S3 E17: Favorite Stocking Stuffers under $50 (Shared In Funny Accents)
Saison 3 · Épisode 18
mercredi 19 novembre 2025 • Durée 41:14
Now it’s time for the fun part: stocking stuffers. You know, the tiny gifts that somehow end up being everyone’s favorite. In this episode, we’re chatting through the things we’re actually buying (and gifting!) this year — from cozy home finds and kitchen upgrades to clean beauty faves, quirky gadgets, and the nostalgic holiday vibes we’re all craving. We also get into gratitude, giving back, and why being intentional with gifting matters way more than overbuying. It’s part holiday cheer, part chaos (because the babies are literally napping as we record), and 100% the cozy catch-up you need this week.
TOPICS WE COVER:
➡ Nostalgic Christmas décor: colorful lights, handmade ornaments, and reusing old favorites
➡ Giving back during the holidays — gratitude, kindness, and donating over selling
➡ Intentional gifting vs. filler gifts (and why less really is more)
➡ You can stack our code JUSTAPHASE on top of Cozy Earth’s sitewide sale for up to 40% OFF!!!!

We’re back (finally!) after a little break — in the middle of a branding glow-up and, oh yeah, Julie had a baby. So naturally, we’re kicking things off with our favorite annual episode: the Holiday Gift Guide.
We’re talking cozy pajamas, nostalgic photo albums, the viral gadget saving us from our phone addictions, and the small luxuries that make everyday life a little softer. It’s part gift inspo, part sister catch-up, and full of the banter you didn’t know you missed. Grab your peppermint mocha, throw on your comfiest sweats, and let’s make this year’s gifting both intentional and a little delusional.

S3 E8: What Your Ovulation Pain & PMS Is Trying to Tell You with Nicole Jardim, Author of Fix Your Period
Saison 3 · Épisode 8
mercredi 6 août 2025 • Durée 01:08:50
If you’ve ever felt betrayed by your body during ovulation...like, why do I feel worse during the feel‑good phase of my cycle?! — this episode is your answer key.
We sat down with The Period Girl herself, Nicole Jardim, for one of those conversations where everything just clicks. Nicole, author of Fix Your Period and founder of the Fix Your Period Collective, has spent over a decade helping women heal painful cycles, transition off hormonal birth control safely, and finally understand what’s actually going on in their bodies.
Inside, she breaks down the histamine–hormone connection, why PMS and ovulation pain aren’t “just part of being a woman,” and the practical steps you can take to feel better in every phase of your cycle.
This episode will help you:
➡ Understand why ovulation pain & PMS aren’t just something to “deal with”
➡ What's normal ovulation pain vs. not normal
➡ Learn how histamine, estrogen, and inflammation are all connected
➡ Get the 101 on DAO enzymes, estrogen dominance, and healing strategies
➡ Feel validated, empowered, and way less confused by your cycle
It’s just a phase. But it’s your body. And you get to know it.
S3 E7: Alaina & Tommy: Transitioning from 2 to 3 kids, Emotionally Intelligent Men, Love Languages, Post-Sports Identity Crisis, etc.
Saison 3 · Épisode 7
mercredi 30 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:09:21
Last but not least, it's time for our (Alaina and Tommy) solo episode! This week, we finally sat down, just the two of us without kids— tea in hand—for a personal and heart-opening convo.
We’re talking full-spectrum real life: love languages, emotional intelligence, post-sports identity shifts, the transition from 2 to 3 kids, sleep-deprived chaos, and the sacredness of the tiny moments that keep us connected when life is wild.
We laughed, we got vulnerable, we finally got the chance to stare into each others eyes… it's all here.
Grab your favorite tea, press play, and come hang with us 💛
Topics covered:
➡ What we’ve learned (and unlearned) in 10+ years of marriage
➡ How our energy, personalities, and love languages are total opposites... but complement each other in the best ways
➡ Living the traveling hockey life, and what it taught us about sacrifice, support, and starting over (again and again)
➡ Personal growth stuff from emotional intelligence to boundary setting
➡ How being “just a mom” was a struggle for Alaina at first
➡ Life as parents of energetic kids (and how we transitioned from 2 to 3)
Questions we answer from listeners:
– Are you more similar or different as a couple?
– How did you each handle your identity shift after sports?
– What are you doing to support your relationship after having kids?
– Do you go to therapy?
– How do you handle conflict as opposites?
SS3 E6: Julie & Tolin: Pregnancy, IVF Cost and FAQs & Expecting After Loss
Saison 3 · Épisode 6
mercredi 23 juillet 2025 • Durée 59:03
Julie & Tolin's solo couple episode: We’re in our third trimester (!!) and finally sitting down to talk through our IVF experience. So many of your Q+As were about IVF, so that’s where we focused most of this conversation… sharing the raw, weird, wonderful parts of it all.
From how much it cost, to how we prepped for transfer and the two-week wait, to the quiet grief and constant worrying we carried through it all… this is the journey behind what brought us to Starburst!
Every IVF journey is unique. It’s not linear. There are so many challenges and unknowns along the way. This episode isn’t about fear-mongering at all, it’s about sharing our experience, how it unfolded, and what we wish we’d known before we started. Because it was a long road (months and months), and there were so many moments we found ourselves asking, “How did no one warn us about this?”
We cover the full breakdown: cost, steps, how to find a clinic, and what helped us navigate it all. We also talk about how meditation was a huge tool for calming our nervous systems, especially during the hardest days and weeks. After miscarriage, through IVF for genetic reasons… it was a lot to process, a lot of decisions to make, and we truly took it one day at a time, learning and making decisions as we went through it in real time.
IVF isn’t just physical with shots. It’s a relationship process, something that stretches and shapes you as a couple. It’s spiritual. It’s mental and emotional. And you really don’t understand that until you’re in it.
This one’s for anyone in limbo, waiting, or walking through the thick of it. For anyone who’s had to let go of the IVF timeline, the plan, the “perfect” month to get pregnant. You are not broken. Your story is sacred. And if you’re doing IVF or thinking about it, you’re not alone in this—I hope something we shared today brings you a little comfort or clarity.
It’s just a phase and we’re walking through it with you!

