Lindsie welcomes Becky Hayter to the podcast! Becky gets deeply personal about the reality of her first few months as a non-birthing mother, the lack of an immediate bond with her son, and the difficult but intentional process of building their family through IVF and a known donor. Lindsie addresses her two most recent public mishaps: a troll used her photo to attack another influencer, and the very poorly timed "happy ice days" IG stories. Plus, they discuss their biggest adult "icks", possibly going to their 20th Highschool reunion, and Becky explains that scissoring is indeed a sex act that exists.
