What This Season Taught Us

What This Season Taught Us

We're ending Season 2 with a conversation that's equal parts reflection, gratitude, and growth. In this episode, CJ and Jaden look back on the biggest lessons from this season, the conversations that impacted them most, and the ways they've changed since hitting record on the first episode. Together, they discuss what they're leaving behind, what they're carrying into the future, and how healing, faith, boundaries, and authenticity have shaped this season of life. This episode is less about having all the answers and more about honoring the journey. Join us as we reflect on where we've been, celebrate how far we've come, and look ahead to what's next. Thank you for growing with us this season. We'll see you in Season 3. And until then... call your mom.

The Things We Pretend Don’t Hurt

Some of the deepest pain comes from the things people say “shouldn’t” hurt. In this episode, CJ and Jaden talk about the quiet hurts we often minimize: being left out, friendship changes, unanswered texts, comparison, rejection, loneliness, and feeling like a burden. Together, they unpack why people pretend they’re fine, how social media has amplified emotional pain, and what it looks like to finally acknowledge hurt instead of burying it. This conversation is honest, emotional, relatable, and full of reminders that your feelings don’t have to be dramatic to be real. If you’ve ever tried to act unbothered while secretly hurting… this episode is for you.

The People You Outgrow

Outgrowing people is one of the hardest parts of growth. In this episode, CJ and Jaden talk about the quiet changes that happen in friendships and relationships as you grow into new seasons of life. Sometimes there’s no drama or falling out… just distance, change, and the realization that not everyone is meant to go with you forever. Together, they unpack the guilt, grief, loneliness, and healing that can come with evolving relationships while learning how to move forward with grace, boundaries, and trust in God’s plan. If you’ve ever struggled with changing friendships or felt torn between loyalty and growth, this conversation is for you.

Questions, Tangents, and opinions

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones that feel the most natural. In this episode of The Calling Mom Podcast, CJ and Jaden sit down for a relaxed Q&A where they answer questions sent in by you guys. From funny opinions and random stories to deeper conversations about life, relationships, boundaries, and growing through different seasons, this episode feels like sitting in the room with us while we talk. No heavy structure. No perfect answers. Just honest conversation, laughter, and a little bit of chaos along the way. If you’ve ever wanted to know more about us, our perspectives, or the way we navigate life as a mom and daughter, this episode is for you.

When Your Plan Falls Apart But God’s Doesn’t

Sometimes the plan you wanted is not the plan God had for you and somehow His plan ends up being better than anything you could have imagined. In this episode, CJ and Jaden talk about changed expectations, unexpected turns, disappointment, growth, and learning how to trust God even when life does not go the way you thought it would. This conversation is honest, encouraging, and for anyone trying to hold onto faith while navigating a season that looks different than they planned.
