Sister Trips & Shenanigans

Some of our best memories started with a trip we didn't even plan!

In this episode, we're taking a trip down memory lane and talking about how our sister vacations started, how they evolved into surprise visits and spontaneous getaways, and why the unplanned trips always seem to be the best ones. From trips where not everyone could make it to bringing our daughters along, we're sharing unforgettable moments, excursions, different budgets, and the days we really let loose!

And if there's one thing we've learned, it's that we...


Sisters, Sermons, & Separate Plans

The Fisher Girls are together in person! We spent the weekend celebrating our mom's 80th birthday with all the sisters, and of course, we had plenty to unpack!

In this episode, we talk about sister trips, family dynamics, and how sometimes the best memories happen when you stop trying to do everything together and just enjoy yourself.

We also get into attending church in person versus online, our different experiences growing up in church, the importance of music, and what we appreciate in a good sermon. We're talking about...


Blood, Boundaries, & Accountability

Everyone has an opinion about what you should forgive, let go of, or tolerate—but what happens when they weren't the ones who lived through it?

In this episode, we have an honest conversation about accountability, family dynamics, and the lasting impact of abuse. Tamara opens up about her experiences, the challenges of writing her book, and what it feels like when someone tells you they love the very person who caused you so much pain. We also discuss navigating conversations with people who refuse to take accountability, respecting experiences we ha...


Concern or Control

There's a fine line between checking on someone because you care and asking questions because you want to be in their business. And before you ask, are you really prepared for the answer?

In this episode, we talk about respecting people's boundaries, accepting them for who they are, and understanding that not everyone wants to share everything. Sometimes we're not withholding information—we simply don't have anything new to tell you!

We also get into why the younger generation seems to struggle with minor inconveniences, how our children learned th...


Grief, Ghosting, & Goodbyes

Send us Fan Mail

What happens when you're grieving someone who's still alive? Or when you're expected to mourn someone you barely knew?

In this episode, we unpack a week filled with ghosting, unanswered questions, and unexpected family tragedy. We talk about grieving relationships that have changed or ended, navigating complicated family connections after divorce, and whether we should continue the tradition of making children attend funerals when they don't feel connected to the person who passed.

We also discuss how closure looks different for everyone, the importance of having honest conversations with...


Sorry for You, But I Choose Me

Sometimes the waiting and isolation aren’t punishment—they’re preparation.

In this episode, we talk about trusting God when it feels like nothing is changing, recognizing the lessons that keep showing up until we finally learn them, and doing the work on ourselves in the meantime. We also unpack what friendship looks like in this season: having healthy conversations even when we disagree, expecting reciprocation, and no longer sitting around waiting for someone else to choose us.

We’re learning, we’re sharper, and we’re moving forward. We can love...


You Can’t Sacrifice Forever

When money is tight, you’ve lost a job, or life just isn’t going according to plan, it’s easy to convince yourself that you’re not allowed to enjoy anything until everything is “fixed.”

In this episode, we talk about the difference between being responsible and putting your entire life on hold. There are seasons when sacrifice is necessary—but sacrifice can’t be the permanent plan. We talk about giving yourself permission to still make memories, experience joy, and actually live while you’re figuring things out.

Because...


AND SUDDENLY…

For the past month, we’ve both been hearing the same message: AND SUDDENLY.

In this episode, we talk about the season we’ve been in and the one we believe we’re preparing to step into. From changes at work and new business opportunities to new ventures, school starting, bills, and the everyday pressure of trying to keep everything moving—some seasons can make you wonder when things are finally going to turn around.

But what if this season isn’t just something to get through? What if it...


Traditions, Transitions & Letting Go

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, Bekah shares about her new book, The Tables That Raised Us, and we talk about the traditions we grew up with—the ones we’ve kept, the ones we’ve made our own, and the ones we’ve had to question and decide whether they still belong in our lives.

That leads us into another kind of letting go: our kids getting older and making decisions for themselves. We talk about how hard that transition can be as single parents, especially when Dad isn’t actively in the pic...


Everybody's Got Something

In this episode, we're all over the place—in the best way.

We kick things off by talking about our favorite movies, the ones we can watch over and over, and the ones that are just too hard to revisit. From there, the conversation naturally turns to raising adult children, how those relationships change over time, and why parenting doesn't necessarily get easier—it just gets different.

Tamara shares what she's preparing for as senior year approaches, while we reflect on how differently we were raised as teenagers compared to o...

Do kids really think parents magically exist to solve every problem?

In this episode, we unpack the expectations our kids have of us, what they think happens when they turn 18, and why advice from parents often goes in one ear and out the other. We compare our own teenage years to theirs, laugh about the lessons we had to learn the hard way, and ask the question every parent eventually asks:

Did we really listen to our parents any better?

From growing into adulthood to...

In this episode, we share a glimpse into Bekah's book, I Thought I Was Fine, and how moving throughout our childhood shaped the way we formed attachments—to people, places, and even our belongings.

