| Back to Work, Baby! The Emotional Whiplash of Rebuilding Your Career & Leaving the Baby Bubble | 18 May 2026 | 00:35:45 | |
For the first time in four years, Sarah officially doesn’t have a baby at home anymore… and instead of feeling liberated, she’s..well.. lost 😅 In this episode, Sarah opens up about the unexpected identity crisis that can come with re-entering “full-time work” after years in the baby bubble. Navigating freedom, guilt, ambition, pressure, and the weird realization that you no longer have motherhood as the built-in reason your career has been on the back burner. Sarah talks honestly about feeling behind professionally, struggling to find direction again, and what it’s actually like trying to rebuild momentum after years of surviving in reactive mode. PLUS, we tackle truly important cultural conversations like The Valley and why we all need to normalize asking our friends for their hand-me-down baby gear.

| Preclampsia Awareness! Risks, Red Flags & Prevention with Lia Butler | 04 May 2026 | 00:46:54 | |
May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month! It is one of the most serious (and often misunderstood) complications of pregnancy. It’s a leading cause of maternal illness and death, can escalate quickly, and its symptoms are often brushed off as “normal pregnancy stuff.” In honor of Preeclampsia Awareness Month, Sarah sits down with Lia Butler—preeclampsia survivor and Chief Operating Officer of NeoPredics—to break down what this condition actually is, why it’s so commonly missed, and what every mom (and mom-to-be) needs to know! CORRECTION: In the audio version of this podcast episode, Lia Butler was incorrectly introduced as the founder of NeoPredics. Lia is not a founder. She is the organization’s Chief Operating Officer.

| Sleep Training + Fixing Common Baby & Toddler Sleep Issues with Spenser Lipton! | 06 Apr 2026 | 01:03:11 | |
This week, we’re tackling one of the hardest (and most crucial) parts of early parenting: sleep training. The term “sleep training” has gotten a bit of a weird reputation lately - there are so many approaches and opinions. But at the end of the day, building healthy sleep habits matters. Because let’s be honest… if your kid’s not sleeping, you’re not sleeping, and everything feels harder when no one in the house is well-rested. Sarah is joined by certified pediatric sleep consultant Spencer Lipton, founder of My Sleep Friend, who helps exhausted parents navigate the most common sleep struggles. With tons of listener questions submitted, this episode turns into a mini crash course on all things sleep: from baby sleep training basics to toddler challenges, plus big transitions like moving out of the crib, sibling room sharing, and the small tweaks that can make a big difference.

| Full of Fluids & Hard Earned Wisdom! | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:29:55 | |
This week, Sarah is down bad with a daycare plague (seriously… what is in those classrooms?!) and gets real about why maintaining friendships feels harder (but more important) than ever. She also dives into what it actually means to feel like yourself again after kids, and the illusion of that “glamorized” pre-baby life we sometimes think we miss. Plus, she shares one surprisingly simple tip that might actually save your marriage, and answers listener questions about the very real “C-section shelf” that no one prepares you for. It’s honest, relatable, and a little unhinged… but that’s showbiz, baby! Resources from this episode!

Ever catch yourself jumping straight to the worst-case scenario when it comes to your kids? What if they stop breathing in the middle of the night? Will starting daycare too early ruin them for life? What if that little cough is actually… the bubonic plague? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. There’s actually a name for this mental spiral: catastrophizing. In this episode of Bottle Service, Sarah breaks down this common “thought trap” that so many parents (especially postpartum moms) all into. She talks about why our brains are wired to jump to worst-case scenarios, how catastrophizing can show up during postpartum AND throughout parenting, and when those thoughts may cross the line into postpartum anxiety. Most importantly, Sarah shares ways to interrupt the spiral so you can breathe a little easier and get back to enjoying your kids instead of worrying about every possible disaster. Because more often than not, everything is going to be just fine. Want more from Sarah?

| It's Time to DO SOMETHING! Putting an End to Gun Violence with March Fourth | 16 Feb 2026 | 00:47:27 | |
As moms, protecting our kids isn’t just important, it’s instinct. And right now, the leading cause of death for children in the United States is gun violence. It’s a heartbreaking reality, and when faced with the scale of the problem, it’s easy to wonder: What can I actually do about it? That question led Sarah to this week’s guest, Kitty Brandtner — Founder and Co-President of March Fourth which is a nonpartisan organization working to end the mass shooting epidemic. Kitty isn’t a politician or a lifelong activist, she’s a mom, just like us! And she’s helping everyday people step off the sidelines and into meaningful action. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, helpless, or unsure where to start - this conversation is for you. Take a listen and learn how you (yes, even you in the spit-up-stained sweatpants!) can make a difference. Want more from March Fourth?

| Wait, How Much?! Navigating the Financial World of Fertility Treatments with Claire Tomkins | 01 Sep 2025 | 00:37:01 | |
Now WAIT—I know what you’re thinking… finance is probably your least favorite “F” word too. But when it comes to family planning and fertility treatments, it’s an important piece of the puzzle. We’ve talked about the emotional side of fertility struggles and IVF on the show before, but today we’re pulling back the curtain on the financial reality. Because let’s be honest—things like IVF, egg freezing, and other treatments can be really expensive. And to make matters more complicated, insurance doesn’t always cover them.
