This week the girls introduce the Stay Rooted Moody Mix playlist so that you can vibe out with what the girls have been listening to on repeat lately. 

Stephani and Lauren have had a whole bunch of hobbies, and they cannot lie.. the girls have trouble committing to what they do with their "me time", but they're willing to try all the things. There's laughs, stories, and games the whole way through this episode! What will they do next?

Stephani and Lauren talk fungi and family video gaming on this weeks episode. The girls are chatting about song censorship, Mario party character hierarchy, and everything in between. If there's one this about the ladies of Stay Rooted, they're going to tell you something. Stephani gives some hot takes, while Lauren tries to figure out why her second born is eating out of the dog bowl.

Let's all set our intentions for what's to come next, and set our alarm clocks for school drop off.

Stephani and Lauren are checking in on what they have done with the planets, and how it's effecting their bad luck streaks. The ladies go over preventative medicine, and remind you that's there's no escaping the trauma. Then shift gears to the wonderful world of library fees, we're learning how outrageous they can truly get, and the wild individuals that dedicate their lives to defending those policies and procedures.

Stephani and Lauren proudly present, the movie episode! The girls love a good theme and a heavy aesthetic, and they are here to discuss the films that made them feel things. There will be nostalgia, drama, and adventure around every conversational corner. They're talking all things big screen from the comfort of their little pod.

Stephani and Lauren are back for another journey through rambling conversation. They're here to discuss chicken character flaws, and a fool proof way to tell them apart. The ladies also chat about how size does make the homestead. Micro-Homesteading is the concept that every modern "farmer" could get down with. Because it's not the size of your garden, but rather the IG photo that you post of your 4 tomato's that truly counts.

Stephani and Lauren are here to talk all things that are roles in a relationship, and no we’re not talking gender roles (ew). They dive into their Hoochie Daddy vs Golden Zaddy husbands and even give them a chance to throw in some opinions… without actually handing over a mic. If there’s one thing about the Stay Rooted gals, they’re gonna incorporate an F, Marry, Kill and a Would You Rather whenever it’s possible. Enter our latest Stay Rooted giveaway.

Stephani and Lauren chat about some fan feedback and try to digest the fact that you guys are actually listening to & rooting for us too! The jury is  still out on the validity of Lauren’s Girl Scout memories & whether or not Stephani’s reoccurring dreams actually mean anything at all. If you’re into conspiracy theories with little to no information to back them, you’re gonna love what they have to say about 'Disney’s AI Cartel Sharks' that are taking over the ocean as we (kind of) know it… 

Welcome to The Newly Pod Game! Stephani and Lauren are your dueling hosts, and no small detail is left unshared. Listen as the ladies discuss 90s characters that fit their personality, pick each other's spirit animal, and laugh through segments that they dreamed up! Grab your popcorn, it's time to play!

Stephani and Lauren are full of hot takes that no one asked for… but spoiler alert: they’re gonna tell you about them. They dive into each others cups of tea and try to decide whether or not they should be teaching their kids to read and write. Half-hearted apologies are kind of made, but also, are octopus just aliens sent by our instagram FBI agents to rule the ocean?? Put on your tin foil hats, it’s the misguided & baseless conspiracy episode no one was waiting for.
