    "The Limit Does Not Exist!"

    Ready or not, summer is coming! We don't know about you, but we've got a lot to prepare for. After a very important chat on facial massage, we're getting into business banter by sharing our summer child care plans...because at least a little bit of work will have to happen even when the pool is calling. Then, we cover all kinds of bestie topics from husbands following us around the house, to our chiropractor obsession, to Lauren's healthy journey update. And if you were as attached to the Space Mission of 2026 (Artemis II) as Lauren was/is, you're going to especially love today's Gotta Gab About segment. Houston, we've got a case of the giggles. 🤣 You've been warned! 👯‍♀️ Today's Banter Includes: Two words: facial massageBusiness Banter: Our summer childcare strategies & how we’re trying to make work fit around pool days and mom-friend timeBlood boilers: husbands “helping” in the kitchen, and lost library books30-second therapy: the ultimate marriage hackLifesavers: chiropractors, laundry solutions, and training kids to be great humansLittle luxuries: crisp new glasses, the perfect iced latte, and moreLauren’s leaky gut journey, food allergies, and seeing a woo-woo doctorGotta Gab About: cooking, SPACE, and prepping the house for summer 🔗 Links You Might Be Looking For: Chore charts Rebecca mentionedWant to get your face snatched like Rebecca? @helenleland on IG!Instagram: @bestiebusinessbanterRebecca's Instagram: its.not.rocket.scienceLauren's Instagram: @counselorcliqueRebecca's Amazon StorefrontLauren's Amazon Storefront

    "I'm Not Into Face Touching"

    We survived the month of January, and I think we can all agree that's something to celebrate! Balancing work, family, and a relentless stream of sick days and snow days is no joke. That's why we're kicking off this episode by talking about how we share the household load with our husbands, and what we're outsourcing just to survive. Then, we're venting about our latest blood boilers, like annoying trips to Verizon and losing our favorite things. And we're calming it down with a reminder to embrace whatever season you're in - and a great story of a failed lash lift! 👯‍♀️ Today’s Banter Includes: How we’re sharing the load at home (and what we outsource first!) Why we’re okay being “just okay” at some things this year Why Verizon’s business model is making our blood boil Lauren’s uncomfortable eyelash lift experience 30-second therapies and little luxuries that are getting us through the day 🔗 Links You Might Be Looking For: Our websiteInstagram: @bestiebusinessbanterRebecca's Instagram: its.not.rocket.scienceLauren's Instagram: @counselorcliqueRebecca's Amazon StorefrontLauren's Amazon Storefront
