I Farted in Front of My Crush (+ More Awkward Teenage Stories) | Ep.2
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are getting into some seriously embarrassing territory: our awkward teenage phase. We're talking bad fashion choices (hello, giant hand-me-down t-shirts and my infamous green linen tunic-over-skirt look — the one I was wearing the day I met Jeremy), disastrous hair experiments, and the crunchy-mousse curls and hairspray-soaked ponytails that may or may not have caused permanent damage. We also get into the deeper stuff — how we each struggled to figure out who we really were as teenagers, jumping between personas, and how insecurity showed up differently for each of us. Joy opens up about a season where she equated spirituality with being "zero fun," and how her motivations for things like reading through the Bible in two months weren't always as pure as she thought at the time — but how God used it anyway. I share what it was like dealing with body changes, comparison, and dressing for comfort over style because I didn't feel confident in my own skin. If you ever wore something you cringe at now, went through a hair phase you'd rather forget, or spent your teenage years trying to figure out who you actually were underneath the persona, this episode is going to feel very relatable. 🎧 New episodes of Call Your Sister with Joy and Jinger every week — subscribe so you don't miss out!

Joy’s Pregnant! Also, We Have a New Podcast | Ep. 1
Welcome to the very first episode of the Call Your Sister Podcast! We can’t believe we’re finally saying that. In this episode, we’re sharing how a casual FaceTime conversation between sisters turned into a brand-new podcast and why Joy and I decided this was the right time to do it. We talk about what you can expect from Call Your Sister, some of the fun things we have planned, and why we want this show to feel like you’re jumping onto one of our regular sister FaceTime calls with us. But starting a new podcast isn’t even the biggest news of the episode: Joy is pregnant with BABY #4! We talk about how she told me, why this pregnancy has felt so different, and what it’s like stepping back into the baby stage after a bigger age gap. That leads us into a much deeper conversation about something we both had to rethink as adults: how many children should you have? Growing up, we both assumed that having as many children as possible was simply what you were supposed to do. We talk about questioning those childhood teachings, what Scripture actually says about children and family, and how we’ve learned to approach those decisions with our husbands through prayer, wisdom, and without fear. Then we lighten things up with some sister talk about Type A vs. Type B moms, perfectly organized refrigerators, dishes sitting in the sink, the pressure to have everything together when you’re hosting, and how social media can make it feel like everyone else is doing motherhood better than you. We also reveal just how much we actually text and FaceTime each other, confess how terrible we both can be at responding to messages, and talk about why we decided to make room for this podcast. This is the beginning of something new, and we’re so excited to have you here. Think of Call Your Sister as an hour every week to sit down, catch up, laugh, talk honestly about life, motherhood, faith, family, and all the things we’d normally be talking about on the phone anyway. So… call your sister. 🤍 Topics covered: Joy Forsyth pregnancy, baby number four, Call Your Sister Podcast, Jinger Vuolo and Joy Forsyth, family size, childhood teachings about children, motherhood, Christian parenting, Type A vs. Type B moms, social media and motherhood, sister relationships 🎧 New episodes of Call Your Sister every week — SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss out! 00:00:00 - Life Updates and a Major Teaser00:05:26 - Introducing the Call Your Sister Podcast00:12:18 - What to Expect from the New Podcast00:13:22 - Big News from Joy00:18:10 - Deciding How Many Children to Have00:20:48 - Rethinking Their Childhood Teachings on Family Size00:27:21 - Type A vs. Type B Moms00:30:43 - When Personality Types Become Excuses00:32:44 - Balancing Hosting, Social Media, and Priorities00:35:09 - How Often the Sisters Communicate00:36:59 - Texting Habits and Email Overload00:39:56 - Worth the Call00:40:55 - Why They Decided to Start the Podcast #CallYourSister #JingerVuolo #JoyForsyth #Motherhood #Pregnancy #Sisters #MomLife #Parenting OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: TRUST & WILL: Protect what matters most.

