Everything’s not awful: first female trainer of the Kentucky Derby - Cherie DeVaux, come from behind win for Golden Tempo with jockey Jose Ortiz. 

Tech Tip of the Week (Visit @sagesisterspodcast for how to video)

Netflix quietly added YouTube creators to kids' profiles and we are not here for it. Salish Matter — hard pass.

Here is how to block specific creators without wiping out all their content. Go to Netflix on a browser, Account → Profile & Parental Controls → select your child's profile → Viewing Restrictions → search and block by title. Also set a Profile Lock PIN so they can't just switch profiles.

(Mark Rober's CrunchLabs stays though. That one earned it.)

]]> parenting, mom-life, sisters, friendships, technology for kids No Know Yourself Better — Anxiety, Enneagrams & the Tools That Actually Help 78 78 Know Yourself Better — Anxiety, Enneagrams & the Tools That Actually Help full 5fa3c961-984d-4f48-9b9f-c06f3e22b14b https://share.transistor.fm/s/a5c036a7 We are talking about something we get asked about a lot — anxiety management and the tools that are actually working in real life. Not the generic advice. The real stuff.

This week we dig into what Simple, Gentle, Easy looks like as a daily practice — how to recognize when you are in a hard season and intentionally calibrate toward content, conversations, and moments that bring your nervous system down rather than up. Kate shares the daily tracking tool she uses to rate her own energy and how it has changed the way she moves through hard days.

And then we go deep on the Enneagram — specifically how knowing your own type and the types of the people closest to you can be one of the most powerful tools for anxiety management, patience, and self understanding you will ever find. We talk about our own types: Type 8 wing 7 — the Challenger with a Enthusiast edge — and Type 3 wing 2 — the Achiever with a Helper heart — and what it looks like to work with those energies instead of against them. Knowing your own type and the types of the people closest to you changes everything. It builds patience, it builds grace, and it genuinely helps you show up better for yourself and everyone around you.

Tech Tip: Sometimes you just have to give up!!

]]> parenting, mom-life, sisters, friendships, technology for kids No What to do when kids are mean? 76 76 What to do when kids are mean? full 3c678120-c041-4ec0-8241-036e5635b758 https://share.transistor.fm/s/357ef1b7 Mean comments. Leaving someone out. A group chat that spirals. Every parent dreads the moment their child comes home and says, "nobody played with me today." But knowing how to respond — without overreacting, underreacting, or accidentally making things worse — is genuinely hard.

In this episode, we break down the real difference between bullying and kids just being mean (and why that distinction changes everything about what you do next), when to step in as a parent versus when to let your child work it out, and how to give kids the actual skills to handle social friction on their own. We're also talking about body language and confidence cues that kids send without realizing it, what to do when the mom group chat goes sideways, and how to protect your child's self-worth through all of it.

Because the goal isn't to shield your kid from every hard social moment — it's to raise one who knows how to handle them.

Tech Tip: Unsubscribe from old stuff in emails, consume less news before you are ready!

What actually works, what is overhyped, how do you start with injectables without looking like a completely different person, and what does a real skincare routine look like for a busy mom in her 40s. Dr. Sanford gives us the real talk on what to do at home, what is worth spending money on, what perimenopause does to your skin that nobody warns you about, and the one thing every woman in her 40s should be doing right now. Never hurts to ask the experts so you don't have to figure it out alone. This one is for every mom who wants to look and feel great and has absolutely no time for nonsense.

Tech tip:   Turn off short in YouTube and avoid any platform with Shorts/doom scrolling. 


A new global study tied to the World Happiness Report 2026 once again ties popular social media like Instagram and TikTok to poorer mental health outcomes, especially with younger people. The report finds that these platforms, which are driven by algorithmic feeds and influencer content, tend to have a more negative impact on mental wellbeing compared to apps focused on communication.

No reflecting, no planning, no “best year ever” energy. Just laughter, honest stories, and riding out the weirdest week of the year together. We’re talking holiday survival, abandoned routines, emotional whiplash, and giving ourselves grace before January tells us to level up again. If you’re still in pajamas, living on leftovers, and proudly avoiding productivity — pull up a chair. You’re with your people.

Tech Tip: Earlier this year in a study by the Family Online Safety Institute, which found that only around half of parents use parental control on tablets, with even fewer using parental controls on other devices.

We’re breaking down everything that truly stood out this year, from the shows we couldn’t stop watching (High Potential, The Terminal List: Lone Wolf), to the songs that lived rent-free in our heads, to the books, beauty products, and wardrobe pieces that actually earned their spot.

We’re also talking big wins (launching our app, hitting 50 podcast episodes), favorite trips, unexpected lifestyle shifts (doing less… and letting things go), and the little joys that made everyday life better — bartenders, good glassware, and makeup bags that finally stay organized. Plus, we’re calling out what we’re officially leaving behind (sorry, heels).

Think of this episode as our end-of-year group chat recap: honest, opinionated, funny, and very on-brand. If you’re looking for recommendations you can trust — and a reminder to celebrate the small wins — this one’s for you.

