🎙️ ✨ Episode 5 —

Ever glued rhinestones at midnight? Argued with a seven-year-old about false lashes? Or performed jazz choreography in a costume held together with hope and a safety pin? Same.

In this episode of Mom’s Favorite, we dive into the dramatic, glitter-filled world of raising a performing child. First, Kim shares what it’s like being the woman behind the backstage curtain—part cheerleader, part personal assistant, part emotional support animal— and Cassidy relives her competitive dancer years, complete with costume trauma, cringey dance routines, and the lingering nightmares of forgetting the choreography.

We also welcome a very special mother & her two precious daughters to the mic. The mom — a devoted special education teacher who brings the wisdom, patience, and wit only a teacher-mom can. Her 8-year-old daughter? She’s fresh off the stage in a local production of Matilda and already has a flair for drama (the good kind). And the 6-year-old little sister? She's just along for the ride!

We talk about everything from life backstage to what it’s like being raised by a teacher, how performance helps kids find their voice, and the little magical moments that make motherhood feel like a musical in itself.
