Hi Sisters, I had to share this INCREDIBLE website that helps you find your perfect beauty products. (and no, we are not getting paid - we just love it!) I have been in the beauty industry for decades, so I get asked all the time, "what moisturizer should I use?" or "what is the best mascara?" and they are really hard questions to answer because it all depends on you. That's the beauty (ha!) of Hi-BB. You do an an easy diagnosis and you get great recos for products that are exactly right for you. And the service is free! The website is www.hi-bb.com or check out the link in our bio.

It's summah, Sisters! Time for some straight talk...and a good laugh or 20. Luckily, we've got veteran comic Jackie Kashian on the show to help with both.
We talk with Jackie about women's long struggle to get equal recognition in comedy, cancel culture and her road to sobriety and somehow she makes it all hilarious. LISTEN NOW https://apple.co/4ce9QHA

Happy Mother's Day, Sisters! We hope it will be a joyful one for you and your families.
As we know well, our relationships with our moms can run the emotional gamut over the lifespan. We also know that some moms are made for mothering (or work really hard at it!), while some simply fall short because of circumstances they can't (or don't know how to) control.
In Liz Scheier's beautiful, honest memoir, Never Simple, she describes her difficult and complex relationship with her mother, Judith. As a result of Judith's borderline personality disorder (BPD), Liz's childhood was fraught with chaos and volatility.
When Liz was 18 years old, her mother dropped two bombshells. One, that her mom had been married for most of the previous two decades to a man Liz had never heard of. And second, that everything she had told Liz about the man she’d claimed was Liz's dead father was entirely fictional. Never Simple is Liz's story about what happened next.
We loved our illuminating and intimate conversation with Liz -- and you will, too.

While this is amusing it’s also frustrating! We, as women, have been trained to hide all the things that go on with our bodies - our periods, our pregnancy issues and of course menopause. No, we don’t have to over-share but we should not be ashamed either. We need to normalize and discuss our issues. And, we should have the appropriate heath care, working conditions and schedule flexibility that our bodies need to function healthfully. #womenshealth #womensupportingwomen #menopause #sisters #sisterscrackingup #healthyafter50 #betterlife #betterafter50
We love Steven Petrow for many reasons: he's funny, he's smart, he's a kickass writer, and he's tirelessly devoted to his beloved family.
Sadly, Steven lost his younger sister, Julie Petrow Cohen, to ovarian cancer in June 2023. From all accounts, Julie led a life that priortized joy, professionalism, social justice, and family. In essence, she lived her life in full throttle.
At the end of her life, Julie chose when to die, accessing a little-known right in her state of New Jersey to die with dignity -- also known as Medical Aid in Dying (MAID). (MAID is currently an option in 9 states and Washington, D.C.)
Steven promised his beloved sister he would write about her experience and choice so that others may learn about and consider this option if needed. In a New York Times article entitled, "I Promised My Sister I Would Write About How She Chose to Die," Steven did just that. The article, not surprisingly, resonated with thousands.
Listen in as Steven talks about losing his beloved sister, how their shared experiences and humor bonded them, and what he's learned about the grief journey.

I had the pleasure of visiting Abby in her annual trip to California. And (as usual) we had a blast! #lalaland #Los Angeles #naomi #sisters #california #sisterscrackingup
Bottom line: Treat her how you’d like to be treated. It’s that simple.
More and more, women are lowering their tolerance for bullsh*t, raising their standards, and expecting more in relationships — and we are loving and supporting them every step of the way!

Inside the Mind of a Narcissist
Hey, Sisters. We can't seem to take a breath these days without hearing some new thing about narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder. How 'bout you?
Enter social media's The Nameless Narcissist, Jacob Skidmore. He's all over your feeds talking about his own diagnosis of NPD -- and helping millions of people in the process understand the narcissists in their lives.
Our conversation with Jacob was honest, refreshing, and (at times) disturbing, as he unveiled the inner workings, thoughts, and motivations of a someone with a diagnosis of NPD.
Cluster B personality disorders (of which NPD is one) will never fail to capture our imaginations, raise our ire, and make us scratch our heads. But so much of what we think we know about the people who suffer from these mental illnesses is rarely from the horse's mouth.
Listen in as The Nameless Narcissist pulls back the curtain on how narcissists feel (or not), and why they behave the way they do -- even when they know they're hurting those they claim to love.
Abby and Julie open the episode discussing Karens. Who are they? And what defines a Karen?

Menopause and Reinvention
This is NOT your mother's menopause, Sisters! Yes, it is the time of life when you can no longer procreate (Hallelujah to that!), but it's also the time of life to start creating the life YOU want. Don't believe it? Our guest, Julie Gordon White, will surely change your mind.
To kick off the new year, in this episode, we talk to Julie about health, mental health, wellness, and nutrition, and how all of those things connect in menopause. We also discuss how small shifts can bring about big changes. LISTEN NOW https://bit.ly/47dHUAg

Women and ADHD
Hey, Sisters, could this be YOU? (It's us, that's for sure!)
Another day, another misdiagnosis of a disorder that plagues so many women. It's common for symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) to be overlooked or "explained away" by professionals as depression, anxiety, or overwhelm when it shows up in women.
Chances are, if you suspect you have this diagnosis, it's gone undiagnosed since you were little. And all the while you've beaten yourself up wondering why you simply can't be as organized or focused as you perceive others to be.
The good news is there's Sari Solden, M.S. And thankfully we have her on this episode of Sisters Cracking Up. Both of us have been dogged by the symptoms of ADD for years and we're just starting to recognize the impact it's had on our lives. If you suspect you may have this diagnosis as well, don't ignore it or wish it away -- there's practical, life-changing help!

Ever wonder what's actually going on in your body during menopause? And why we can have some really uncomfortable symptoms when we're going through it?
Hot flashes, crankiness, and exhaustion are just some of the things you might experience. Did you know these are all caused by the hormonal changes that accompany this time of life? And that symptoms can show up as early as your 30s?
Did you also know there are tried and true treatments for your symptoms that will help you manage through menopause?
Kate Wells is our guest and she is an expert on all things menopause and hormones. Kate is the co-founder of Parlor Games LLC, a company that specializes in solutions for women's health around menopause and beyond. Women's health is complex -- the hormones that govern much of our lives from puberty to menopause have a huge impact in overall wellness. After menopause, instead of a balanced state, women are often in a state of hormone insufficiency which has a profound impact on their physical, mental, and emotional health. With a line of products supporting women's health and a focus on education, Parlor Games has already changed the lives of thousands of women with their commitment to science, sisterhood, and solutions.

Not all domestic violence looks the same. Carmen Maria Machado’s memoir, In the Dreamhouse, may just be the reframe we all need to cleanse our lives, society, and souls of this sh*tty scourge. Read it for everyone you love — including you.
