Mom's Favorite: with Cassidy & Kim

Cassidy’s Holiday Weekend Recap

Season 2, Episode 26 — Cassidy is back with a post–4th of July update filled with everything a classic summer weekend should have—lake days, fireworks, hot dogs, s’mores, family time, and a few moments that reminded her just how much life changes after becoming a parent. Remember when jumping off cliffs, riding the sketchiest carnival rides, or hopping on a tube behind a boat sounded like a great idea? Somewhere between adulthood and motherhood, our brains started turning every fun activity into a scene straight out of Final Destination. 😅 In this episode, Cassidy talks about why so many parents experience this shift, how age and experience make us realize we aren’t invincible, and the constant balancing act of keeping our kids safe without wrapping them in bubble wrap. Because while we want to protect them from every possible danger, we also want them to make memories, build confidence, and experience the adventures that make childhood so magical. If you’ve ever found yourself mentally calculating every possible thing that could go wrong while your kids are simply having the time of their lives…this one’s for you! Grab your favorite summer drink, pull up a lawn chair, and join Cassidy for a candid conversation about motherhood, anxiety, and making the most of the memories anyway. ❤️ Disclaimer: Podcasts featured on Shody Media are independently owned and operated by their respective hosts.

Nidia Heston: "Mama Fuego"

Season 2, Episode 24 — This week on Mom's Favorite, Kim sits down with her longtime friend, Nidia, whose journey into advocacy began long before she became a mom. Growing up as the oldest child in a Hispanic family, Nidia helped care for her younger brother with special needs. Those experiences shaped her perspective, inspired her career in mental health and special needs, and unknowingly prepared her for the day she would become the mother of a son on the autism spectrum. In this heartfelt conversation, Nidia shares how she's navigated therapies, schools, diagnoses, and the challenges of raising a neurodivergent child—all while refusing to settle for anything less than the best for her son. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply someone who wants to better understand the world of special needs parenting, this episode is full of wisdom, hope, and encouragement. 💙 In this episode we talk about: ✨ Growing up with a sibling who has special needs 🧩 Raising a child on the autism spectrum 💪 Becoming your child's fiercest advocate 🩺 Working in mental health and special needs 🏫 Navigating schools, therapies, and support systems ❤️ The power of resilience, family, and unconditional love This conversation is a beautiful reminder that while the journey may not be easy, no one fights harder than a parent who loves their child.

Can You “Divorce” Your Parents?

Season 2, Episode 22— In this episode of Mom’s Favorite, we dive into the growing trend of adult children going low-contact or no-contact with their parents. Is family estrangement a healthy boundary, a cultural shift, or something more complicated? We’re exploring perspectives from both adult children and parents, discussing emotional immaturity, accountability, forgiveness, and whether family relationships should be unconditional simply because you’re related. It’s a nuanced conversation about one of the most emotional and controversial family topics today—and why sometimes the people who love each other the most end up the farthest apart.
