EPISODE 29: LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

EPISODE 33: BE THE PANINI

The Mamas are riding high this episode, with Karen celebrating a dear friend’s cancer-free scans. Just in case all this joy gets you sweaty, like Karen in her faucets-on 20s, Kalimba has a deodorant rec for you. In Listener questions, a bride wonders how much she owes her fiancé’s family when it comes to their demands and a friend wonders how to deal with a loose-lipped betrayal. The Mamas role play the art of awkward confrontation.

EPISODE 32: BITCHES AND DITCHES

It’s the last episode of the year so gather ‘round Listener for some conversational nog. As the Mamas turn the page on 2022, they share what they’re sick of,  what they’re releasing, what they want to heal, and what they’re ready to embrace. Onwards, upwards, sideways into the great unknown.

EPISODE 31: INCURABLE JOY

This week The Mamas welcome Joy Campbell - podcaster, writer, life coach, and mama living an accelerated life with an incurable diagnosis - to discuss the silver linings of Cancer 2.0, how to manage your most constant companion (your mind), how to love on those on a medical journey the right way, and how to get Oprah, Augusten Burrows and Misty Tripoli on your support dream team.

EPISODE 30 WANTED: BABYSITTERS

This week, the Mamas turn their attention on their squalling, needy, tender, petty babies. Not their actual sons and daughters, mind you, but their dum dums within. Are our inner wounded babies a good hang? Not if you live with them! But maybe Listener could benefit from making a playdate for her baby with ours. No spanking. No time-outs. Lots of snacks.

EPISODE 29: LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

Is there such a thing as dancing out your Daddy issues? Kalimba reports back from a movement therapy studio with a  tender review. Maybe there's room in that dance studio for Karen's family of four plus five animals, because after 15 years in a rent-stabilized house your Mama needs a new roof over her head. What is more destabilizing than a move? Death! The Mamas and Katherine Heigl are here to lecture and shame and bribe you with Halloween candy to put your estates in order if they aren't already.