We also reflect on the punishments and consequences we experienced growing up and how they've influenced the way we parent today. Along the way, we discuss the importance of understanding Scripture in context, how easy it is to adopt someone else's interpretation as absolute truth, and why questioning what we've always been taught isn't the sa...


The Good, The Bad, and The Churchy

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, we unpack our experiences growing up in Christian schools, attending church, and being immersed in Christian culture from an early age. We talk about the expectations placed on us, the messages we received about mistakes and failure, and what happens when questions aren't welcomed.

We also discuss deconstructing religion, navigating faith as adults, Christian music, church culture, and why so many people struggle when they're taught what to believe but not how to process life's hard questions.

This isn't a conversation about abandoning faith—it's about ex...


Things We Wish We Didn't Know (and Wish We Knew Sooner)

In this episode, we talk about the experiences we wish we'd known before we learned them the hard way-- and some things we wish we didn't know.

From relationships and adulthood to family dynamics and life in general, we reflect on the conversations that never happened when we were growing up and how that shaped us. We also discuss why we're much more open and forthcoming with our own kids, believing that knowledge, honesty, and communication prepare them better than silence ever could.

Some lessons are unavoidable. Others could...


Fear, Respect, and Our Kids Could Never

In this episode, we're asking a question that might make some people uncomfortable:

Were we respectful... or were we just scared?

We unpack the difference between fear and respect, sharing stories from our childhood and comparing them to how our own kids would respond today. From "the look" to unspoken household rules, we reflect on what shaped us, what we're keeping, and what we're changing as parents.

Along the way, we talk about generational differences, parenting styles, and why understanding the "why" behind behavior matters...


Education, Expectations, and Emotional Health

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, we unpack the pressure this generation of kids faces — from school expectations to figuring out what they actually want their lives to look and feel like, not just what job title sounds successful.

We talk about how we were raised to obey without questioning, and why we’re choosing a different approach with our own kids: educating instead of restricting, teaching the “why” behind decisions, and allowing natural consequences to do the teaching instead of fear and control.

This conversation is about breaking generational patterns, redefining success...


Unpacking Narcissism in Real Life

We’re continuing the conversation from our hiatus — but this time, we’re going deeper.

In this episode, we talk about narcissism — not from a textbook, but from lived experience. We unpack the signs we didn’t recognize at the time, the patterns that kept us stuck, and how manipulation can look like love when you don’t know what you’re looking at.

From charm to control, confusion to clarity — we share what we went through, what we’ve learned, and what we want other women to recognize sooner.

In this episode, we catch you up on real life: Tamara shares what it’s been like having her oldest back home and navigating his next steps with Job Corp, plus a situation with her kids’ dad that tested her boundaries in real time. Bekah opens up about coming back to Texas for her birthday, trying to balance family time without overextending herself, and what it looks like to trust God while waiting for clarity on what’s next.

 In this episode, we get real about dating after divorce — the red flags we ignored, the lessons we keep relearning, and why some situationships just won’t die. We talk about the cycle of backtracking, the emotional receipts we’re holding, and how to finally stop entertaining men who’ve already shown us who they are. No judgment. Just truth, laughter, and a little tough love.

In this episode, we unpack what the holidays really revealed — from the unspoken family dynamics to the boundaries we didn’t know we needed until it was too late. We talk traditions we’ve kept, the ones we’ve left behind, and how we're showing up differently in this new season of life.

Because once the decorations come down, what’s left behind can say a lot about where you are — and who you’re becoming. Let’s talk about that part.

This one’s a heart check. We talk about the power of releasing what no longer serves you — expectations, relationships, and the weight of what people should have been. Tamara shares the meaning behind her release letter and the emotional difference between physical hurt and the scars that come from words, gaslighting, and betrayal.

We open up about being cheated on (and cheated with), accepting crumbs while serving full-course love, and how easy it is to lose yourself trying to be enough. But here’s the truth: you were never asking for to...

In this episode, we share our focus words for 2026 and why intention isn’t just a cute journal prompt — it’s a practice. We talk about how we’re bringing more purpose into both our personal lives and workplaces, especially in environments that lack proper training or support. From using our own tools and systems to keep things flowing, to creating processes that help us breathe easier — this is about doing better, not just doing more.

Your word for the year matters — but how you live it out loud matters even more.

 In this episode, we talk about not feeling seen, over-performing while enabling coworkers, and why it’s okay not to be okay. From emotional regulation in professional spaces to setting boundaries that put your kids before your job — this is for anyone who’s ever held it together on the outside while falling apart inside.
We also break down the difference between girl talk and real coaching/therapy, and why knowing who you can talk out loud with matters.

From shifting dynamics to hard truths, we open up about how our relationships with our children have changed as they’ve grown — and how we’ve had to grow right along with them.

We touch on our recently watched show Reasonable Doubt, surviving toxic relationships, naming domestic violence, and why we’re committed to talking about all of it — not just the good stuff. New episodes drop every Tuesday, short and sweet.
