Today's episode of Mom's Favorite was inspired by a quote on Kim's new hat that reads, "You can't do epic shit with basic people." So naturally, we’re spilling the tea ☕: life without a solid girl gang is basically like showing up to a knife fight with a spork. Whether it’s your work crew keeping you sane during 12-hour shifts 🏥💉, your group chat that speaks exclusively in memes, GIFs, and TikToks, or that one friend who can interpret your “help me” eyes from across the room 👀—you need your people.

We’re breaking down how tribes look totally different for working mothers vs. empty-nesters, why finding a ride-or-die squad is harder than finding matching Tupperware lids, and the sacred responsibilities of being “that friend.” Especially if you’re a nurse mom—because sometimes your “tribe” is the only thing standing between you and a nervous breakdown in the supply closet 🚪😭.

This episode is equal parts love letter and wake-up call: find your people, feed them snacks, and never let them go (unless they start tagging you in MLM posts… then bye 👋).

🎭 Previously… on Mom’s Favorite 🎭

Cassidy & Kim are back with more drama than a Bravo reunion. 💅

Family drama, but make it premium cable. Cassidy and Kim get real about divorced-dad dynamics—how weekends at Dad’s as a teen (when you’ve got friends, sports, and a packed social life) feel like a chore, but as an adult, you wish you’d savored them more.

We spill on the emotional acrobatics of playing mediator between two parents who aren’t the biggest fans of each other 🙃. As a kid of divorce, you’re the Switzerland of the family—neutral, diplomatic, and secretly exhausted.

And then… the plot twist you couldn’t script 🎬: Kim meets her bio dad for the first time, totally unplanned, totally public… and the man strolls in with full “used car salesman” energy 🚗✨.

In this episode of Mom’s Favorite, we’re joined by another fabulous mother-daughter duo, who prove that creativity definitely runs in the family — along with frequent flyer miles and strong opinions about color palettes.

Mom is an interior designer with a serious eye for aesthetics, and daughter is a freshly minted illustration grad who’s already turning heads with her work. From gallery hopping abroad to arguing over the “correct” way to sketch a chair, they take us behind the scenes of their artistic bond (and occasional creative clashes).

We talk inspiration, influence, creative boundaries (do those exist?), and what it’s like to travel the world with someone who insists on photographing every interesting tile pattern. Whether you’re an artist, a mother, a daughter, or just here for the design inspo and relatable chaos — this one’s for you.

🎨 Plus:

• Their favorite places to travel
• Wild travel stories
• The art of not killing each other on long flights
• Why good lighting is the 3rd member of any creative duo

🎙️ ✨ 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.

🎤 Raising confident daughters

🍎 Teaching with heart — at school and at home

🎭 Matilda memories, stage mishaps & proud mom moments

💬 Plus: who’s more dramatic — mom or daughter?

Whether you're a fellow theater kid, a teacher-mom, or just someone who believes in the power of a good standing ovation, this one’s for you. 🎬

🎙️ Episode 4—

On this episode of Mom’s Favorite, Cassidy sits down with her husband—her high school sweetheart, prom date, and the original witness to her glow-up, Dave. Together with Kim, they talk about growing up side by side, surviving teen love, and learning how to be married adults—which mostly involves asking ‘What should we do for dinner?’ until one of us dies.

But it’s not all laughs and teenage nostalgia—this episode also honors someone truly unforgettable: his mom. The woman who raised him, shaped him, and made everyone blush with her wildly inappropriate jokes. She was all heart, all sass, and absolutely one of a kind.

💬 In this episode:

• The awkward years (yes, there are receipts)
• The slow burn of becoming real adults
• A love story that includes braces, baby bottles, and burned dinners
• A tribute to a mom who never held back—and wouldn’t want us to either

If you’ve ever been in love, in braces, or in a family full of opinions—this one’s for you.

🎙️ Episode 3— THE BRENT BOYS TELL ALL

In a bold and possibly ill-advised move, we gave a microphone to a 9-year-old and a 12-year-old with two WILDLY different personalities....

• A 9-year-old with the energy of a frat boy on his third Capri Sun
• A 12-year-old who somehow skipped childhood and is already preparing his retirement plan

👦👦 In this episode, our not-so-tiny co-hosts cover:

• Their totally objective thoughts on why school is “the worst”
• A deep dive into the world of snacks, screen time, and sibling injustice
• Groundbreaking revelations about how adults “just don’t get it”
• Several off-topic rants that we left in because, frankly, they were funnier than we expected

If you’ve ever wondered what kids really think—or just want to hear two small humans roast us in real time—this one’s for you (though we're still recovering).

🎧 Listen in for laughs, wisdom, and the kind of chaos only kids can create. Parenting, but make it public.

🎙️ Episode 2 — “Two Girls and a Feral Funeral”

In this episode of Mom’s Favorite, Cassidy and Kim unpack the emotional rollercoaster that was the recent funeral of Cassidy’s grandmother, Frances Knopf. From heartfelt memories to family dysfunction that could rival a daytime soap, nothing is off-limits.

They reflect on the good (stories about Nanny Fran that still make them laugh), the bad (awkward encounters and unspoken tension), and the ugly. But through the chaos, there’s a glimmer of hope — Cassidy and Kim share their honest thoughts on forgiveness, healing, and the dream of rebuilding what’s been broken.

It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s a reminder that family is messy — but sometimes, mess is where the love lives.

Listen now for:

• A tribute to Frances Knopf’s fierce spirit
• What not to say at a family gathering
• Dreams of reconciliation… and reality checks
• How funerals bring people together — and sometimes tear them apart
