What does it really mean to “be that guy” in today’s world—and how can parents support their sons without pushing them further away?

In this powerful and honest conversation, Kayla sits down with DJ Logory, founder of Be That Guy, to talk about what’s really going on with young men today. DJ shares his own story of feeling lost in his early 20s, why confidence and direction can’t be forced by parents, and how habits, accountability, and community can completely change a young man’s trajectory.

Together, they unpack:

• Why so many young men feel stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed
• What parents often get wrong when trying to “help” their sons
• How small daily habits build confidence, discipline, and self-trust
• What young men actually want (but rarely say out loud)
• How parents can support growth without overstepping

This episode is a must-listen for parents raising sons, young men trying to figure out their next chapter, and anyone who wants to better understand masculinity, emotional intelligence, and growth in today’s culture.

If your kid has rolled their eyes at you more times today than you’ve sipped your coffee… welcome home. In this episode of Moms Brain Is a Coffee Stain, Kayla and Crystal dive into the wild zone between strict parenting and gentle parenting — and why most of us are just doing our best in the messy middle.

From teen negotiations that feel like hostage situations, to real-life stories of safety, boundaries, emotional validation, and those “I just have a bad feeling” moments… this episode is for every parent trying to keep their kids alive and somewhat respectful.

We’re talking:• How to keep open communication without becoming a doormat• Why safety trumps “but everyone else gets to!”• How to stand firm without turning your home into a supermax• The difference between advocating and pestering• And why you are NOT your teen’s best friend (yet)

Oh, and Kayla spills a teenage confession that may make you feel way better about your own wild years. You’re welcome.

Holiday break is creeping up, the house is chaos, and you’re one TikTok scroll away from forgetting everything on your to-do list… sound familiar?

Grab your coffee and hide with us as Kayla and Crystal break down the real difference between **helicopter parenting** (hovering 24/7) and **intentional parenting** (deliberate, thoughtful involvement). We’re talking childhood flashbacks, playground jelly wipes, banned trampolines, bike-to-school milestones, and why the internet gets full helicopter mode (true crime ruined us).

From personal stories (and plenty of laughs) to practical mom hacks, we’re figuring out how to hover when it matters, step back when it builds character, and not lose our minds on the tightrope in between. Spoiler: it’s okay to swing both ways — just don’t beat yourself up about it.

This one’s for every mom who’s ever sprinted after a kid with a forgotten permission slip… or banned a trampoline and bought a pool instead. You’re doing great. ☕
