Joy and Sarah are kicking off season six with guest Nichole Lim — Nashville-based director, screenwriter, and producer with 15+ years in the film industry

From an unexpected pregnancy to a shotgun wedding, a traumatic C-section to a complicated divorce, we cover it all in just over an hour with long-time friend and forever optimist, Meg Perry.

Activist and OG mom friend Colleen Weiss joins to give us the dose of hope and motivation that we, as mothers, could all use right now.

Joy and Sarah welcome Actor, Producer, Director, and Genetic Counselor, Randa Newman! We touch on the emotional upheavals of motherhood, the complexities of losing a parent.

Sarah gives a play by play of Lady’s birth while it’s still fresh on the mind and Joy reflects on her first experience with the Nashville Film Festival showcasing her Short Film “I’m A Winner” which won the Audience Award.

Joy and Sarah sit down just days before Sarah is due with her second child. When she found out she was pregnant, the next day she learned that her dad was sick. Join us as she walks us through her journey of carrying the weight of life and death at the same time.

On the Season 4 Finale, Joy and Sarah sit down with mother of 2, Ally Fallon. Newly licensed yoga instructor and established ghost writer and book coach, she shares with us her recent paradigm shift into stepping back from being the breadwinner to focusing more on her family.

Sarah and Joy have tea and chat with Natalie Dodd, a licensed clinical social worker and toddler mom. Natalie shares her journey of pursuing healing practices, dealing with postpartum anxiety, and the critical role of support networks.

The gals are joined by singer/songwriter, Rosi Golan. Rosi knew she wanted to adopt from a very young age and she shares her experience with the foster system. We discuss what blindsided her about motherhood, Joy had a potential run-in with poison control and Sarah is trying to get back into routine post Spring Break.

The girls are joined by professional actor and father of 2, James Kyson. He’s trying to be present in his time with his girls, Joy is enjoying Penny’s milestones and Sarah is wary of bringing out the “where do babies come from” book.

The girls have a long-overdue catchup with Jenny who updates us on her new venture “Mediatox.”
