Welcome to The Bad Wives Club! We’re Libby & Liz — two best friends bringing our phone conversations straight to your speakers. We talk about the good, the bad, and the real life of marriage and motherhood. We’ve been through it all together for over 15 years—growing up, growing families, and figuring out life one stage at a time. We’re not professionals, just two moms keeping it real and leaving the expert advice to, well… the experts. Tune in weekly to hear all about how we juggle our daily lives as working moms, all while confidently NOT doing it all (*insert husband here*)!
The Summer we turned obsessed with teen drama...!! The Summer I Turned Pretty has some low key advice on grief, which led us into the conversation on how Liz is doing lately and how much she has learned to live with grief and be the best support system for her sister over this past year. We turn it back to some light and funny conversations about the new Real Housewives of Rhode Island and our speculations as to who is on the cast,...
this episode had us LOL'ing from start to finish! Do you ever just feel like you're DONE?! Yeah, well so do we, especially now that we are a little past the midpoint of summer, and ALL rules and structure have been thrown out the window. We definitely vent about how our lives feel completely out of control right now, the type of moms we are right now, and how we plan on getting back on track. Liz gives us some great insight...
Potty training has always been one of the most asked questions, so we are dedicating the beginning of this episode strictly to what we have done in the past, and what we will do with our 2.5 year olds! We then get into the topic of Delilah starting preschool in the fall, and how hard drop offs can be (Rocco crying his entire year...) and how we deal with that. Then we bring it back to the newborn stage, and Libby discusses how she ...
Happy Thursday, Bad Wives!
On this episode of the Bad Wives Club, we pick up where we left off the week before — some life updates, the wild world of toddlerhood with Delilah and Rocco soon entering their “threenager” era (tantrums and all). Liz vents about some recent husband moments (you already know the kind — this peach juice moment though…), and we talk through the mental load us women carry…and whether men are just… more p...
Ok guys - we recorded a great episode covering all things this past year as Liz turns 34, our two crazy little threenagers (and howe are handling things differently this go-around) and how are husbands straight up gas light us... and then we lost the file!! SO - rather than missing this week, we pulled the audio from our camera so it isn't your typicaly high-quality audio this week, but it's better than nothing :)
Sorry guys - bear...

Are we confident? Depends on the day, and depends on what it is! We are all a work in progress in motherhood, marriage, work, friendships, relationships, etc. This week we are telling you all about our growth and how we found our confidence (or as we say - fake it til ya make it!)
We start off this episode by recapping Booty By Brabants new store at Tuscan Village, so be sure to check it out! We also get into why we started this pod...
How well do we really know each other? Let's find out! We ask some really fun questions, and not just like "what's your favorite color"? We're getting DEEP and JUICY. What does Liz do that annoys Libby? What's something you judged a woman for in the past? What's something that you believe in that most people don't? What are signs that each of us are spiraling? Is there something you've ever don...
Libby survived 10 (or was it 12, 14, or a month?) days without Joe home for the first time ever and we are happy to report that she lives to see another day. The Karen Read trial had an eventful week with the prosecution bringing in "expert" witnesses that did absolutely nothing for them, but we are recapping the bombshells that came out of this past week. Body By Brabants has a lot of exciting new things coming your way, and Liz i...
The pressure of filling your summer calendar with endless trips, camps, and all sorts of plans can be A LOT. As we head into summer, we're talking about our different approach this time around - less f*cks given to what others are doing, less pressure to plan vacations, but more effort made to actually slow down! Although we may not be able to shut off completely with work,we all know how impactful a slow and peaceful morning can b...
We’re wrapping up our Q&A series with one last listener question—and it’s a good one. This week, we’re talking about what it really looks like to ask your husband for help (without losing your mind in the process). We share how we’ve learned to communicate better in our marriages, why it took us longer than we’d like to admit, and why expecting them to just “know” isn’t always fair.
He’s a great guy—but he’s not a mind reader. W...
Okay, you guys have been asking Liz to bring her sister, Kristen, onto the podcast to talk all about the Karen Read retrial, so after a wild second week, we figured what better time to recap! With week 2 of trial 2 in the books, we dive deep into everything going down in Commonwealth v. Karen Read. Kristen takes her position as "stay home juror" very seriously, so she's giving us her opinions, sharp observations, and ...
We're excited to welcome our first guest of the new season, Jeff Fragala! In this heartfelt and reflective birthday episode, we dive into Jeff's personal growth, fatherhood, and the values that shape us. From morning routines and supplement habits to deeper topics like discipline, self-sufficiency, and advice to our younger selves, Liz and Jeff cover it all. We also celebrate fatherhood with touching insights on the favorit...
We are picking back up with answering more of your questions! We give our opinions and how we handled seeing family and friends during the newborn stage, tips transitioning from one to two kids, and how long it took us to feel ourselves again (mentally and physically) postpartum. That question leads us into a good discussion about how we are supposed to change and evolve over time, and others saying "you've changed" s...
First off, some exciting news that Booty By Brabants is opening up a new store in the North Shore! We hear all about this amazing new location, so don't forget to check it out this Spring. We got so many amazing questions, so we're answering a bunch over a couple episodes. Today we talk about how you can make "wife" friends, opinions on the Karen Read murder trail, what our favorite staple pieces are for a timeles...
We’re done with the era of mom guilt. In this episode, we're breaking up with the pressure to “do it all” and finally tossing out the guilt that comes with taking time for ourselves. Whether it’s chasing career goals, running a business, hitting the gym solo, or just sitting in silence with a coffee (without anyone touching you) you deserve it, mama. Society might’ve handed us a guilt trip, but we’re not packing our bags. Tune in a...
Happy Thursday BWC! We're frazzled this AM with the never easy task of moms leaving the house - of course Libby has a story of what just transpired before recording started, which evolves into screen time, Ipads, rough play amongst boys, and sibling relationships. We talk about that not-so-new parenting style "FAFO" (F*ck around and find out!) and agree that none of us are the most gentle parents. We talk about the difference betw...
How many stories can we tell in 30 min?! ALOT. Liz survived solo-parenting all while her husband was on a "work trip" in Vegas, following his every move. With a solid community of moms around her, she not only had many helping hands, but she also was thrown a curve ball (in the best way!). She tells us a really heart-warming story about her son being brave and confident, dealing with friendship dynamics head on. Libby wraps it up w...
We are BACK!! After an unanticipated nine month pause, we are ready to come back as 2 peas on the pod. We want to give a HUGE thank you to our best friend Laura for starting the BWC. She hops on at the start of this episode to give her life update on this next season of hers. The past nine months brought some major changes in all of our lives, which we get into throughout the episode. The rest of the episode is Liz & Libby's fi...
