This week, Good Moms are resurfacing an episode we know you probably need right now.

As the holidays creep in with family drama, emotional burnout, pressure to “be on,” and zero time for yourself, we wanted to bring back a conversation that helps you slow down and remember your power before the season sweeps you up.

We’re revisiting our episode with the magical Lizzy Jeff because it’s grounding, soothing, and low-key a whole self-care ritual in audio form. If you’re already feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or like you need a little feminine reset…this is the one.

You’ll hear:

• What “toxic goddess culture” looks like in real life (and why you don’t have to be perfect to be in your goddess bag)
• How to reconnect with your feminine energy on the days you don’t feel divine at all
• Simple rituals, herbs, roses, and sensory practices that help you get back into your body
• How to deal with emotional sensitivity without spiraling
• Why your perception of yourself matters more now than ever
• How to actually use your “goddess toolbox” when life gets chaotic

We brought this episode back because it genuinely brings you back to you, your softness, your intuition, your pleasure, your peace. And with everything this season demands, you deserve a reminder that you’re allowed to slow down and honor yourself too.

This week, Good Moms resurface an important conversation with international best-selling author and wellness thought leader, Mel Robbins. The ladies talk about why saying "i'm sorry" is annoying, weakens your power, invalidates your needs, and denies the support that you deserve. Mel leaves us with some science based tips/tools to soothe the nervous system, and gain our power back.

You can expect to hear:

• How replacing “I’m sorry” with “thank you” shifts responsibility and restores confidence
• Anxiety in the body: how it starts, how it travels, and what actually helps calm it
• The story behind Mel’s “High 5 Habit” and the science that makes it work
• Why taking up space feels uncomfortable for so many women
• The moment Mel gathered us about “disrespecting our business” and leveling up systems
• Childhood patterns, internal voices, and how they follow us into adulthood
• What it looks like to build something out of passion before realizing it’s a real business
• How saying no can be a power move in negotiations and life
• Navigating self-doubt, self-rejection, and why affirmations sometimes fall flat
• The connection between trauma, survival mode, and daily overwhelm
• Tools like high-fiving your heart to soothe the nervous system
• Why celebrating yourself, even for the small things, matters more than you think
• Parenting, identity, and watching our children grapple with the same insecurities we once had

This week Good Moms are joined by founder of Haus of Hoodoo Jessyka Winston to chat what it really means to be a modern day "witch" and why maybe, just maybe, it’s not as scary (or sinful) as they told us in Sunday school!

The three unpack how you're the architect of your reality, what it means to “jump timelines,” and why your vibration might be the only protection spell you actually need. Listen, even the baddest witches still need a reminder to believe in themselves!!

You can expect to hear:

• What the hell is a “fixed candle”?
• The truth about ancestral veneration (and nosy spirits lol)
• Mommy guilt & mystic grace
• Why healing isn’t cute but it’s necessary
• How to stop letting “belief” block your blessings
• Affirmation: “I am the architect of my own reality.”

Light your incense, grab your drink, and remember sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do… is make a “bad” choice.

The Black Effect Presents... Good Moms Bad Choices!

Motherhood doesn’t mean losing your identity, your sensuality, or your freedom.

This week, Erica and Milah confront the outdated “perfect mom” stereotype and challenge the idea that motherhood means: dressing conservatively, hiding your sex life, or being ashamed of smoking weed.

This episode is a reminder that you can be a loving, responsible parent and still show skin, smoke a blunt, and have good sex. It’s not about being reckless, it’s about being real.

You can expect to hear:

• The biggest lies society tells about “wild moms”
• Why it’s perfectly fine to smoke weed
• How to survive your hoe phase after motherhood
• The importance of showing kids how to properly clean themselves, even if you need to include props and Nutella
• Why Banana Republic and kitten heels might be a crime against moms everywhere
• The line between freedom and “put some damn clothes on, mom!”
