Episode Overview

Am I the Drama… or Is This Actually Wild?

This week on Busy Mom Talk, Kianna goes solo for a much-requested episode of “Am I the Drama?” — diving into real stories submitted by listeners who are deep in the messiness of motherhood, family dynamics, and public judgment. From overstepping mothers-in-law to partners who won’t set boundaries, this episode pulls back the curtain on situations so many parents quietly deal with.

When Mothers-in-Law Overstep

Kianna reads listener stories about mothers-in-law who push limits, ignore parenting choices, and insert themselves where they’re not invited. She shares her honest take on why these dynamics are so triggering, how generational expectations play a role, and why protecting your role as a parent doesn’t make you disrespectful — it makes you intentional.

When Your Partner Doesn’t Hold the Line

One of the biggest themes in this episode is what happens when a husband or partner doesn’t stand their ground. Kianna unpacks the emotional toll of feeling unsupported, why this issue is about more than just in-laws, and how partnership, communication, and shared boundaries are essential for a healthy family unit.

Public Parenting Shaming & Why It Hits So Hard

From unsolicited comments in grocery stores to judgmental looks at the park, Kianna reacts to stories of parents being shamed in public. She shares why these moments stick with us, how they can shake confidence, and why parenting already feels vulnerable enough without strangers weighing in.

Real Opinions, No Sugarcoating

This solo episode blends humor, honesty, and straight-up truth. Kianna shares her personal opinions on each scenario — when to speak up, when to let it go, and when it’s okay to say “no more.” It’s validating, relatable, and meant to remind parents that they’re not alone in navigating these uncomfortable situations.
