Kelly Brabants Part 2: The Collection She Never Gave Up On | 118

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0000

This is part two of our conversation with our sister and BFF, Kelly Brabants Gallo, founder and CEO of Booty by Brabants. In part one, Kelly opened up about her journey into motherhood and marriage, her wellness approach as a new mom, and her grief and healing after losing her baby girl Celine in 2024. So many of you have reached out to us & Kelly with the most heartfelt DMs telling us it gave you hope that you can get through the hardest seasons - and truly, that's what this podcast is all about.

This week, the conversation is all about BBB (with a little surprise at the end). It's really for the Booty by Brabants community, the customers who have been with Kelly since day one. She takes us behind the scenes of a new chapter for the business: a collection she's been working to perfect since 2017. It's a fabric so many of you already know and love, and it's finally returning September 30 (we're. freaking. out.)

Kelly gets honest about the hardships behind this collection, why it took so long, how she got here, and why she feels so confident and excited about it now. Whether you're an entrepreneur, love a good small business story, or want to know what really goes into building a women-owned brand, this is a reminder of why supporting small matters. The care and integrity are real.

Stay until the end. Kelly's husband joins for a rapid fire round, shares some unbelievable marriage advice, and takes a moment to thank the BBB community for being there for their family over the past couple of years. He gets choked up, and honestly, so did we. The most special way to close out our two-part episode.

The new collection launches September 30. Shop at bootybybrabants.com

One Day At A Time: Grief, Healing + Motherhood with Kelly Brabants Gallo Pt. 1 | 117

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0000

This week, we’re joined by Kelly Brabants Gallo, founder of Booty by Brabants, Body by Brabants and The Beehive Studio, for an honest conversation about motherhood, infant loss, miscarriage, trying to conceive, and pregnancy after loss.

Kelly shares what her fitness routine looks like today, including how she maximizes a short 20-minute workout, adjusts movement for different bodies and seasons of life, and prioritizes hydration, sleep, strength training, and consistency. She also opens up about balancing motherhood with being an entrepreneur and business owner, setting boundaries, and learning not to overplan every part of life.

Kelly reflects on finding the hope and courage to try to conceive again after losing her daughter, Celine. She discusses the loneliness of miscarriage and TTC, the fear she carried throughout her subsequent pregnancy, and how EMDR therapy helped her process trauma and prepare to welcome her son, Troy.

Now four months postpartum, Kelly talks about adjusting to parenthood, returning to her businesses when she felt ready, communicating with her husband, and learning how to reconnect after disagreements. It’s a powerful conversation about resilience, presence, fitness, relationships, pregnancy after loss, and holding both grief and hope both at the same time.

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Today we're joined by Ana, the award-winning baby gear store that actually helps parents figure out what they need and what they don’t when preparing for the arrival of their baby or setting up a baby registry!

We had an amazing time visiting Ana's new showroom in Hingham, MA, where Libby was able to test out and have a "hands on" experience with SO many different types of strollers to really get a good feel of what she wanted, where we live in a world of online guessing!

Ana helped Libby break down the best stroller + car seat options for life as a mom of three, and we got into how different gear works for first-time moms, city vs. suburb living, twins, and growing families.

We also spilled on overrated baby gadgets, true must-haves, and what’s actually worth putting on your registry.

Plus, we’re doing a giveaway!

Manifestation & the Year of the Horse with Tiffany Rice | 92

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 07:41:00 +0000

What if the chaos and emotional weight of last year were actually preparing you for alignment? In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Liz sits down with celebrity spirit medium Tiffany Rice to talk about energetic shifts, the weight of motherhood, manifestation, and what’s coming next.

Tiffany explains how 2025 was the Year of the Snake, which was all about shedding: releasing old versions of ourselves, relationships that no longer fit, habits that drained us, and identities we’ve outgrown. And as we enter 2026, on February 17, the Year of the Horse begins where we move into alignment, momentum, clarity, and courage.

Liz and Tiffany talk all about maternal instinct vs. anxiety — how to tell the difference; Letting go of friendships, jobs, or dynamics that no longer serve you; Why you don’t have to habit-stack your life to be productive; Allowing yourself to sit in stillness without guilt; How manifestation actually works (and how to start); and ways to connect with loved ones who have passed.

The episode ends with a live reading. Liz’s mother-in-law comes through in a moment that is beautiful, validating, and deeply emotional.

