  • Hitting the Mother Load! Motherhood Musings and Netflix Specials with Rosebud Baker!

    Hitting the Mother Load! Motherhood Musings and Netflix Specials with Rosebud Baker!
    Jun 16 2025
    Comedian and writer Rosebud Baker joins the show fresh off the release of her Netflix special, The Mother Lode, which is an absolute must-watch for anyone who's pregnant, postpartum, or just deep in the chaos of mom life. Filmed half while she was 8 months pregnant and half about a year into motherhood, Rosebud’s special is laugh-out-loud funny, painfully relatable, and brilliantly honest. Sarah knew immediately after watching it that she had to get Rosebud on Bottle Service to share some laughs, talk real talk about the transition into motherhood, and celebrate the absurd, messy, beautiful ride that is becoming a parent. Expect giggles, truth bombs, and that rare kind of comic relief only another mom can deliver. Want more from Rosebud? Instagram: @rosebudbaker Watch: The Mother Lode on Netflix! See her LIVE!

In this episode, Sarah chats about some sneaky ways we unknowingly sabotage our own hormone recovery. From sleep habits to "mom breakfast" to trying to bounce back too quickly, we’re breaking down 5 surprisingly common ways new moms can throw their hormones out of whack, and most importantly, how to fix them!

From the conventional to the downright strange, she shares the wide range of things she’s tried in an effort to manage it—from therapy and medication to supplements, peptides, and more. Whether you're in the thick of it, have been there before, or want to better understand what so many new moms silently go through, this episode is a raw, compassionate, and much-needed reminder that you're not alone.
