Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! Today, we’re diving into what moms really want on this special day. Some moms want quality time with their kids, while others are craving a little peace, quiet, and a break from “mom mode.” Does it depend on how old your kids are? Probably! We all love our children, no doubt—but let’s be real, sometimes the best gift is just a moment to breathe. So, how do you want to spend your Mother’s Day? Let us know!

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the difficult topic of how to talk to children about death. From personal experiences—Jaclyn’s father’s passing and the sudden loss of someone close to Laurel—we reflect on whether to tell kids the truth or shield them with softer stories, and how to approach these sensitive conversations with care and honesty.

In this episode, we dive into the impact of showing affection in front of our kids and how it may influence the way they approach relationships—whether with friends, romantic partners, parents, or even their future children. We reflect on how our own upbringings and our parents’ displays of love/parenting influenced us. We also discuss the growing concern around kids today lacking street smarts and situational awareness, discussing the roles of technology, helicopter parenting, and limited independence in this shift.

This week we explore various scenarios and perspectives about cheating. What would do if you caught someone cheating—whether it’s someone cheating on your friend or your friend cheating on their spouse. Does it matter how close you are to someone to speak up about it. Would you want to know if you were being cheated on? We also question the differences between men and women in how they approach or react to cheating.

We celebrate 10,000 Instagram followers and the amazing 2025 we are having. Sujata expresses some nervousness about returning to work, but emphasizes that self-worth isn't defined by a paycheck, whether working or staying at home. We discuss how women are able to emotionally and physically show how much we love each other but it’s different for men. Whether it’s because they don’t need to or society says it isn’t “normal” doesn’t feel fair.
