Are We Doing This? Movies, Motherhood, Money… and Almost Reality TV
In this episode, LB and LP get real about motherhood, money, and the elusive search for balance. From Mother’s Day reflections to summer survival strategies with kids, they cover it all — with detours into the world of film (Wicked, Conclave, and A Complete Unknown), podcast rabbit holes, and a possible kid cameo. LP spills the financial details of her cake biz — and that one time a reality TV producer slid into her DMs. LB keeps chasing that ever-elusive sweet spot gig, and together, they tackle fame, nostalgia, and figuring it all out one messy moment at a time.
