Could it be? Really? Two episodes in a ROW?? Your eyes and ears do not deceive you friends, we are so excited to welcome you back to another eppy of the FB&W podcast!

I hope you guys are ready to buckle in and get down to the nitty gritty of where in the hell Jess and Rach have been for the last 7 months. The girls start off with some light banter, but pretty quickly get into the heaviest meat we've ever served... Jess's telling of what she went through last year, and the journey of grief that she's been navigating since March 2023. This episode is full of potential triggers, so please take care of yourself when listening. Cancer, parent loss, pregnancy loss, abortion, and grief are all discussed in detail. It's been a hell of a year for our friend Jess, and we are just so grateful for this community who we know have been holding her close in our absence. Stay tuned for next week when we get into some more Q&A from our listeners, and hear a little more from Rach on her motherhood journey, Jess with her new pregnancy, and how their relationship has grown in this stage of life. We love you all so much and can't thank you enough for sticking with us through this incredibly hard time. See you NEXT WEEK!

Rach, Josh, and Elsie are live in their living room to tell the tale of Elsie's birth and the 3 weeks that have followed. Keep your ears out for sweet baby coos throughout the episode, they are quite the treat! Rach starts off with a top TOTD, Josh gives his theory on breastmilk science, and they get into the ins and outs of the black hole they've been in for the past 3 weeks. Josh shocks Rachel with an update on his prepper supplies, and if y'all need some dry beans in the apocalypse you know who to contact. Before we get into the meat, Rach announces that the girls are needing to take a break while both of them navigate the huge life changes ahead of them. We hope to be back sooner rather than later, and we promise to keep you updated. The meat this week is Elsie's birth story! Rach and Josh relive the 28-hour marathon experience of welcoming their daughter into the world. Spoiler: absolutely nothing went to plan. The induction was truly tested Rach's sanity, but it was absolutely all worth it in the end. There was no part of her birth plan that actually happened, so shout out to her doula Christy for keeping the ship afloat.  Toward the end of the episode we get into some questions you submitted about parenthood and the past 3 weeks that have been a total whirlwind. We get into our mental health, bodily functions, how we've navigated parenthood as partners, and much more.Jess and I will miss you guys SO MUCH. Thank you for your continued love and support.

Everyone's favorite is back from her battical- pt. 2! And the girls are LIVE from Jess's NEW house! Rach is 38 weeks pregnant and FEELING IT and has been sipping a little bit of the hippy-dippy Kool-aid. Jess gets real with the pod and shares some of where she's at and where she's been for the past several months. We truly couldn't be happier to have this community, and hope you will continue to support us as we navigate the upcoming murky waters for both of us. Rach reads some Josh hate comments from a recent TikTok that went semi-viral, and the girls have a good laugh about the unhinged behavior that comes from the internet. Jess shares a CLASSIC Joe breakdown from move-in day, which is full of twists, turns, and quality Cartellone-MacAleese antics all around.The meat this week is digging into some questions from the app Holsom.

Rach tells an embarrassing story from a run-in with a past teacher. Josh celebrates his 30th birthday and Rachel gives her two cents on curing climate change. On this episode Rach and Josh answer a bunch of questions from our listeners and go over some newlywed advice, hopes for parenting, our current (lack of) sex life, and the future with our daughter. We loved having this opportunity to connect and look forward to the next stage of our lives. We get into the division of finances and household labor, how "ready"we feel for this next step, and our hopes for life with Elsie Jean.

Jess is moving (and slowly losing her mind) so longtime listener, first time guest, MEREDITH, graces the pod with her presence this week! Meredith is Rach's best friend of the past 15 years, and the girls take everyone down memory lane from their church camp days to present. The episode hits the ground running because we've got a LOT to catch you guys up on before we start getting into the adult part of our friendship. The episode is really driven by one very important question raised by one of our listeners: "Have you ever had a partner the other didn't like?" Rach and Meredith's relationship has been challenged throughout the years revolving around that exact question because spoiler: Meredith's type happens to be Rachel's worst nightmare. The girls reflect on their 2014 NYE from Hell, introduce Rach's former nemesis, "Frank", and have a lot of laughs before they get into talking about the growth their relationship has taken within the last year after a real 5 year STRUGGLE. If you have a friend that you are in a season of struggle with, we hope our story can give you a little hope that there is always a better version of your friendship around the corner if you put in the honesty and effort. This is only part 1 of 2 of this lengthy conversation between these longterm besties. Stay tuned for Part 2 once Rach goes on maternity leave in a few weeks! Please keep listening, sharing, and being the best damn podcast fam two girls could ask for. IG- @forbetterandworsepodcastTikTok-@forbetterandworseWatch our episodes on YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCku0ZFVoy85uV3Lb8emND4g

The girls huddle up realllll close this episode in order to work around yet another technical difficulty! 2023 is the year of CHANGE. Jess got the keys to her new house, Rach has a run-in with "free-will", and the girls bond over their individual neighborhoods character. What is life without a few gunshots and SWAT team raids?? Jess jumps into a reflection on 2022 - not for her personally, because we all know that was a shit show, but for the world in general. Inflation... egg costs are on the RISE, and Rach goes on quite a long egg-rant #egggirlsriseup?? Abortion bans, War in Ukraine, and a bunch of other bullshit really helps solidify that 2022 was not all it was cracked up to be. Rach gives her pop culture predictions for 2023 (is she becoming more relevant??) Some of them *might* be manifesting... we ALL need a new Olivia Rodrigo album in 2023, okay?! Jess brings us home with some of her hopes for this year, and positive changes she wants to make. Rach... well she's just hoping to survive in her first year of motherhood. Overall this is a pretty lighthearted episode that will hopefully put you in the right mood to make 2023 a wonderful year for CHANGE. We love you all and can't wait to grow with you this year! Please keep listening, sharing, and being the best damn podcast fam two girls could ask for. IG- @forbetterandworsepodcastTikTok-@forbetterandworseWatch our episodes on YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCku0ZFVoy85uV3Lb8emND4g

CW: Pregnancy loss, miscarriage, abortion, griefJess and Rach are back together and they brought the 3rd member of TTP, Madison freaking Sharp. Mads hydrates from an interesting vessel, Jess talks about her droopy butt, and the girls get in a heated cottage cheese debate. Just a heads up that there were some major technical difficulties this episode, so Jess only makes it for the intro section. Mads and Rach got back together to rerecord the meat of the episode, so they had to relive their deepest trauma TWICE for the FB&W community - so give them some love. The meat this week is about pregnancy and loss. Rachel tells the story of her recent ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery she had to have, where she lost her pregnancy in the process. It's a heavy episode, supported by Madison and her experiences with her pregnancies, losses, and her journey to motherhood with her son Eric. Mads shares her perspective on seeing Rach and Josh go through this, and gives advice for people who are in partnerships where they not might be heard or safe. Rach and Mads try to shed light on a very difficult and painful process. If you are thinking they have all the answers... spoiler - they don't. We hope you feel supported, understood, and loved by us in this episode. We see you and your pain, and we want you to know you are not alone. ***Heads up that we try to use gender neutral language when approaching the topic of pregnancy and birth, but we are not perfect.
