May parenting is absolute chaos: graduations, dance competitions, prom pressure, and the realization that summer is somehow six minutes away and we have zero plans for our children. Should they all have jobs? Should they be at camp? Should they just roam free? What are teenagers even supposed to do all summer anymore?

We also debate whether promposals have officially gone too far and revisit Nat’s very complicated Grade 13 prom situation — because apparently teenage drama never really ends.

Key topics

• End of school season chaos
• Social media trends among youth
• Parenting stories about prom and hockey

Story time! Nat got her eyelids done and we are here to talk all about it! Somehow it turned into a full-blown conversation about aging, confidence, Botox, body image, moms who never judge us, husbands who don’t ask questions, and whether cosmetic procedures are self-care, boredom, or just something fun to do. 

From “your eyelids are the texture of a testicle” to scheduling surgery during the busiest mom hour possible, this is a must listen!

We talk:

- upper blephs and what actually happens

- why women feel weird admitting they want to change something

- confidence vs. self-acceptance

- the pressure of aging naturally

- wanting to feel good in your own skin

- why some people get highlights and some get surgery

Also: Mark’s reaction, Grandma driving post-surgery, TJ wanting to watch the stitches come out, and why Cat thinks Nat just needed a hobby.

Whatever happened to being average? From dance competitions and puberty to inflated grades, elite sports, university pressure, and kids growing into 6’4” strangers overnight — this episode is all over the place in the best way possible. We dive into the exhausting culture of overachievement and why it feels like every kid is suddenly expected to be exceptional at everything. The pressure kids feel around sports, academics, and getting into university, why “average” has somehow become a dirty word, and why more kids (and parents) might actually be happier just playing for fun. Plus: boys are basically mystery bags during puberty, why everyone suddenly seems giant, and the reality of raising kids who simply want balance instead of burnout.

Ever feel like your identity disappears when the kids leave? As a mom, it’s easy to get lost in the roles we play. If you’ve poured everything into being a mom, what happens when the kids are gone?  Many women find themselves feeling empty, as they realize they’ve outsourced their identity to motherhood. You’re not just losing kids; you’re losing a part of yourself. 

Let us know where you are in this phase of life!

This episode is all about that weird, emotional, slightly chaotic stage of life when your kids start growing up, pulling away, and suddenly you realize… wait, who am I without all of this? We’re talking about the shift in family dynamics, relationships, marriage, identity, and what life actually looks like when the kids start leaving home. How do you stay connected, rediscover yourself, and figure out what this next chapter is supposed to be?

Raising kids is one thing… figuring out who you are after they leave is a whole other story.

Ever wonder if being a "grown-up" actually means losing your edge—or just losing your mind? This episode dives into the hilarious chaos of adulting, gender roles, and the bizarre power plays we don’t even realize we’re in. Spoiler: It’s less about who’s the boss and more about who’s just pretending to be in charge and why the real secret boss is always a dog in the shadows.

We also break down: the silent game of “who’s the boss?” in every partnership, why gender roles are stubbornly unchanging, and the shocking realization that the secret to happiness might just be... finding your opposite and loving them for all their flaws. Get ready for a candid, no-holds-barred chat about rejection, independence, and the hilarious struggle to stay sane in a world obsessed with sameness and control.
