#11. Botox, Boundaries & Baby Trauma

Episode #11: Growing up, we were the kind of kids who always asked "why?"—much to the chagrin of our parents. That curiosity sparked some fascinating conversations about authority, independence, and resilience that have stayed with us into adulthood. In this heartfelt episode, we share personal stories that reflect how asking the right questions can transform family dynamics. We explore how curiosity and compassion have shaped our interactions with our loved ones, emphasizing the importance of nurturing a spirit of inquiry from a young age. Navigating the complexities of family relationships isn't always easy, especially when it comes to setting boundaries. I open up about my own journey with my mom, where I’ve struggled with the pressure to meet her expectations. With insights from friends like Shinka, and wisdom from my late father, I’m learning to embrace love and forgiveness as tools for healing. We draw parallels with pop culture and personal experiences, highlighting how these themes play out in reality shows like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and a chance encounter with Sutton, bringing to life the ongoing evolution of family ties. As the night falls, we switch gears to the lighter side of life—bedtime routines and guilty pleasures like reality TV. From juggling early bedtimes due to young kids to the joys of unwinding with shows like "Summer House," we share our trials and triumphs. We also spill the beans on sleep hacks and beauty secrets that keep us going, from supplements like melatonin and magnesium to the ritualistic sip of warm lemon water. And just when you think you've heard it all, we invite you to join us on social media for more laughs and essential tips for wellness that add a little sparkle to everyday life.