From figuring out life and parenting in our 40s to fighting screens, hormones, and holiday chaos, we’re bringing the full range of relatable mom-energy this week.

We’re talking:
 🎬 Our current content obsessions — House of Dynamite, High Potential, Mission Impossible, DWTS, and what we’re watching next (hello, philosophical alien virus hive-mind series).
📚 Our next read (Culpability)—family drama, AI blame, and moral chaos? Yes please.
🛍️ The BEST December sales — Primary kids basics at 40% off, Abercrombie Kids sets that actually fit long legs, and the Anthropologie holiday dress Kate swears is magic.
💁‍♀️ Plus: embracing Sage Sisters branding, perimenopause vibes, parenting negotiations, and the eternal struggle of finding new hobbies now that our kids are out of the baby stage.

It’s cozy, chaotic, honest, and hilarious—just like the season itself.

Kate’s feeling the crisp weather and cozy sleep vibes (even if she’s packing for four trips), while Anne’s riding high on soccer season and fighting through her home decor budget blues.

We’re diving into the parenting feels — from managing anxiety (thanks, Amy Poehler) to coaching our own kids and helping them through self-doubt — plus a few confessions about losing our cool and recovering after.

On the lighter side, we’ve got design updates (moved some pillows, called it progress), fitness goals (3-minute plank by 2026, anyone?), and a Tech Tip that’s all about giving kids a little independence without losing your mind.

It’s cozy chaos, family feels, and just enough self-awareness to keep us laughing through it all.

Tech Tip: Give them more independence. Let them go order in a restaurant while you wait in the car. Let them go get a few items at the grocery.  Let them walk to a friends house that’s the right distance.

Sage Haven: Safer Messaging App for Kids


]]> Tue, 04 Nov 2025 01:00:00 -0500 Anne Pizzuti and Kate Doerksen Anne Pizzuti and Kate Doerksen 4304 It’s our bi-annual (fall) goal check-in — where we get real about how those big personal and business goals are actually going. Spoiler: some wins, some detours, and a healthy dose of chaos.

We’re catching up on the highs, lows, and hot topics of the week — from vertigo and speeding tickets to PTO drama and a shared book fair meltdown. Because progress isn’t always pretty, but it’s definitely entertaining.

Grab your coffee (or wine) and laugh along as we reflect, reset, and remind ourselves that surviving fall is an accomplishment all on its own.

Anne’s highs include kids conquering rollercoasters (and surviving a few ride mishaps herself), plus her latest Amazon obsession: a velvet comforter set that’s giving cozy fall vibes. Kate’s catching up after a Vegas trip, a family visit, and the mystery that is “tainted love.”

We’re chatting football close calls, Taylor Swift and parenting, and Anne’s new fascination with van life and ostrich travel pillows. Then we dive into big headlines, from Australia’s social media age ban to New York City suing Big Tech for creating a youth mental health crisis.

Plus, this week’s Tech Tip: how to empower kids through bystander training for bullying because speaking up matters.

It’s a wild ride (pun intended), but that’s mom life  and we’re here for all of it. 🎢💚

How do you keep the spark alive when you’re also trying to raise tiny humans? How do you balance being parents and partners? And what does it look like to prioritize your relationship when your spouse is the one who will be with you long after the kids grow up and move out?

We’re sharing our own stories, the wins (and fails), and the funny little ways we try to stay connected through the chaos. Because marriage after kids is hard — but it’s also worth the laughs, the effort, and the late-night ice cream dates.

It’s equal parts news, nostalgia, and sister-style sanity checks—with a side of laughter and a sprinkle of insight. Tune in and grab your plate!

From dreamy parenting perks (never packing a school lunch again) to hilariously impossible scenarios (get an extra hour of sleep every day or an extra $50 magically appear in your wallet every week?), nothing is off-limits. We’re mixing in marriage moments, everyday life dilemmas, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting.


Play along as you listen and see if you’d choose the same way we do… or if you’d totally call us out. Spoiler: there will be laughter, questionable logic, and a little too much honesty.

We’re diving into how social media is impacting kids’ mental health, what makes Zigazoo a different kind of platform, and how we can help our kids build confidence, creativity, and emotional resilience without tossing all the devices out the window.

Plus, Leah gets real about her own parenting style, the boundaries that actually work in her house, and the small mental health boosts that keep her going.

It’s a fun, thoughtful convo that reminds us: it’s okay to feel all the things and it’s more than okay to talk about it.

✅ How iPad time is different from passive TV watching (more interactive, but also more risks).
✅ The impact of personalized content, endless scrolling, and on-demand access for young kids.
✅ How to set screen time boundaries without constant battles (or feeling like the bad guy).
✅ Simple strategies to balance tech use while keeping kids engaged in offline activities.

As technology shifts, our parenting strategies need to evolve too! Tune in for a real, relatable convo about screens, boundaries, and finding what works for your family.
