Valentine’s Day may be behind us, but it’s one of those holidays that always seems to linger.

In this episode of Momarchy, we catch up on our week and talk through what’s been sitting with us from holiday expectations to the way light and heavy topics seem to collide more than ever.

We react to unsettling headlines, including the kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie’s mother and the tragic news involving Jill Biden’s ex-husband, before shifting into Trump Math, where we break down exaggerated claims and political spin with facts and skepticism.

From there, we move into Valentine’s plans, rom-com favorites, and the very online experience of reading troll comments, because apparently that’s part of modern life now. We wrap things up with genuine gratitude for everyone who listens, engages, and keeps this community thoughtful, funny, and honest.
