65: From Teenage Terrorist to Wise, Gentle Midwife with Ash Johnsdottir

The smartest Bledsoe sis, Ash, is BACK to get into all things midwifery, pregnancy, giving birth, and postpartum care. Ash is an absolute wealth of knowledge and as a certified professional midwife, she isn't giving fraudulently uncredentialed, bad advice like Chanler and I do regularly. Ash tells us all about why a home birth is actually safer for women in many cases than a hospital birth and explains the truly shocking statistic that over thirty percent of babies are delivered by C-section in US hospitals. She gets into pregnancy nutrition advice and explains why it is so critical to stay active and eat mindfully during pregnancy. Finally, she tells us about her scariest moment as a midwife and gives some truly phenomenal advice about how to emotionally grapple with not having a good birth experience. Ash is incredible and we are so happy to have her back on the pod. Can't get enough of Pop Apologists?! Join us on Patreon where we release a brand new, additional episode every Friday!

27: Reformation Stock Plummets Thx 2 Lily James

This week we offer financial advice...as two women who just asked their listeners for money, promptly followed up with a passionate ode to our new fav purchase that we can't shut up about. Chanler then issues a stern rebuke against Dominic West and Lily James, while Lauren laments the sad reality exposed by the lovebirds: no one looks as great as they thought they would in a Reformation dress. We then go on an emotionally charged journey where we examine why a certain influencer's oatmeal triggered Lauren so deeply and why depictions of hyper-thin celebrities and film characters (like Emily in Paris) eating with abandon is unrealistic/damaging/a mindf*ck for young girls. Finally, we discuss some of our fav influencers to follow that champion body positivity, share a stunning fake ad, and end with a gentle plea on bended knee from Lauren that national holidays on instagram be henceforth prohibited by law.

8: Au Pair Nightmére

This week we dive into it all. Like nannies everywhere being forced to quarantine with their bosses around the clock thanks to Corona. Lauren reveals her own nanny nightmare spent in the South of France that led to a transatlantic rescue by Deb and 14-year old Chanler. Chanler wistfully recounts her LA life and identity coming to a close this week. We offer our thoughts on the pivotal end of an era VPR finale, wherein Lauren exposes a passionate and potentially unhinged defense of Jax Taylor. And of course we share other unhinged thoughts about the real housewives...and their husbands. We also cover the astonishing results of our Tom Girardi hot or not poll on IG and a bit of arm chair psychology regarding what the hell is going on with Dorinda Medley. Buckle in, baby.
