Mortician Mama

Episode 19 – Mourning Wood by Heather M. Orgeron We’re wrapping up MILF Mayhem month with a romcom set in small‑town Louisiana, where a funeral‑director mama is juggling motherhood, quirky service requests, and a family funeral home that always seems one crisis away from chaos. Whitney has sworn off romance — she’s too busy keeping the business afloat and her kid’s world steady — until a familiar face from her past rolls back into town. He’s the contractor hired to renovate the funeral home chapel — steady hands, soft heart, and absolutely no business being this charming. And somewhere between paint swatches, chapel repairs, and small‑town gossip, he starts falling for Whitney and her daughter, one ridiculous moment at a time. It’s funny, tender, and full of that “dating as a single mom is its own kind of love story” energy that makes this finale so special Caution: This podcast contains spoilers.

Mama in the Making

Episode 18 – Nine Month Contract by Amy Daws This week we’re diving into a romcom where a simple surrogacy agreement turns into full‑blown mountain‑side chaos. Trista signs on to help a grumpy, tattooed recluse become a dad… and immediately starts testing his patience by showing up with stray animals, big feelings, and zero apologies. Wyatt keeps pretending he’s unbothered — by the pig, the rabbit, or the woman who keeps brightening up his mountain top — but the chemistry between them is loud, messy, and impossible to ignore. It’s funny, chaotic, and full of that “we were NOT supposed to catch feelings” energy that makes a romcom irresistible. Caution: This podcast contains spoilers.
