Erica and Milah talk about single motherhood, dating, raising daughters, and parenting in the age of social media. As their girls get older, the Good Moms are officially entering their “stern mom era” and questioning how much parents should push their kids to succeed while still giving them space to become themselves. They get into kids and technology, education, social media, and beauty standards for young girls after seeing a second grader wearing a lace front. How young is too young for wigs, nails, and grown-up beauty trends? And what are moms unintentionally teaching their daughters through the way they talk about their own bodies? Then Erica is officially back outside. She joins Raya, accepts the Slutty Summer Challenge, talks about navigating dating as a single mom, and reveals why her daughter has decided her mother should remain a “Single Pringle.” In this episode: Single motherhood, dating, and getting back outside Erica joins Raya Raising confident, independent daughters Kids, social media, technology, and education Second graders, lace fronts, and beauty standards Body image and what mothers model for their daughters Dating someone your friend has already dated The Slutty Summer Challenge Bad Choices of the Week Tarot Time See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back! Erica and Milah are officially entering a new era of motherhood: raising daughters through middle school, puberty, changing bodies, and conversations about sex and consent. As their girls grow up, the Good Moms unpack what it means to parent differently than they were parented. They talk about body autonomy, boundaries, pleasure, sexual shame, safety, and how to have honest, age-appropriate conversations with your kids even when you don't have all the answers yourself. In this episode, you can expect to hear: • Milah’s emotional first middle-school drop-off • Navigating puberty while co-parenting • Why you might need to be your kid’s first “gentle bully” • Teaching kids about consent, boundaries, and unsafe behavior • Why “stranger danger” doesn't tell kids the whole story • Raising girls without shame around their bodies and sexuality • Talking about crushes, pleasure, and self-exploration • Breaking generational patterns around sex and womanhood • Why boy moms need to be having these conversations too • Back-to-school baby daddy drama, middle-school memories, and gray pubes Because the “sex talk” isn't really one talk, and waiting until your kids are ready to have it might mean waiting too long.

In hopes that having her partner’s child would solidify this outcome, Jess became pregnant at nineteen but begrudgingly learned that the vision she had for her life—as a wife and mother—would have to be reimagined.After multiple attempts at a relationship between her and her son’s father failed, Jess accepted that, while they would never get married, they were forever linked by the lifetime commitment of raising a child together. With her trademark wit and perspective, Jess shares her experiences with valuable and vulnerable insight for coparents who struggle with what it means to put their children first while protecting them from the ups and downs of adult relationships. ’Til Death Do We Parent is an inspirational journey to coparenting with ease and humor. ---------------------------------------- Connect With Us: @GoodMoms_BadChoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia @WatchErica  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
