S4 E30: Mother's Day — The Good, The Guilt, and The Working Weekend
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Alex and Amanda get candid about the reality of Mother's Day — why it so often becomes the most exhausting day of the year, why divorced moms are doing something categorically different from married moms who think a solo weekend qualifies as the same experience, and why giving yourself permission to skip the celebration entirely is not only valid but sometimes the healthiest choice. They also get into mom judgment, the mental load of co-parenting versus counter-parenting, AI and homework, and what it actually means to launch your kids into adulthood in 2025.
