Bad Wives Club

This week on Bad Wives Club , Libby talks about watching movie " The Substance" alone (because Joe fell asleep, obviously)and how GORY it is! We talk about how we're prepping for Halloween chaos with the kids and how we can keep them safe while trick or treating. We recap last week’s episode about Libby’s TTC journey — how it felt to finally share her story, and what kind of support friends can gi...

This week, Libby shares the story behind the happiest surprise — she’s pregnant with baby number three! But it wasn’t an easy journey. Over the past year and a half, she’s been through the highs and lows of trying to conceive, the endless ovulation strips, fertility apps, and emotional rollercoasters that come with it , and two miscarriages along the way. Since she is now pregnant & in a good...

Our answer is YES - we had the most amazing trip to Disney ever! We are recapping our entire trip day by day - including where we stayed (off property at the Omni Championsgate vs. on property at the Disney Riviera), how we navigated park days and rides (DAS, multi-pass lightening lane & premiere lightening lane), our favorite rides and "must dos", and Liz's first time experience at Universal Stud...

Since we were away last week, we decided to repurpose one of our most listened to and inspiring episodes from last year, with one of our best friends Allie Hershman. We recorded a short but sweet conversation of where she is at now (she's not only a wife, but a mama!!), and her most recent endeavor starting Ollie & Friends Podcast ! We are SO proud of her for launching this amazing kid friendly an...

Today we have Jeff on the pod! Liz & Jeff sit down to talk all about what their new routine looks like in the Fragala household. From Jeff starting a new job and how that schedule impacts their home routine, to the families "reset bootcamp" where they are getting rid of all screens (yes, that includes TV!), sugar, etc., and everything in between. We love having Jeff on the pod to hear the other si...

Welcome back to the Bad Wives Club! Starting this episode off with a REAL recap what these past few weeks have looked like marriage wise...now that we made it through to the other side alive and still married lol. We're giving our thoughts on labubus now that the older kids officially have them, healthy breakfast ideas, and bad habits that we are calling it quits with for the kids as a "trial and...

Happy September or Happy New Year?! Feels like the new year for us... fresh start and new routines. We're doing a fun little rapid fire of questions today about all things fall! Closet cleanout vs. buying new staples, looking cute vs. homeless at drop off, PTA Moms or avoid at all cost, fall trip with or without the kids, best fall dates, scents, flavors, etc. ! Tell us what your answers are to th...

Happy Thursday, Bad Wives! We're recapping our first week back into the new routine - how the littles did their first week in preschool, youth sports (and struggles that come along with that) and the routine we've been craving. Libby watched "Unknown Number" so we discuss this INSANE story, which leads us to such a scary part of parenting in our day in age - technology and cyber bullying. Engage w...

Welcome back to the BWC and Happy September! We hope you all enjoyed your last week of summer, and are ready to hit the ground running with this new school year!  We're recapping our final weeks of summer - cape days and slow days, and how we are transitioning back to school. Liz had the BEST stay in Harwich - you can book her exact house that she rented through this link with New England Vacation...

We are back with a part-two of last weeks conversation! On todays episode, we are focusing all on how the avoid drama in your 30's, the difference between avoiding drama versus people, how to say "no" when your social battery is completely drained, and how to distance yourself from others without the dramatic breakup or villainizing friends. We got so many messages from our listeners, so we incorp...

In this episode of the Bad Wives Club, we’re looking ahead and calling in our next chapter — from big-picture life goals to next summer’s dream plans (including Liz renting a house in Aruba for a month!). Libby admits she’s not usually the “manifesting” type, but she’s ready to lean into the spiritual side to see if she can attract a little more magic into her life. We share how we’re protecting o...

The Summer we turned obsessed with teen drama...!! The Summer I Turned Pretty has some low key advice on grief, which led us into the conversation on how Liz is doing lately and how much she has learned to live with grief and be the best support system for her sister over this past year. We turn it back to some light and funny conversations about the new Real Housewives of Rhode Island and our spe...

this episode had us LOL'ing from start to finish! Do you ever just feel like you're DONE?! Yeah, well so do we, especially now that we are a little past the midpoint of summer, and ALL rules and structure have been thrown out the window. We definitely vent about how our lives feel completely out of control right now, the type of moms we are right now, and how we plan on getting back on track. Liz...

Potty training has always been one of the most asked questions, so we are dedicating the beginning of this episode strictly to what we have done in the past, and what we will do with our 2.5 year olds! We then get into the topic of Delilah starting preschool in the fall, and how hard drop offs can be (Rocco crying his entire year...) and how we deal with that. Then we bring it back to the newborn...

Happy Thursday, Bad Wives! On this episode of the Bad Wives Club, we pick up where we left off the week before — some life updates, the wild world of toddlerhood with Delilah and Rocco soon entering their “threenager” era (tantrums and all). Liz vents about some recent husband moments (you already know the kind — this peach juice moment though…), and we talk through the mental load us women carry…...

Ok guys - we recorded a great episode covering all things this past year as Liz turns 34, our two crazy little threenagers (and howe are handling things differently this go-around) and how are husbands straight up gas light us... and then we lost the file!! SO - rather than missing this week, we pulled the audio from our camera so it isn't your typicaly high-quality audio this week, but it's bette...

Welcome back to the BWC! This week we are recapping our official start to summer, sibling dynamics (the good, the bad and ugly), and the most talked about conversation everyone in Norfolk county is having - Karen Read's verdict! We have a little juicy inside scoop for ya. Who can get us a juror on here!? Leave us on a comment! If you loved this episode, please leave us a 5 star review and comment...

Are we confident? Depends on the day, and depends on what it is! We are all a work in progress in motherhood, marriage, work, friendships, relationships, etc. This week we are telling you all about our growth and how we found our confidence (or as we say - fake it til ya make it!) We start off this episode by recapping Booty By Brabants new store at Tuscan Village, so be sure to check it out! We a...

How well do we really know each other? Let's find out! We ask some really fun questions, and not just like "what's your favorite color"? We're getting DEEP and JUICY. What does Liz do that annoys Libby? What's something you judged a woman for in the past? What's something that you believe in that most people don't? What are signs that each of us are spiraling? Is there something you've ever done (...

Libby survived 10 (or was it 12, 14, or a month?) days without Joe home for the first time ever and we are happy to report that she lives to see another day. The Karen Read trial had an eventful week with the prosecution bringing in "expert" witnesses that did absolutely nothing for them, but we are recapping the bombshells that came out of this past week. Body By Brabants has a lot of exciting ne...

The pressure of filling your summer calendar with endless trips, camps, and all sorts of plans can be A LOT. As we head into summer, we're talking about our different approach this time around - less f*cks given to what others are doing, less pressure to plan vacations, but more effort made to actually slow down! Although we may not be able to shut off completely with work,we all know how impactfu...

We’re wrapping up our Q&A series with one last listener question—and it’s a good one. This week, we’re talking about what it really looks like to ask your husband for help (without losing your mind in the process). We share how we’ve learned to communicate better in our marriages, why it took us longer than we’d like to admit, and why expecting them to just “know” isn’t always fair. He’s a great g...

Okay, you guys have been asking Liz to bring her sister, Kristen, onto the podcast to talk all about the Karen Read retrial, so after a wild second week, we figured what better time to recap! With week 2 of trial 2 in the books, we dive deep into everything going down in Commonwealth v. Karen Read . Kristen takes her position as "stay home juror" very seriously, so she's giving us her opinions, sh...
