    S4E15 - The Rooties Review: Twilight

    S4E11 - Things We Don't Talk About Enough

    Stephani and Lauren turn a funny, unfiltered catch-up into a (not really) surprisingly vulnerable conversation about the things women are expected to carry quietly, from postpartum support to project-management-level adulthood to the weirdly intimate politics of what we do and do not talk about enough.What starts with moms, side characters, and the sacred chaos of family tea spirals into a full-on cultural brain dump. Lauren and Stephani celebrate the blunt honesty of Gen X and boomer moms, break down why meeting your best friend’s parents tells you more than any origin story, and revisit the strange, hilarious ways childhood, adulthood, and motherhood blur together. Then the episode shifts from hilarious to deeply real as they unpack postpartum mental health, the way it gets mislabeled and minimized, and why new mothers need far more care, language, and support than they usually get.

    S4E8 - She Kahan Conjure Her Power

    Stephani and Lauren are back, and they are not wasting any time on this new episode. What starts as the two catching up somehow turns into a full-blown therapy session with way too many tangents. This week, we're talking concert highs and post-concert lows, fan girl behavior, mom guilt, burnout, FOMO, childhood magic, social media, parenting wins (and very public fails), and why sometimes staying home is actually the most rebellious thing you can do. We laugh about the ridiculous parts of adulthood, get unexpectedly honest about the heavy stuff, and remind each other that none of us really know what we're doing, and that's kind of the point. If you've ever felt overstimulated, overcommitted, or just needed to hear two friends make sense of the chaos in real time, pull up a chair. We're just trying to stay rooted through it all.

    S4E4 - Button Mashing and Binge Watching

    Lauren and Stephani share hilarious stories of family adventures, pride parades, and concert nights, emphasizing that authentic connection often comes in the simplest forms—like a proud kid at school or a shared love of old bands.We also explore the emotional bittersweetness of fleeting moments—whether it’s that perfect concert feeling, supporting your kids’ performances, or finding pride in your community’s inclusiveness. These stories remind us: the middle ground isn’t just a place of ambiguity; it’s where real life—the messy, awkward, beautiful stuff—thrives. Missing out on that is missing out on the best parts of being human. In this episode, you'll discover how being “boldly click-happy” has shaped our digital habits and why Millennials’ fearlessness with technology—button mashing through updates and laughing at the generational gap—actually keeps us connected. We break down the absurdities of social media cues like unsending messages, screenshotting Instagrams, and navigating the chaos of viral TikTok moments.
