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?

Sharenting in 2025: Are We Oversharing Our Kids Online? | Just 4 Moms Podcast

From Taylor Swift at 4:30 a.m. to Merv the TikTok cat, Episode 32 kicks off with chaos, coffee, and confessions before diving into the real topic: SHARENTING.

The hosts unpack kid privacy, social media culture, digital risks, and the rise of child accounts online. They talk about why it “doesn’t jive” when kids interact with followers, how comment culture blurs boundaries, and why oversharing feels a lot like those old Christmas family letters.

They wrap with advice for new parents on posting their kids in 2025 and share their Pits & Peaks of the week.

In this honest and relatable episode of Just 4 Moms, the hosts open up about how their own digital habits shape their kids’ behavior—and what they’re doing to be more intentional with screen time. From phones at bedtime to constant multitasking, Megan, Caitlin, Kallie, and Charlotte discuss the everyday struggle of being present while living in a digital world.

Megan gives tips from a recent event with Verizon and Mel Robbins about intentional tech use and how small family routines can make a big difference. Caitlin admits she didn’t realize how often she was on her phone until her kids started pointing it out (“Why are you always holding your phone?”). Charlotte reflects on how even working on her computer or editing videos means she’s rarely giving her kids her full attention—eye to eye and knee to knee. Kallie, who’s known for being screen-minimal, shares how she and her husband slowly moved away from smartphones and why she’s so passionate about reducing digital noise at home.

The conversation dives into the idea that kids mirror what they see—and that it’s never too late to reset our own habits. The hosts talk about setting “no phone” zones at dinner or bedtime, leading by example, and remembering that phones are designed to be addictive.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Just 4 Moms without some laughs. The moms discuss “6-7,” share their latest Mom Fails—from forgotten snacks to a dance class mix-up—and wrap things up with their weekly Pits and Peaks.