Joy & Jinger: Why It’s Been Hard to Find Joy
In this episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, my sister Joy and I are talking all about finding joy — even, and especially, in the hard seasons of life. We start light, talking about the small everyday things that bring us joy right now: home, routine, our kids, beach days, sunsets, and even a few Facebook Marketplace wins (wait until you hear about Joy's chandelier find). But we also go somewhere deeper. Joy opens up about the miscarriage of her daughter Annabelle at 20 weeks and the season of depression that followed, and how she had to fight against becoming bitter while learning to trust God through something she never saw coming. I share my own experience with postpartum depression after having Evy, along with a spiritual crossroads I walked through where I had to wrestle honestly with hard questions about faith. We talk about the difference between happiness and joy, how joy can return in small, unexpected ways after grief, and why getting your labs and vitamin D checked is such a simple but important reminder when you're feeling low. We wrap up with a fun rapid-fire on what's currently bringing us joy, and even float the idea of a Jinger & Joy spin-off podcast — let us know what you think!If you've ever walked through loss, depression, or a season where joy felt impossible to find, this conversation is for you. Topics covered: finding joy after loss, postpartum depression, miscarriage and grief, choosing joy in hard seasons, faith and doubt, motherhood, everyday gratitude, sisters podcast 🎧 New episodes of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast every week — SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out! 00:00:00 - When Joy Becomes Hard to Find 00:01:26 - The Everyday Things Bringing Us Joy 00:11:09 - Trusting God and Choosing Joy Through Trials 00:15:21 - Seeing Everyday Joy Through a Child’s Eyes 00:18:59 - Finding Joy in Nature and Community 00:23:27 - Settling Into a Family Home 00:25:52 - The Comfort of an Ordinary Routine 00:30:26 - Coffee Shop Outings and Family Routine 00:31:15 - Facebook Marketplace Finds and the Chandelier 00:36:00 - Rapid-Fire Things Bringing Us Joy 00:37:34 - A Reminder to Check Your Health 00:38:56 - Should the Sisters Start a Podcast? #Parenting #Motherhood #MomLife #ParentingTips #RaisingKids OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: TRUST & WILL: Protect what matters most.

So, About My Stress Rash (True Story!)
In this episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, my sister Joy and I are getting real about something almost every mom deals with: feeling overwhelmed. We're talking about overscheduled kids, overcommitting to social plans, and how to know when a busy season has crossed the line into burnout. Joy opens up about how her capacity to handle things comes in waves, and why she and Austin made the decision to protect at least three quiet evenings at home each week just to reset as a family. I share how Jeremy and I hit our own breaking point after years of "gone, gone, gone" through ministry and church commitments, and what it took for us to finally say it's time for a change, even when that meant pulling back from good things and worrying about what people would think. We dig into the difference between a busy season (like a home remodel or a book deadline) versus a lifestyle that's simply unsustainable long term, and the practical ways we've each learned to say no, protect our family's time, and communicate openly about what we can and can't handle in any given week. If you've ever felt stretched too thin, guilty about pulling back from commitments, or unsure how to reset when life gets too full, this conversation is for you. 🎧 New episodes of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast every week — SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out! 00:00:00 – Intro & Welcome 00:00:54 – What's Making You Feel Overwhelmed This Week? 00:04:23 – Stepping Back from Overcommitment (Bible Study Story) 00:06:08 – What Helps vs. What Doesn't When You're Overwhelmed 00:09:21 – How Austin & Jeremy Notice When We're Overwhelmed 00:12:35 – Communication, Sleep & Letting Go of What's Not Yours to Carry 00:14:44 – Do You Need to Leave the House Every Day? 00:22:34 – Burnout, a Stress Rash & Learning to Rest 00:24:36 – Things We've Said No To Recently 00:30:12 – Does Your Capacity Change With the Season? 00:32:11 – Feeling Like an Introvert & Emotional Drain 00:34:02 – Joy's Genuinely Restful Day 00:38:18 – Jinger's Genuinely Restful Day 00:42:02 – The "Milestone Party" Trend 00:44:54 – Are Themed Birthday Parties Over the Top? 00:52:44 – Overscheduled Kids & Youth Sports 00:58:02 – One Thing That's Helping Us Slow Down 01:00:07 – Closing Thoughts & Outro OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.

