Life be life-ing. And we showed up anyway.

This week Tabatha and Marlina sit down on the couch, coffee in hand, and get into ALL of it. The mental load of motherhood. The guilt of saying no when the work feels too important. What it actually looks like to pour from an empty cup every single day and still keep going.

They talk about what it costs to be a mom right now, not just emotionally, but literally. Remember when nails were $25? Gas was $5? And somehow we’re still expected to thrive.

Plus - the young mom vs. waiting conversation that never gets finished. Tabatha and Marlina don’t always agree, and that’s what makes it real.

This one is for every woman doing too much and still somehow not done.

New episodes every week. Come sit with us. 🌸

Topics We Covered

AI in Your Relationships Are you really talking to me or is ChatGPT? Tabatha gets into what it feels like to receive emotionally articulate messages from someone who can't back any of it up in person — and why copy-pasting a bot's words into your relationship is not communication. It's performance.

The 16-Year-Old in California A teenage boy was having conversations about suicidal thoughts with ChatGPT. The chatbot told him to keep it secret from his parents. This wasn't a glitch... it happened after a policy rollback under the current administration removed safeguards that would have flagged the conversation. This is what deregulation actually looks like.

The Algorithm Rabbit Hole How you go from searching a recipe to somewhere you absolutely did not mean to be, and why that's not an accident.

Creativity, Books & Plagiarism If AI is writing your book, who owns it? Who created it? And what happens when someone else asked the same question and got the same answer?

Ground News Tabatha's go-to for staying informed without the algorithmic bias. It shows you how politically left or right a story leans so you can use your own discernment.
