Call Your Mom

We compare Coachella and Stagecoach lineups (hi Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Post Malone), share comfort-first festival tips (lockers, sneakers, hoodies—then dance), and talk honest budgeting. We launch the Call Your Mom Book Club with Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid and trade thriller/fantasy recs. Sierra opens up about her 30 Before 30 list and reveals she’s writing a fiction love-triangle novel. Plus: docu-series we binged and a hot-girl-walk playlist that keeps the pace.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the world of love triangles — and trust us, mama holly's opinion will surprise you.

From The Summer I Turned Pretty (Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah) to Vampire Diaries (Stephan or Damon?), Twilight (Edward or Jacob?), One Tree Hill, Dawson’s Creek, and Gossip Girl — Sierra and Holly break down the most iconic “bad boy vs. good guy” debates in TV history. And of course, we’re not just fangirling over fictional crushes. We talk about:

• Why girls sometimes “settle” for attention instead of choosing themselves
• How TV drama reflects real-life relationship lessons
• Why mom always sees things differently than daughter 👀
• The importance of self-discovery (aka Belly, go to Paris!)
• Our favorite iced coffee recipes (because duh, we can’t help ourselves)

This episode is equal parts fun pop-culture deep dive and real-life mom advice. Whether you’re Team Conrad, Team Damon, or Team Chuck Bass, you’ll feel right at home in this conversation.
