Hey mama. Have you ever looked up what your kid actually buys for lunch? Siobhan did, and she read the whole transaction history out loud. (Airheads were involved. So was Chick-fil-A. At school.)

Then a harmless chat at football practice sends her spiraling. Is she the crunchy mom who sounds like a snob? Mel admits she used to be the most annoying person at the party after nutrition school. We also get into a hat that started a fight, the diet Siobhan credits with changing her mom's life, and one elevator encounter that did not go well.

So grab your coffee, hide in your car, and don't tell the kids.

Hey mama —

This week we're talking about the painful process of getting everyone to school on time. One of us tried a gentler way to get her teenager out of bed this week. It did not go the way she planned. Now the carpool is idling in the driveway, her husband thinks it's no big deal, and she's the only one in the house sweating. Something's gotta give.

Then it wanders, like it does: a kid who came home from a week at dad's suddenly offering to do the laundry, dimes that are still stuck to the wall, and a 26-year-old on a plane with a surprisingly deep take on sex that one of us wants to borrow for "the talk." Plus Siobhan's TV habit, which she cannot explain, and we cannot stop teasing her about.

Grab your coffee, hide in your car, and don't tell the kids. 🎧

Hey mama — if you've ever read the book Signs, think we're capable of way more than we know, or asked for a sign and then talked yourself out of it — this one's for you.

Mel spent the weekend in the woods of upstate New York learning how to connect with what Laura Lynne Jackson calls your team of light. She came home with a bent spoon, a dime stuck to a hotel wall, and the sign she asked for and immediately regretted.

Grab your coffee, hide in your car, and don't tell the kids. 🎧
