About this listen
In this week’s episode, the moms kick things off with fall traditions—from wine slushies and pumpkin muffins to controversial apple-picking opinions. Then they get real with their “Mom Fails,” reflecting on guilt, overwhelm, and the daily juggle of motherhood.
The main conversation dives into a topic every parent wrestles with: raising independent kids. The hosts share honest stories about letting go, teaching responsibility, encouraging problem-solving, and managing the tension between helping and hovering. They discuss the emotional hurdles (like worrying about judgment), the benefits of natural consequences, and the long-term payoff of letting kids figure things out.
With perspectives from former teachers, helicopter moms-in-recovery, and survival-mode parenting, this episode is full of relatable laughs, mistakes, and aha moments.
They close with their Peaks and Pits of the week—because balance, right?
