We had such a fun time getting to sit down and chat with one of our most seasoned friends from our party days, Meg Perry! She so graciously shares with us everything from her unexpected pregnancy to her traumatic birth story to her divorce and the logistical struggles of coparenting. Sarah ‘s been traveling, Joy needs a new car and Meg is recovering from a case of vertigo. Join us.

About our guest:
Originally from Oklahoma City, Meg Perry is a Nashville-based mom of an 11-year-old son. In 2004, she moved to Nashville with dreams of becoming a singer, gave up on that immediately, spent 15 years teaching Spanish, and somehow ended up in real estate. Things mostly didn’t go as planned — but she loves life and is always trying to figure it out, usually while co-parenting and stressed AF.

Joy invites on Activist and OG mom friend, Colleen Weiss, to give us the dose of hope and motivation that we, as mothers, could all use right now. Sarah shares about her magical trip to New Orleans, Joy is applying to high schools and Colleen needs her kids to go to school for at least one full week.

Trigger Warning: We discuss current events including ICE and the Epstein Files.

About our guest: Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, Colleen moved to Nashville in 2009 by way of Brooklyn, New York. She’s worn many hats over the years, from waiting tables, to custom menswear slinger, to her current role as a real estate agent. Personally knowing the benefits of homeownership, she is particularly passionate about helping first time homebuyers.

After the Covenant shooting in 2023 she began regularly showing up to the state capitol where she learned the ins and outs of TN state politics. Since that time her activism work has grown, most recently with the creation of the Angelic Dissenters podcast. A weekly update on the TN General Assembly and the harmful policies being introduced.

When not yelling in the streets, she can be found at home in East Nashville with her husband and two daughters Mabel and Josie.

The girls sit down with their first official guest of Season 5, Randa Newman! We delve into Randa’s background, including her adoption from South Korea to a family in Kentucky and she shares her personal journey through an ectopic pregnancy, IVF, and the challenges of balancing motherhood with career. Join us!