Whether you’re curious about spiritual connection, feeling stuck in a shedding season, or just craving reassurance that you’re on the right path, this episode will leave you thinking differently!

Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage: Libby’s Third Pregnancy | 84

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 11:00:00 +0000

This week, Libby shares the story behind the happiest surprise — she’s pregnant with baby number three! But it wasn’t an easy journey. Over the past year and a half, she’s been through the highs and lows of trying to conceive, the endless ovulation strips, fertility apps, and emotional rollercoasters that come with it , and two miscarriages along the way. Since she is now pregnant & in a good place this, this episode is light yet heart felt.

Libby opens up about how social media posts hit differently during that time, what she learned after meeting with Wellesley Women’s Care, and how lab work revealing low AMH levels (aka very few eggs left) led her to prepare for IVF. Then, in an unexpected twist, she got pregnant naturally, right after a simple procedure to clear her tubes.

This is an honest, raw conversation about hope, loss, and what it means to keep believing when things don’t go according to plan.

If anyone out there is struggling with trying to conceive or pregnancy loss, know that you aren't alone. There is no guidebook to navigating this time, but we can all be there to support and uplift each other.

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Are we confident? Depends on the day — and definitely depends on what we’re talking about.

This week, Liz + Libby are talking about confidence, personal growth, motherhood, marriage, work, friendships and relationships — and how our confidence changes through every stage of life. Spoiler: sometimes you really do have to fake it ’til you make it.

Best-Friend Questions: Judgments, Secrets & Road Trip Confessions | 66

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Thu, 5 Jun 2025 14:00:00 +0000

How well do we really know each other? Let’s find out.

This week, Liz + Libby are putting their friendship to the test with questions that go way beyond “what’s your favorite color?” We’re getting into friendship, relationships, judgment, unpopular opinions, our biggest annoyances, signs we’re spiraling and the things we may—or may not—have kept from each other.

Some answers are sweet. Some are surprisingly deep. And some probably should have stayed between us.

IN THIS EPISODE:

What does Liz do that annoys Libby?
What have we judged another woman for in the past?
What do we believe that most people probably don’t?
How can you tell when each of us is spiraling?
Have we ever kept something from each other because we thought the other would judge?
If we could relive one day of our lives, which would we choose?
How well do we actually know each other?
And most importantly: if our personalities were cocktails, what would be in them?

It’s basically a deep questions girls’ night in podcast form—equal parts funny, vulnerable and maybe a little too revealing.

Grab your best friend and play along with us. And if there’s a question we should ask each other next time, send it our way.

Episode 43: A Holistic Approach to Nutrition with Dr. Ann Doggett

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 3 Apr 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Today we welcome Dr. Ann Doggett, the founder of WholeBody Solutions in Braintree, MA which is a Hollistic Wellness Center focused on healing the body from the inside out using natural remedies. Dr. Ann has over 30 years of clinical experience and has helped patients across the country through chiropractic, nutrition, herbal medicine and regenerative medicine.

Dr. Ann sits down to talk with us today about what essential nutrients the female body needs, as well as those of our children. For individual problems, she analyzes the origin of health issues and identifies underlying causes of symptoms, and then customizes treatment plans for each patient with a holistic approach, rather than western medicine. The three of us are far from being "health nuts" but we know we can't use that as an excuse to neglect the nutrients our bodies need, and we're ready to start making small changes toward a healthier lifestyle.
Doing a total overhaul of your diet can be stressful and overwhelming, we get it! but Dr. Ann is here to simplify this process and inspire us all to reach our full potential for our mind, body and soul. There are so many great takeaways in this episode, and we are so grateful to have someone as intelligent as Dr. Ann on here to be a resource for us, and for our listeners.

Episode 35: Protecting Our Kids Online with Digital Health & Safety Expert Katie Greer

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 7 Feb 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Today we are diving DEEP into the crucial world of parenting in the digital age with our special guest, internet safety expert Katie Greer! Katie is the former director of internet safety for the MA Attorney General's Office, and was directly involved with the development of one of the first internet safety programs ever.

Katie educates us on popular but problematic apps and games (ie., call of duty and discord), and some crazy stories she's encountered on them, and WOW, we were shocked to hear what really goes on behind the icons!

This episode is full of shock factors as we uncover how kids are hiding risky apps and content from their parents, and the importance of safety around technology. Our children are simply too young and not emotionally equipped to navigate that deep dark web.