We’re kicking off our Solo Couple Series!! 💥 Each couple—Carly & Billy, Julie & Tolin, Alaina & Tommy—is taking over the mic for one raw, unfiltered episode to talk about the phase of life they’re in. From the highs to the hard stuff, this series is all about real relationships, real parenting, and real growth—no group chat to hide behind 😅
First up: Carly (the middle Beyar sister) and her husband, Billy. ❤️
What starts as a Guitar Hero throwback quickly spirals into one of the most honest convos we’ve ever had on the mic—about parenting, identity loss, sex after babies, and how much we’re all truly winging it. This episode is part love letter, part therapy session.
We’re talking about:
➡ The messy (and hilarious) transition from 1 to 2 kids
➡ Dividing and conquering vs. actually connecting
➡ Why we have couples therapy (and how it’s saving us)
➡ Postpartum sex, nervous system mismatch, and how to meet in the middle
➡ The identity shift that comes with becoming a mom (and a dad)
➡ “Mom guilt” around not working...and how we’re reframing worth
➡ How dads can find purpose outside of work
➡ Rebuilding your marriage during the “roommate” era
➡ Real tips for social connection and friendship in the newborn haze

S3 E4: Move Smarter, Not Harder: Pelvic Floor, Nervous System & Low-Impact Strength with Lia Bartha
Saison 3 · Épisode 4
mercredi 2 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:01:56
In this episode, we’re joined by Lia Bartha, founder of B The Method, to talk about the misunderstood pelvic floor that impacts way more than just postpartum recovery. From smoother bowel movements to better sex, deeper core strength to birth prep—your pelvic floor is working all the time, and it’s time we stop ignoring it.
Lia walks us through why low-impact movement isn’t “less effective,” how to train for longevity (not just aesthetics), and how slowing down in your workouts might actually give you more energy, better results, and a nervous system that feels safe in your body again. Whether you’re regularly cycling, TTC, pregnant, postpartum, or just want to feel stronger from the inside out, this one’s for you.
TOPICS COVERED
➡ Why pelvic floor health matters at every age (not just after babies)
➡ The real reason your core feels off...and how to actually fix it
➡ Why tight doesn’t mean strong (hi, hypertonic pelvic floors)
➡ The lie that slow workouts are “easy”
➡ How to use your breath to protect your spine, calm your nervous system, and unlock your power
➡ Why aesthetics are fine—but inner strength has to come first
➡ How Lia built B the Method to be gentle, effective, and anti-burnout
➡ The shocking connection between pelvic tension and your stress response
➡ The one class Lia says will change your relationship to your body
S3 E3: Cycle Syncing Your Libido: A Hormonal Strategy for Better Sex with Alisa Vitti
Saison 3 · Épisode 1
mercredi 25 juin 2025 • Durée 01:04:10
You know her, you love her, and chances are you’ve underlined half of her books: Alisa Vitti is in the house! Founder of the Cycle Syncing Method and bestselling author of WomanCode and In the Flo, she’s the OG of hormone empowerment—and she’s here to break down the real science and natural patterns behind your libido (hint: you’re not lazy, broken, or just “not in the mood”).
This episode is for every woman who’s ever wondered..."Why don’t I want sex anymore? Is this just what getting older feels like? Can I actually fix this?"
Spoiler: Yes, yes you can...and it starts with cupcakes, cortisol, and clitoral edging (not a typo).
Whether you’re postpartum, perimenopausal, or just trying to get your spark back, this one’s a must-listen. You’ll walk away with tangible tools to reconnect to your body, your pleasure, and your power...and probably order In the Flo if you haven’t already. This is your permission slip to stop outsourcing your pleasure, tune into your body, and treat oxytocin like the hormone holy grail it is. You’re not broken. You’re just in a phase. And we’ve got you.
TOPICS COVERED
➡ Why libido is the frosting on your hormone cupcake
➡ How to work with your cycle phases for better sex
➡ What your body’s trying to tell you when your desire disappears
➡ Oxytocin: the most underused biohack in your toolbox
➡ Edging 101 (you’re going to want to take notes)
➡ Libido-safe strength training, hormone-happy food, and supplements that help
➡ Why you should never, ever restrict food postpartum (your future sex life and peri-menopause experience depends on it)
➡ The surprising magic of spicy romance novels

S3 E1: Business Venting Session, How We Honestly Get Paid & Trying To Stay Authentic In A Filtered World
Saison 3 · Épisode 1
mercredi 11 juin 2025 • Durée 26:06
We’re baaaaack—with a mic in one hand and a million ideas in the other. Season 3 kicks off with some big energy and even bigger updates: a rebrand, a renewed mission, and a whole lot of honesty about what it actually looks like to run a wellness biz while juggling babies, burnout, and affiliate links.
In this no-filter episode, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes peek at why we’re shifting gears in our brand, what’s actually been working for us (and what hasn’t), and how we’re trying to serve you better in every phase of womanhood, without selling our souls or our sanity.
Because here’s the thing: we’ve evolved. We're not the same women who started this. And maybe you aren’t either. This episode is half vent sesh, half vision board. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on behind your favorite wellness accounts—or you’re navigating your own pivot—this one’s for you.
