Bad Wives Club

Luxury diapers? Maybe. Oversized, pearlescent Christmas cards? We’re going to pass.

This week, we’re talking about where we save, where we splurge, and the purchases our husbands might never understand. As working moms with three kids each, we’re comparing what’s worth spending on, what makes our lives easier, and what we’re perfectly happy getting for less. Yes, that includes paying someone to pick up dog poop.

One mom’s waste of money is another mom’s best money ever spent, and we don’t always agree on which is which. Plus, we share a hilarious story from one of Liz’s best friends’ recent nights at a bar and discuss why this year’s Christmas cards might be our smallest yet. Because do we really need the fancy paper if we’re all headed for the same trash can?

Consider this your spooky sleepover with the Club—except our guest actually investigates haunted houses, and we’re suddenly questioning every flickering light.

Our friend and spirit medium Tiffany Rice (@spirittiff) joins us for a Halloween conversation about her early experiences, her paranormal-investigation days, and the difference between something feeling haunted and something feeling scary. We’re asking all the questions—including whether we’d actually want to know who else might be hanging around our homes.
And yes, there’s a moment during recording that has us looking around the room. You’ll know it when you hear it.

In this episode:

Ouija boards, childhood spooky games, and Tiffany’s early sense of “knowing.”

Learning to trust your intuition—and staying open when you’re skeptical.

Paranormal investigations, ghost-hunting equipment, and Tiffany’s experiences in her own home.

Staying overnight at the Lizzie Borden house, the room that unsettled her, and her take on the Netflix portrayal.

The unexpected “did you see that?” moment during recording.

What happens when sensitive information comes up in a reading, and how Tiffany approaches those conversations.

Halloween, loved ones in spirit, and why Tiffany says connection isn’t limited to spooky season.

Liz is back from a girls’ trip to the Cape with plenty to say and barely a voice to say it. This week, we’re catching up on JJ loving—and crushing it at—hockey, which gets us into the world of youth sports and being sports moms.

Then we’re asking ourselves: Would we be doing half the things we do as moms if we hadn’t seen someone doing them on social media? From mom fads we’ve bought into to the ones we’re skipping, we talk about how much our feeds influence our parenting—and what we actually want to spend our time doing.
Plus, Libby shares an exciting update about Joe pursuing real estate full time, and we catch up on what Sonny’s eating from Little Spoon. Including pitaya… which apparently is something we’re serving our babies before we even know what it is.

We also talk about the holidays and how we are looking forward to it because we have so much to be grateful for this year and incorporating new traditions!

Liz’s sister Kristen is back & she’s been putting in WORK.

You know her from Liz’s Instagram or past episodes she’s been a guest on, but this week she’s recapping their recent Disney trip from an aunt’s perspective. She crashed Liz’s family trip, got the full experience, and decided a couple of days was plenty.

Then Liz’s unexpected trip to the ER left Kristen holding down the house with three kids…until five neighborhood kids joined them. Eight kids. One over-stimulated Type A Kristen.

We’re talking family vacations, aunt life, and the sister who always shows up even when the job description keeps changing (like helping us with this podcast)...

What we talked about:

Where we stayed (with help from our parents’ Disney Vacation Club membership. We know that’s a privilege—Disney is expensive)

What we loved (the best character breakfast, and BTS of Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique)

Rides and reality checks (why we could skip Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party next time)

Back home (Liz’s migraine-with-aura experience, asking for help and Aunt Kristen taking over)

REMEMBERING CELINE: Today, October 15, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Join us in lighting a candle at 7 p.m. your local time for the Wave of Light, honoring the babies we’ve lost and the families who carry their memory.
On October 24, Liz’s sister Kelly is teaching a BBB workout fundraiser at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza, with proceeds benefiting March of Dimes. Liz, Kristen, and Libby will all be there!! Come work out with us and support a cause close to our family.

Join Kelly for BBB Moves for March of Dimes: Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. ET, Hilton Boston Park Plaza. In honor of Celine; proceeds benefit March of Dimes. Get tickets here.

How do we teach kids patience and hard work when everything they want is one click away? This week on Bad Wives Club, we’re talking about parenting in a world of instant gratification, teaching kids responsibility, and getting them involved in household chores.

Liz shares how her Skylight calendar is helping organize family routines and motivate her kids to pitch in. We compare chore charts and reward systems for kids, the ones that work, the ones that flop, and why Libby’s pretty much always fall apart. Plus, why does everyone want to be “helper of the day” at school but never at home?!
We also share some big podcast news: we hired our first manager! Libby reflects on being a mom of three, how motherhood feels different with her third baby. She also opens up about her August “crash out,” postpartum overwhelm, and the mental load of motherhood long after the newborn stage.

An honest, funny conversation about raising responsible kids, managing life as working moms, and trying to teach patience when we’re running out of it ourselves.
