this summer: picnics, flowy white sundresses, feminine fairy energy, prioritizing family time, toes in the sand with a good book, and leaning into adulthood and parenthood in ways that actually feel meaningful. Plus: Rachel’s travel-filled June oysters while pregnant… yes or no? embracing slower, fuller summers This episode feels like a mix of cozy summer dreaming, chaotic girl talk, and navigating womanhood in real time 🌸✨📚 Use code INHERSEASON for 10% off your order at Oceanic Organics — Natural Skincare for Every Age

Personal Values, Pregnancy Tricks & Girl Talk

This week, Rachel and Liv dive into all the pregnancy advice and tricks constantly floating around online: raspberry leaf tea, dates, and all the “you HAVE to try this” suggestions. But at what point do you stop and ask… should Liv really be doing all of this? They also get honest about pregnancy anxiety, weird dreams, and the little things that can bring peace and comfort during such a life-changing season. Then, in true In Her Season fashion, the conversation takes a turn into the drama of hair appointments — is it rude to only book a haircut and skip the color? The girls have thoughts. And finally, they unpack their Values Bridge test results, exploring how understanding your true personal values can bring clarity, validation, and direction toward building a life that actually aligns with you — not just what society expects from you.

You're Going To Need A Plan
Send us Fan Mail PSA: If you’re trying to keep a pregnancy a secret… you NEED a plan. In this episode of In Her Season, Liv is sharing the full story of how her attempt to keep things under wraps didn’t exactly go as planned. From friends immediately picking up on the clues to slowly getting worn down, she walks through the moment she finally cracked and admitted the truth. And just when you think it couldn’t get more unexpected… she wasn’t the only one. What are the odds that not one, not two, but three girls in the group are going through it at the same time? It’s a little chaotic, a little emotional, and a perfect reminder that life doesn’t always unfold the way we picture it — but sometimes that makes the story even better. Plus, we get into early pregnancy curiosity and the rise of things like SneakPeek clinics — how early is too early to find out more? If you’ve ever tried to keep a secret, had plans completely fall apart, or found yourself in a “this was NOT how I imagined this going” moment… this episode is for you 💛 Use code INHERSEASON for 10% off your order at Oceanic Organics — Natural Skincare for Every Age
