Laundry & Bourbon

Are you on a journey to self-discovery? We are. Come join us, and maybe Jess will invite us to her land in West Texas!

What are the things you wish you knew about health in your 20's that could have helped you in your 40's? What are the things you can do now to help with hormones, hair, and skin? We cover the basics in this first episode of The 40 Year Old Maintenance Manual.

What are those questions that strangers (or friends) ask you that are absolutely no one's business? We cover a few in this episode.

Have you ever wondered why some doctors simply won't listen to your requests?  Do you need to know how to advocate for yourself at a clinic? Is insurance dictating your care? We answer these questions and more.

You pay attention to your physical health, so why not pay even more attention to your emotional health? We're here to talk all about doing an emotional detox. Yep, get rid of those people and practices who bring you down. You have no room for negativity! Think it's easier said than done? Maybe, but try some of our tips and tricks.

Do you love routines, or do you feel like it's a dirty word? Today, we chat about how difficult it is for us to get into healthy routines. Also, Jess is searching for a new word that doesn't sound so boring. Any suggestions?

There are a few topics that will trigger us. One such topic for Hailey is fat shaming, and she experienced a lot of it this week. Let's just say we won't stand for that!

It's the New Year. Time for a New You, right?   Detox is a topic we care deeply about, so nerd up with us as we talk about what this actually means. Should you do a juice fast, heavy metal detox, or can you even detox?   We break it down and talk about the myths surrounding this topic!

Happy New Year! Thank you for listening to our podcast. We hope 2020 treated you kindly and that 2021 is even better! In this episode, we reflect on our own stories of the year, both good and bad, with a special guest.

What are your favorite stupid Christmas traditions? We'll tell you ours. Wait till the very end of this episode if you want to be amazed by Hailey's song. There's a lot of laughter in this episode, so grab your bourbon!

Whether you're a mom or a CEO, the fact that you're a female who likes to drink a little draws some judgment from onlookers. Has Wine30 marketing or "mommy juice" culture gone too far? Let's take a deep dive into this conversation. Where do you stand?   Also, who wants to have a Zoom happy hour with us?

Do you feel like you have to plan to drink, even if it's just one glass of wine? What's the science behind how we process alcohol, and is Hailey a superwoman for drinking? Yes, we have a vitamin protocol for that. Join us as we ponder drinking after 35 years of age.

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends! Here's a fun game.

Are you fatigued? Has someone said it must be your adrenals?  We break down the science in a fun way with this post. Spoiler alert: Hailey says it's not adrenal fatigue! Join us for a self audit and learn how to get energized again.

We love random things, and in today's episode we chat about some of our guilty pleasures.  What this really means is that Hailey needs to know if any of her friends have a direct line to the Jonas Brothers, and Jessica really wants Sam from Outlander. Megan's the cool one of the bunch with her magical hair.

Let's chat about gaslighting, shall we? Nothing upsets us more than the Tone Police. Ladies, how has someone tried to silence you?

So you think you want to jump on the Insta Reel? Talk to Jessica first. Do you have a million dollar toddler idea like Megan does? Are you so over instant gratification like Hailey? Listen to us rant and rave this week, and admire Jessica's new smile!

So...Megan & Hailey did a thing...   The mom life is no joke, and now we can all attest to the super powers of every parent. Join us as we talk about the exhaustion and wonderfulness of toddlers!

Join us for this happy hour game of "Would You Rather?"   We dive into some really odd questions. Moral of the story, this is a funny episode that goes great with Ben Milam Bourbon!

Let's get one thing clear: as women, we need extra boundaries in our lives. Whether it's professional or personal relationships, we all need to know when to say "no," or "I deserve better." In today's episode, we talk about a variety of times where we truly needed to learn to set up boundaries for self-preservation.  

What happens when you're over 40 but you still think you're 25? We're losing our hair, gaining weight, and we're just so tired! In this episode, we chat about thyroid hormones.  We get a little nerdy, but we have fun doing it.  

In this segment, we break down a few things that truly bother us. Since we're over 35, we also have no cares in the world about whether or not you agree! This conversation deals with pumpkin spice lattes, essential oils, and a store we don't understand. We invite you to change our minds...

We learn a little too much about our past experiences with alcohol in this episode.    If you don't drink, feel free to skip this episode...   Also, we may have had a brilliant idea for a new genetic panel: The Party Panel.

Hey Ladies! Has anyone ever given you grief over the cleanliness of your car? Has anyone ever told you the state of your car directly reflects on the state of you...underwear...??? Well, join us for our breakdown of this dreadful comment and what we truly think about the power of women!   We are multitasking power houses!

This week, we rant and rave about our favorite recent experiences.   What are we drinking?  1835 Original & Wild Turkey Longbranch   Who's birthday was it? Hailey's! She tells us her big rant and rave for swimsuit shopping.   Links to the things we love this week: www.tomboyx.com www.chewy.com www.thyme-is-honey.com They didn't sponsor this episode. We just legit love them.

Welcome to the Patio Sessions, the time where we hit record and random, often funny, thoughts come out of our mouths.  In today's episode, we discuss whether or not alligators hold the key to the fountain of youth. Yes, you heard that right. Jessica tells us a story about the time Hailey made her fall out of her chair with laughter. Also, we discuss our favorite Bourbon of the day: 1835 Peach Bourbon. It's a Texas brand. Try it if you can! Next week, we'll be back with a more serious episode...maybe...

Do you have to have a cheat day in order to stay on a healthy eating plan? We think the word "cheat" is too negative, so we want to change mentality around food. If you're hoping to get healthy or change your eating habits, cheat days can bring you down. Instead, focus on the quality of food, your emotional relationship with it, and if you want to indulge, just do it!   If you need support getting healthy, the doctors are in! Check out www.neuroworkswellness.com for their clinic info, and look at www.dnarx.com if you want to DIY your health!

Why does Google only talk about pregnancy when we search for "women's health after 35?"   Why did we recently all start a fitness routine in our late 30's/early 40's? Why did we ever stop being physically fit in the first place? What has it done for us so far?   How are we mentally 22 years old but physically feel 80?   How does physical fitness help you heal?   This episode talks about our first step toward feeling healthy and well, and why it's so hard for women to be empowered in this journey.   Age well with us!

You know those topics, the ones that no one tells you about when you're in your young 20's - health after 40, the hardships of parenthood, how much bs you'll put up with in life? We're going to talk about all of it.    We're going to air our dirty laundry, metaphorically speaking, and we're going to live our life to the fullest (usually with bourbon). We're going to talk about the things that make us phenomenal women, but we're not going to shy away from the things that break our spirits.   We want to walk with you through the nitty gritty path we call life, and we want to bring awareness and empowerment to you all.   This is a podcast by women, for women. Nothing is off limits.
