This week, Jodie and Celia talk about the idea of the “nuclear family” – and decide it’s kind of B.S. They discuss the guilt that comes up for single moms who don’t have cookie-cutter families, and the ways in which they’ve created chosen families that create a wider, more diverse network of support than the traditional family structure. And somehow, all roads lead to Celia’s butt. Merch: https://unsweetined.com/ Instagram: @neverthoughtidsaythis Facebook: @neverthoughtidsaythis Email: neverthou...

This week Jodie and Celia are joined by Brenda Strong, who along with being an actress is a yoga teacher and a pioneer of yoga for fertility. The ladies talk about the stigma that comes with infertility, and the shame that society places on all aspects of both being a mother and not being a mother. Brenda offers some tools for embracing all experiences - good and bad - and Celia opens up about her secondary infertility and the way that Brenda’s teachings helped her through it. Then Jodie forgets...

Jodie and Celia are back for the second installment of their Pandemic Special. This time, the ladies take a detour to share some pre-coronavirus stories: the special adventures of Lulu and Bea, Bea “running away,” Jodie and Celia breaking their bodies, and Celia showing her pedicurist porn (on accident!). Then, they talk about being present and reconnecting in the face of the current panic, and issue a PSA: with all this extra time on your hands, don’t put weird things up your butt. Merch: https...

Jodie and Celia are dispatching to you from the COVID-19 pandemic this week – something they never thought they’d say. First thing to know is that Celia is drunk. Second is that along with discussing how the pandemic is affecting their lives, they manage to find the humor in a bad situation, as they always do. So this episode is filled with laughs, an insane new expression from the brilliant mind of Jodie Sweetin, butt humor, and Picante Clamato. Merch: https://unsweetined.com/ Instagram: @never...

This week the ladies sit down with the musician Lisa Loeb! They talk about how Lisa became a children’s musician (before she was a mom), and how the best music for kids to listen to has a high level of cleverness, storytelling, and humor – whether it’s made specifically for kids or not. They discuss radical self-acceptance in kids AND adults, and how Los Angeles is a great place to learn it. Plus, kids eat the grossest things.

Jodie and Celia are joined by Dancing With The Stars alum Kym Johnson, the first mom with twins to grace the podcast! The ladies share memories of new motherhood, the horrors of breastfeeding, and mom guilt. Then they dive deep into body image – how rough it is for moms postpartum, and how rough it is for kids when they reach puberty. But in an ironic twist, Celia tells her daughter she has “FUPA” in a craptastic parenting moment for the ages. If you don’t know what that is, you will soon! Merch...

Jodie and Celia have reached that inevitable point when their older daughters have become cooler than them. They talk about the impossibility of clothes shopping with middle schoolers (especially for a first dance) and the insanity of school dress codes. They also totally out themselves as lame moms (they don’t think TikTok videos are funny, they don’t understand slang, etc.) and they’re NOT ASHAMED.

This week, Jodie and Celia talk about having anxiety and depression, parenting through mental illness and grief, and how they talk to their kids about it. Because a serious topic never gets in the way of these two having a good, off-the-rails time, they manage to laugh through the discussion, sexualize Olaf from Frozen, and joke about “sacks” with Jodie’s daughter. Yeah, those sacks. Merch: https://unsweetined.com/ Instagram: @neverthoughtidsaythis Facebook: @neverthoughtidsaythis Email: neverth...

Jodie and Celia sit down with their good friend and security expert, Jeff Serber, to discuss how to keep your kids (and yourself) safe online. Jeff breaks down just how easy it is for someone to find your kid in the real world from their online profiles (yes – even if they are set to “private”), explains how to teach kids to set hard boundaries with adults that make them uncomfortable, and, naturally, uncovers that Celia’s upcoming Tinder date is a sex offender.

Jodie, Celia, and Debbie Matenopoulos get even more real than usual on the podcast today! They discuss how necessary it is to lie to your own children sometimes (did you know they'll send four-year-olds to jail?!), how hard it is not to raise an entitled child, and when to admit to your kids that you were wrong. Plus, Debbie shares some hilarious quotes from moms hanging on by a thread. Merch: https://unsweetined.com/ Instagram: @neverthoughtidsaythis Facebook: @neverthoughtidsaythis Email: neve...

Jodie and Celia talk to Jill Trinchero, founder and CEO of an edible cannabis snack company, about being a business-owner and cannabis advocate while also being a mom. Celia shares how cannabis helped her through postpartum depression, and Jodie weighs in on the social stigma of cannabis as a sober, objective observer. And somehow, there’s a lot of discussion about dung beetles and vaudeville to go along with it. Merch: https://unsweetined.com/ Instagram: @neverthoughtidsaythis Facebook: @nevert...
