Bad Wives Club
Welcome to The Bad Wives Club! We’re Libby & Liz — two best friends bringing our phone conversations straight to your speakers. We talk about the good, the bad, and the real life of marriage and motherhood. We’ve been through it all together for over 15 years—growing up, growing families, and figuring out life one stage at a time. We’re not professionals, just two moms keeping it real and leaving the expert advice to, well… the experts. Tune in weekly to hear all about how we juggle our daily lives as working moms, all while confidently NOT doing it all (*insert husband here*)!

We’re done with the era of mom guilt. In this episode, we're breaking up with the pressure to “do it all” and finally tossing out the guilt that comes with taking time for ourselves.

Society might’ve handed us a guilt trip, but we...