We learn invaluable tips and tricks to gain insight into our children's online social lives, and strategies for reducing screen time to make sure we focus on social skills that are just so crucial for development.

The biggest takeaway for us, as parents to young children, is that the journey of safeguarding our kids begins today – don’t wait until it’s too late! Tune in now for a conversation that will revolutionize your approach to parenting in the digital era.

We explain why we take the title as "Bad Wives" and the roles our husbands play.

Liz explains how reading has become her version of self care while Laura focuses on relationships and Libby no longer people pleasing. We touch upon the "D" word, divorce, and we question, do opposites attract? We wrap up with a quick bio of what we do professionally and what a typical day in the life is as Liz, Libby and Laura.

Episode 31: Helicopter Wives

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Are you a control freak when it comes to the kids lunches, their outfits, packing for trips, scheduling their day, and delegating chores around the house to Dad? If you answered yes, you're a HELICOPTER WIFE. We're not so sure it's a terrible thing....but maybe we should put a little more trust in the Dads that they can get shit done without our psycho supervision! Yes, we like things done a certain way, but we're learning to let things go and give our husbands more credit that they can handle chaos just as good, even if it looks different to how we handle it.

On todays episode, we discuss the old fashioned "gender norms" and the roles husbands/wives and mom/dads played, and how our families function in the modern day (AKA the bad wives, where our marriages are 50/50!) The three of us vent about recent arguments between our spouses (not everything is always as peachy as you see on instagram) and how we run a household where efforts are equal in all categories. At the end, we get a little house renovation update from Libby!

We also discuss the toxicity of not only children and technology, but us parents being addicted! Let's break some bad habits in 2024 and have more "no phone" zones.

Delilah and Rocco just turned one, so we're reflecting back on this past year by discussing our biggest challenges, what we've learned, our favorite stages, and our best advice for expecting first time moms. We talk about timing of milestones (or lack thereof LOL) and trending things we did and didn't do with our little ones, such as baby lead weaning. We also talk about our experiences on introducing siblings and our different views hospital visits. We give a gentle reminder that all babies are SO different! Do what works best for you and your baby, don't let what you see other babies, or what social media is telling you your baby should be doing, get to your head. You're doing amazing!

Episode 27: What we take vs. leave from our parents' parenting styles

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 6 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Let's start off by saying we had the BEST upbringings and wouldn't change it for the world. However, we're raising children in a completely different time, which calls for some change! Today the three of us share a little insight on our upbringings and what we really valued that we'll carry on with our own. We talk about everything from gentle parenting, disciplining in public, sticking with sports/activities, "empty threats," daycare, and so much more. We learn something new everyday, and have so much respect for all the mamas out there no matter what your style may be!

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Today we discuss the spiritual, physical & emotional sides of grief. If you’re feeling the weight during this holiday season & missing a loved one, our hearts truly go out to you. As @spirittiff says, you are never truly alone. Today we have Tiffany Rice (aka @spirittiff) to help us navigate grief during this holiday season.

Spirit Tiff has an incredible ability to connect with loved ones in spirit. She’s dedicated her life’s work to provide this healing modality of comfort and validation to those going through grief. If you’re interested in reaching out to Tiff, her website is https://www.tiffanyrice.com/

In this episode you’ll hear Liz, Laura and Libby admit to their skeptisms on connecting with the other side, discussion on the stages and “tools” to navigate grief, and how to explain someone’s passing to our children.

Part 2 of this episode starts at minute 31, where Liz sits down with her cousin, Jill Hovanasian, who is the Manager of the MA & NH Alzheimer’s Association helpline program. Liz’s mother in law, Cathy, passed away at the beginning of 2023 due to early onset Alzheimer’s. It’s their first holiday season without her, so the two snuck away during Thanksgiving to have a warm and comforting conversation on Cathy’s legacy, and Jill provides tips & advice for caregivers, friends and loved ones affected by this disease.

Todays episode is with Jam'n 94.5's radio host, mom & bad wife, Ashlee Feldman! This is a vulnerable conversation and we dedicate it to all of our listeners who are feeling alone right now while navigating similar pregnancy struggles. Ashlee suffered in silence for too long from her past miscarriages. She realized that opening up & connecting with other women in her shoes has been her best therapy. We’re so grateful she chose to share her story with us, and as a podcast that constantly praises mothers/motherhood, we felt like we had to shine light on the not-so talked about issues that so many of you are experiencing. We see you, we’re here for you, and we’re rooting for you on this journey.

