Bagels and Braving Roadtrips with Courtney Chase | The Big F*cking Feelings Podcast | Episode 8

03/31/25 • 46 min

We braved the bagel discourse. We swapped road trip survival tips. We summoned a super hero and Baby Daddy. And we did it all with our very first guest: Courtney Chase—former child actor, real-life Gerber Baby, and current badass mom-of-two.

In this extra-toasty episode of The BFF Podcast, Jenna and Ashley welcome Courtney to talk about the chaos, comedy, and questionable snack choices that come with traveling with kids, the magic of New York bagels, and why patience is basically a superpower with a car seat.

🎒 Expect:

🥯 A passionate defense of egg everything bagels

🧳 Pandemic road trip horror stories

💥 The deeply weird lore of “Baby Daddy” the doll

😳 The art of NOT handing out bribe bags to strangers on flights

🧘‍♀️ How to stay Zen when your child becomes feral at 30,000 feet

Plus, a toast to delirious road snacks, dirty cupholders, and why we don’t leash our children... but we get it.

This might be our wildest yet. Hit play, grab a snack (preferably not from a car floor), and let the chaos comfort you.

Lasagna and Learning To Say No | The Big F*cking Feelings Podcast | Episode 7

What do lasagna and boundaries have in common? They both rely on layers, heat, and a little bit of mess to come together beautifully.

In this deliciously unfiltered episode of The Big F*cking Feelings Podcast, Jenna and Ashley serve up homemade lasagna (with a controversial cottage cheese twist 😳) and plunge headfirst into the art of saying no. From guilty cancellations and people-pleasing spirals to empowering their kids to speak up for themselves, they explore how saying no can be an act of self-respect, not rebellion.

🍷 Also inside:

🥄 The real reason lasagna tastes like a therapy session

🥊 Why toddlers might be the best no-sayers on the planet

💅 How to stop over-explaining and start protecting your peace

👑 And a toast to Garfield, excessive cheese, and unapologetic boundaries

Pull up a plate, pour the wine, and let’s talk boundaries.

Danishes and Dramaticity | The Big F*cking Feelings Podcast | Episode 9

We came for the pastries. We stayed for the plot twists. And the dog pee.

In this delightfully offbeat episode, Jenna and Ashley unpack the art of dramaticity...a totally made-up word that absolutely belongs in the dictionary. From bakery betrayals to Kroger danish emergencies, this one’s layered like a croissant and twice as flaky.

Expect:
🥐 A pastry detour that ends with anatomical desserts
🎭 The difference between being dramatic and being a whole drama
🐶 A dog escape, a brave sneaker rescue, and nervous peeing (not ours, promise)
💇‍♀️ Clip-on bangs and the quiet despair they carry
💔 The middle school moment that still lives rent-free in Ashley’s soul

It’s real, ridiculous, and surprisingly relatable...because sometimes adulthood is just carbs, chaos, and trying not to cry in the bakery aisle.
