Raising Each Other

What started as a harmless family pastime has turned into a full-blown QVC commentary club. In this episode, Amy and Karlie dive into the wonderfully weird world of shopping television, where every sweater is "life-changing," every candle is "must-have," and everything comes with four easy payments.

Before podcasts, before adulting, and long before Karlie’s obsession with ombre hair finally faded, there was a one-subject notebook. In this episode, Amy and Karlie take a trip back to 2015 and revisit a journal they started when Karlie was in seventh grade. What began as a simple back-and-forth notebook filled with questions, life updates, and mother-daughter conversations unexpectedly became a...

This episode has that classic Raising Each Other energy: equal parts hilarious, opinionated, and completely unapologetic. The main theme is a funny but spirited debate about dressing your age, acting appropriately in public, and the things that make Amy and Karlie immediately become "judgy bitches."

Election season is here, and Amy and Karlie have officially hit their limit.

Amy confesses to a major parenting fail: somehow neither of her daughters has ever seen Practical Magic. Then she and Karlie battle it out with their Top 5 fast food picks and favorite reality competition shows before letting AI reveal the "official" rankings.

From using AI to write emails and analyze spreadsheets to asking it life's most important questions like "Do spiders pee?", we talk about how quickly artificial intelligence has become part of everyday life. Along the way, we experience an unexpected recording disaster and, fittingly, have to use AI to help save the episode.

Weddings are supposed to be about celebrating love, but they often come with hefty price tags and high expectations. We discuss wedding season, changing traditions, guest responsibilities, and why weddings today can feel more complicated than ever.

Yep. This episode is THAT random.

When you need a simple task or change made, why do you have to talk to 8754456 people because “no one” seems to be authorized to make a simple change to a hotel reservation or freeze your bank account when fraud is obvious???

Amy and Karlie dig into the maddening reality of a justice system that seems allergic to accountability. From repeat offenders walking free to consequences that feel more like suggestions, we break down how crime keeps happening while the system shrugs. It’s blunt, it’s fired‑up, and it’s the conversation everyone’s tired of avoiding.

Back‑to‑school season hits the Stephens women in full force, and this episode goes everywhere — from elementary‑school supply lists that looked more like FEMA inventory to the emotional trauma of off‑brand crayons.

A quick, fun mix of stories — surprising Grandma with The Lion King on stage, celebrating Karlie finally securing her legendary ninja slushie, and laughing about how Amy only shops when there’s a clear mission and a purpose. Pure chaos, zero structure, all heart.

A chaotic, funny mix of everyday frustrations and big‑picture nonsense — from Amy’s electrical and a/c filter struggles to the drama over Flock cameras, anonymous Facebook arguing, the media‑fueled diarrhea parasite panic, and even Canada getting blamed for wildfire smoke. A rapid‑fire episode covering life’s most random irritations.

Amy gushes about the fox family that turned her backyard into a springtime playground, while Karlie shares the joy of befriending a squirrel and watching a nest of eggs hatch right outside her window.

This week, we’re breaking down the garage sale from the hostess side — the side with the sweat, the smoke, the popsicles, and the customers who made us question humanity in brand‑new ways.

We break down the ridiculous world of garage sales — from $5 Happy Meal boxes to the stuff people swear is “vintage” but is really just trash with confidence. We talk about what actually sells, what never should, and the 30 martini glasses Amy owns for absolutely no reason. We plan our upcoming sale and debate giving away a free martini glass with every purchase, because at this point… why not.

Amy and Karlie dive into the vacation memories that shaped Karlie’s childhood — the Disney trips full of magic, meltdowns, and the undeniable need for a real vacation afterward. They also revisit the big beach trips with extended family, where fun collided with the chaos of trying to get everyone on the same page. It’s nostalgic, funny, and a very real look at family vacations through the years.

TRIGGER WARNING ‼️‼️⚠️⚠️ If you are easily offended by questioning of anything you feel strongly about in regards to religious beliefs, do not listen.

We question Lent, the role of the Pope, confessing to priests, and why some tra...

Karlie admits she once tipped ten dollars at Subway, and it sends us into a whole spiral about tipping culture, why good service deserves good money, and how only certain humans are built for long‑term waitressing without losing their will to live.

Amy and Karlie open the vault of irrational annoyances — the ones you can’t justify, can’t explain, but absolutely feel in your bones.

This week we spiral into the absurd universe of drug commercials — where fixing one tiny issue somehow comes with 87 catastrophic side effects. At this point it feels less like medicine and more like the legal drug hustle.

Success is loud. Happiness is honest. We pick happiness.

We gush about the men who anchor us — and laugh about the quirks that drive us wild.

Adulthood is dumb. You buy paper towels, toilet paper, and somehow every outing, repair, or minor inconvenience costs $300. We complain. You relate.