So, About Getting Married Young
In this episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, I'm sitting down with my sister Joy to talk all things marriage, especially what it's really like getting married young. Joy was 19 when she married Austin, and I was 22 when I married Jeremy, so we're diving into our different timelines, how our age gaps compared, and what marriage actually looked like once the "happily ever after" honeymoon phase wore off. We get honest about the biggest surprises marriage threw at us — from learning how to communicate (and why miscommunication is behind almost every argument), to balancing work and family life when your husband's job doesn't fit a typical 9-to-5, to figuring out how to find your own voice and opinions after years of just going along with everything. I open up about how I used to be way more passive early in our marriage, and how Jeremy actually pushed me to become more independent... even when that meant a little more "friction" at home! We also get into some of the funnier, more personal sides of marriage: Jeremy's prankster habit of bringing snakes and reptiles into our house, Austin's germaphobe tendencies and nightly shower routine, and the best piece of marriage advice we've actually stuck with — a simple nightly question that's helped keep our communication open for years. If you're newly married, engaged, dating young, or just curious what marriage looks like behind the scenes for us, this episode is full of honest, relatable, and encouraging conversation about love, growth, and building a life together. 🎧 New episodes every week — SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out!

So, About Making Friends as an Adult
Does friendship feel harder than it should? In this episode, I sit down with my sister and co-host Joy for an honest, tear-filled conversation about what it's really taken for us to build meaningful friendships — as kids, as teens, and now as adult women navigating marriage, motherhood, and moving to a new city. Joy and I open up about growing up in the public eye and how that shaped (and sometimes stunted) our ability to trust and connect with others. We talk through the insecurity, comparison, and social anxiety that followed us into adulthood, and how marriage — and moving away from a built-in support system of siblings — forced me to learn how to make friends from scratch. I share real stories about the friends who've shown up for me in hard seasons: care packages during potty training, a month of secret prayer journaling from my sister-in-law, last-minute pool days, and coffee dropped off at my door with no expectations attached. Joy and I get vulnerable about the fear of losing friends during hard family seasons, the guilt I've felt pulling back, and why "perfect" friendships don't exist — but genuine ones are worth fighting for. In this episode: Why friendship didn't come naturally to me or Joy growing up How growing up in the public eye affected our ability to trust people Battling insecurity, body image, and comparison as teens How marriage and moving away exposed the gaps in my friendships The role social media plays in how our kids will experience friendship and comparison Small, thoughtful gestures that have made the biggest difference for me in hard seasons How I'm challenging myself to reach out and encourage a friend this week If you've ever struggled to make or keep close friends, felt too busy or too "in survival mode" to nurture relationships, or wondered how to build real community as an adult — this episode is for you.

So, About Raising Littles
Welcome back to the Jinger and Jeremy Podcast! I have my sister Joy on the pod for an honest, funny conversation about motherhood, parenting fails, and everything in between. We swap hilarious stories about their kids (a diaper left on a car roof, toddlers climbing furniture, and Gideon's "Dear Diary" adventure), open up about the parts of motherhood that surprised us most (hello, patience lessons), and get real about what's actually harder, and easier, than we expected. You'll hear our honest takes on baby carriers vs. strollers, why we skip the diaper bag, our favorite baby product hacks (the Doona and our go-to stain remover), overrated baby products and viral parenting trends (looking at you, toddler chefs), sleep training struggles, extended breastfeeding, and how we balance routine with flexibility for our kids.

So, About Being Sisters
My sister Joy flew in for a visit and we couldn't wait to jump on the mic together! In this episode, I sit down with my favorite co-host (yes, my actual sister) to talk about what it's really like being sisters — the closeness we didn't always have growing up, how we stay connected even though we live so far apart, and why FaceTime has completely changed the way our families bond across the miles. We get into it all: our kids growing up as playmates even though they're states apart, what it means to build relationships with aunts, uncles, and grandparents who don't live nearby, and how technology has changed long-distance family life for the better. I also open up about leaning on my faith through hard seasons and how studying the attributes of God has shifted my whole perspective lately. If you've ever wondered how sisters stay close despite distance, different seasons of life, or busy schedules — this conversation is for you. 📌 In this episode: ✨ Growing up as sisters (and not always being close) ✨ How we stay connected long-distance ✨ FaceTime, family bonds, and our kids' relationships ✨ Leaning on faith through hard seasons ✨ Studying the attributes of God 00:00:00 - Welcome Back, Joy 00:02:24 - Staying Close Across the Distance 00:06:18 - Why We Weren't Close Growing Up 00:12:37 - Childhood Memories and Family Roles 00:17:11 - How We Became Close Friends 00:23:01 - Growing in Vulnerability and Faith 00:27:22 - Fun Sister Questions 00:30:53 - Crying at Unexpected Moments 00:32:17 - Impulse Buying and Spending Habits 00:38:21 - What We've Been Loving 00:45:13 - Finding Encouragement in God's Attributes 00:46:43 - Thanks for Watching OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.