Minute 24 TRIGGER WARNING Ashlee goes into detail of her miscarriages, so this is the time for those who may want to skip over or come back at a later time to listen. She discusses the feeling of loneliness, the response and love that she received from her family, friends & audience, the pressure of having 2 under 2, and advice on how to support your friends going through this difficult time.
*38:30 - we talk about how her husband supports her and how she navigates social media.
*49:45 -we talk about her last emotional visit to the doctors.

Episode 21: Ready or Not

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Today starts off with a quick venting session amongst us ladies, sharing some stories over the weekend where our husbands pushed us to the edge! Then we dive right into our most requested topic - when we knew we wanted a second (or third), and what the transition was like bringing each new baby home. Liz gives us her overview of what pregnancy and life was like with her first, and the different dynamics between two siblings age differences. Laura tried for a few months with her first but had a huge surprise when she put it on pause for the holidays. Laura's second child was born (almost 2 years later) right when the pandemic hit - surviving covid babies was a different story. Then last but not least, Libby gets into her journey with the two boys, and opens up on the guilt that all moms feel - when you come home with the new baby and learning how to divide your attention amongst the baby and older sibling(s), and the struggles that come along.

Hello episode 20 !! The last Q&A was so fun, we are doing it again! Ya'll were interested in what shows we are watching, where we love to shop (even though you know our universal go to is @bootybybrabants). Liz shares an amazing pro tip she uses when styling certain pieces. One of the most asked question we frequently get is, where do we meet mom friends?! Libby has some insight on where to go, and Laura talks all about how you should consider meeting new mom friends like dating - with intention! We hit on some major mom wins, and the dynamic between our kids growing up together. We also touch on ignoring judgement from other moms, learning about your partner's love languages, and how everyone shows and receives love.

Episode 19: Tips & Tricks from a Pediatric Sleep Consultant

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the bad wives club, Stellina! Today we have Stellina Ferri from tweet dreamzz on, sharing all the tips for newborns and toddlers sleep habits and schedules! Stellina is a certified pediatric sleep consultant, a mom to 2.5 year old twin girls and a 1 year old son. She talks about her sleep (or lack thereof) experience, and her positive outlook on NICU babies. As a once sleep deprived mom, as I’m sure you can all imagine with TWINS, she’s passionate about helping newborns, toddlers and young kids get consolidated nights sleep, take predictable naps, transition from the crib to bed (which as you guys will hear, Libby is desperate to figure out!), and room sharing. We also get into all the sleep props (pacifiers, feed to sleep, etc.) and some truths vs myths on regressions, sound machines, and other things! Whether you’ve experienced sleep struggles before or are a first time mom, this episode is for you! Libby had such great success working with Stellina, and she knows you will too if you’ve been thinking about getting some extra help💜 Now through the end of October, Tweet Dreamzz is giving 10% off to all BWC listeners! Just tell them we sent you after your phone consult!

Episode 18: Time to take the trash out

badwivesclubpodcast@gmail.com (Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano) — Wed, 4 Oct 2023 07:48:00 +0000

This episode starts out with a little Jenny B recap, lip flips, an upcoming trip to NYC, and how we 10/10 recommend taking your kids to see the new paw patrol movie. Then we dive deep into today's topic - removing toxicity from your life. One major take away from this episode is that toxicity doesn’t always mean or relate to a person! It can be a bad habit, energy, excuses, negative self talk, etc. We discuss all these different types of toxicity, real life examples we've dealt with, and how we got through them.

We hit on: at what age do we stop bathing boy & girl children together; how often you should check in on your friends on maternity leave; how the three of us met; advice for our single girlies; how we keep a healthy lifestyle; transitioning to multiples, and what we think is the hardest. Laura vents about the rut she’s currently in with her husband, and how we all get out of those funks.

Our very own relationship expert and matchmaker, Laura Kenney, gives us all the details on love languages and the importance of knowing both you and your partners love language, how you can strengthen your relationship by keeping these languages in mind, and saying YES more! We talk about our favorite type of date nights and how we can (or NEED) to make the time for them. Liz talks about her major bust of a surprise plan she had for her husband and shares the best piece of relationship advice she’s ever got. Libby gets vulnerable and opens up about her self-diagnosed “post-partum rage” and gives us all the emotions on how she got through it with the help of her husband.
