Lord Help the Sisters (and Their Mother)

The sisters and their mother return after a (totally justified) hiatus with HUGE updates to report. Someone had a baby! Another one of us broke a foot! Dad had an irregular heartbeat but he’s fine now! Tune in for their long-awaited comeback as the Stein-girls dish on what’s been going on since 2023. Welcome back, all!

In this special "Holiday" episode, the Sisters and their Mother lovingly confess their cultural appropriation of Christmas holiday traditions, including "Candy Cane Lane" performances at the mall, memorable tacky lights tours, and favorites holiday movies - all with that special Stein-girl twist ... including the fact that they posted it the day AFTER Christmas. Oops. Happy Holidays one and all!!

In honor of "leaf-peeping season," join Nikki, Annie, and Elyse as they hit the great outdoors in upstate New York. Yes, these sheltered Jewish ladies pushed their limits in nature and lived to tell the tale, right here on this podcast. Learn about Elyse's "bathmophobia" (shockingly, does not mean a fear of baths), hear the proper ways to roast a s'more ("never fling the marshmallow pole!"), and f...

Join the Steingirls on this week's episode as they get deep whilst attempting to understand, embrace, and define self-care. Is this really just a new social media term for "hobbies"? Can self-care backfire and make us feel even more weird than we did before the candles, bubble bath, and bon bons? Is self care actually selfISH, and what if we actually need to learn to "care less"? The ladies also s...

This week, the mother and the sisters are joined by a very special guest: their childhood babysitter and faux big sister, Stacy! Join the gals as they reminisce about what went down when the parents weren’t around, and consider whether experience as a babysitter prepares you to become a better mother. Are finite time and a stack of cash the only ingredients necessary for being our best selves? And...

Time to put on your grown-up lady pants (Maxi pad included) while Nikki, Annie, and Elyse explore the answer to Grease 2’s ultimate philosophical question, “Where does the pollen go?” The gals reveal what went on behind the closed doors of their childhood: What were their Barbies really up to? What was up with dad’s fertility clinic’s “collection room?” And has anyone heard of the 1996 NOT PG film...

Ballerina, astronaut, chef … what did YOU want to be when you grew up? Have your ideas of what makes the perfect job changed since then? The Sisters and their Mother reminisce about jobs past, what their expectations were as they entered the workforce, and the impossibility of fully knowing how to operate a cash register. Plus, is this all irrelevant considering we’re going to be replaced by robot...

This week the Sisters and their Mother welcome the Cousin (“on the Maternal side”) to discuss the gauntlet of dating apps, meeting married people on dating apps, their parents’ interference on dating apps, and whether or not the grocery store is still the best speed dating arena. When it’s all said and done, the Mother decides to call a matchmaker. Will they be speaking to each other when it's tim...

No, Robert Goulet didn’t play Captain Kangaroo, and what was the deal between Popeye, Olive Oil, Bluto and Sweet Pea? By the time the Sisters came along, children’s TV offered more than just two weird shows. In this episode, the Sisters and their Mother discuss children’s TV and their favorite shows. Join us as we celebrate Junior Gorg and the Fraggles, Barney, the entire cast of Hey Dude, and all...

Forget those natural beach waves. Just when you thought it was safe to go to bed with wet hair, your mother reads an article about the lesser-known, life-threatening reasons why you shouldn't. Do our mothers (and their mothers, and their mothers) go too far in their anxious warnings about our safety? Or can we accept the loving intention behind their exaggerated warnings of impending doom? #LordHe...

Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen… this episode is all about hair! Hair! Hair hair hair! Can we ever be happy with the hair (or lack of it) we have? Whether you have the most gorgeous head of red hair or you’re struggling to tame your brunette curls with a 450°-degree straightening iron, it seems that there’s always something we want to change about our hair. Would we be different people...

What happens when you put one aggressive sister, one passive sister, and one passive aggressive mother in a room together? Why, episode 6 of the podcast, that’s what!

If it weren’t for the likes of Gary Janetti and Celeste Barber, animal videos, and birthday praise (is there a reciprocity rule?), would there be any reason to be on social media? This week, Nikki, Annie, and Elyse debate the pros and cons of “social networking sites'' and challenge themselves and their listeners to take a two-day social media break. You’ll hear whether or not they were able to co...

Join Nikki, Annie, and Elyse as they celebrate making it all the way to episode four! The ladies discuss the origins, sadness, guilt, and acceptance that results from a lifetime of “Pixar-polymorphism.” But what about New York’s Spotted Lanternfly? … a real quandary for the family. They present their very eclectic playlist from last week’s challenge (including a song guaranteed to make you cry - w...

How do you pass along your experience and knowledge to your children? In this episode, Nikki, Annie, and Elyse discuss hard-boiled eggs and their slicers, Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese, and challenge each other and their audience to cook a meal including a protein and two sides.

How can you differentiate among these new podcast stars? One has a cold, one is a Disney (Jewish American) princess, and one fakes a Southern accent - but they all can’t wait to share their special mother-daughter(s) point of view with you. In this episode they solve the mystery of why some girls look good in baseball caps and some don’t, their plans to top Joe Rogan in the “most popular podcast”...
