  • The Prince of Play Feat. Micheal Hollice

    Who said adults can't also play?

     

    This week, Erica and Milah are joined by Michael Hollice, founder of The Play, the largest ethical play party on the West Coast, to talk all things sexual health, testing, and why playing as an adult doesn’t have to be taboo.

     

    The three chat about what it means to explore pleasure with honesty, curiosity, and consent at the center. From destigmatizing STI testing (seriously, just pee in the cup) to navigating ethical non-monogamy and threesomes that don’t end in tears (or texts from your ex), this episode is a real one. Whether you're lifestyle-curious or just want to strengthen your "no," this conversation reminds us that sexual freedom starts with self-awareness.

     

    You can expect to hear:

    6:00 – Erica and Milah debate if Lola Bunny is actually Black (deep cartoon discourse)

    15:00 – Michael’s cheating confession and how it sparked a journey into open love

    22:00 – The awkward (and honest) truth about first threesomes

    30:00 – STI testing: how to do it, why it matters, and yes, there’s a rectal swab

    40:00 – Consent: how to say no and mean it with love

    52:00 – Why play parties aren’t just sex parties—and how The Play sets a new standard

    1:08:00 – Learning to say no without guilt (and why most of us were never taught how)

    1:30:00 – DIBS: Desires, Intentions, Boundaries & Sexuality—the real pregame

     

    Share this with a friend who thinks "sex parties" are just for freaks, and remind them: there’s power in knowing your status, healing in being honest, and freedom in simply playing.

  • Surviving Jeffrey Epstein feat. Lisa Phillips

    Lisa opens up about the early days of her modeling career, how she unknowingly entered Epstein’s world, and the psychological grip that followed. She also discusses how launching her podcast From Now On became a lifeline — a space to share not only her story but those of other survivors navigating similar paths in the entertainment and creative industries.

    (19:00)– The Psychological Aftermath & Normalization of Abuse

    Conversation around how young women often minimize or normalize abuse due to lack of awareness, fear, or manipulation.

  • How to Break Generational Silence Feat. Nicole Russell Wharton

    Have you ever sat in a doctor’s office filling out forms, just guessing your whole medical history? Same! 

     

    This week, Good Moms are joined by community healer, author, friend, and founder of Precious Dreams Foundation,  Nicole Russell Wharton! Nicole shares how she found out the hard way that family silence isn’t just frustrating, it can actually be dangerous. 

     

    After six surgeries in one year and a diagnosis that should’ve never been a surprise, Nicole started asking questions that her family had never talked about (It’s likely yours hasn't either!) This led her to start asking hard questions, uncovering hidden family histories, and ultimately writing her book, “Breaking Generational Silence: A Guide To Disrupt Unhealthy Family Patterns and Heal Inherited Trauma” 

     

    Share this episode with a friend so we’re not all out here putting “I don’t know” on every damn medical form! 

     

    What you can expect to hear:

    (3:10)  Come see Good Moms at Black Effect Podcast Festival!! 

    (9:30) Why the ‘good woman’ stereotype is outdated 

    (14:45) Nicole shares how her lung collapse was connected to her menstrual cycle; ultimately leading to her endometriosis diagnosis

    (27:30) The importance of asking your family uncomfortable questions and some things to keep in mind while you do it

    (34:15) Bad Choice of the Week Segment

    (41:20)  How Nicole got her dad to finally open up, by showing him death certificates and family records. In her own words…"I had to ask my dad questions with receipts—because Black families don’t just volunteer information."

    (49:55) Why generational trauma shows up in our bodies, and how breaking silence is the first step toward healing

    (1:02:40) Nicole talks about her infertility struggle and reveals some surprising information with Erica and Milah
