...because the cyclist wasn’t the problem. This week, Karen and Leila break down a viral clip that had us clutching our steering wheels. A woman in traffic decides the real villain of her day… is a cyclist legally using the lane. The biker’s chill. But sis in the car? She’s got full-blown road rage and zero understanding of traffic law. Watch the clip. Stay for the commentary.

Kamoni booked a one-way ticket to Colombia with nothing but his checked bag and his last paycheck, and a dream he clearly borrowed from someone else. No itinerary. No Spanish. No travel insurance. Just vibes and a passport after getting fired Mid-Week.

He landed in Bogotá like he was starring in his own travel documentary—except there was no crew, no budget, and no plan. Within two weeks, he’d spent all his money on street food, Columbian food , and a guided  Pablo Escobar tour ”that may  or may not have been a real good idea for him. Listen as Karen describes Kamoni's Columbian Chaos and how parents have to learn to mind our business and let these adult kids figure it out or we will forever be saying These Can't Be My Kids!

The Car? The Coffin? Or No Accountability? You tell us. This episode dives into grief, gaslighting, and general accountability. #ItsTheAudacityForMe #NewEpisodeAlert #TuneInTonight #FYP

You gave them the résumé, the references, and the ride to work. They gave you tardiness, attitude, and a termination notice with your last name on it. In this brutally honest and hilariously painful episode, Leila unpacks what happens when your adult kids fumble the professional opportunities you built from scratch. From missed shifts to missed signals, it’s a masterclass in entitlement and the fine line between parenting and HR.

Expect laughter, a few deep sighs, and the kind of storytelling only a mother with a mic can deliver.

Ever been blindsided by a Performance Improvement Plan that felt more like a corporate breakup letter than a growth opportunity? In this episode, Leila and Karen dive headfirst into the absurdity of being placed on a PIP—especially when the only thing that needed improving was management’s self-awareness.

Whether you’re currently on a PIP, survived one, or just love a good workplace drama, this episode is your cathartic laugh and empowering pep talk rolled into one.

In this episode, Karen and Leila connect with another mom of adult children and dive deep into the hilarious and horrifying aspects of parenting.

You ever meet someone and barely finish learning their name before you're hit with an invite that screams, “Pack your bags, empty your wallet, and pretend we’re besties”? Yeah, us too. This episode spills all the tea on a bachelorette invite that had us blinking in disbelief—complete with group chat drama, five-star expectations, and a price tag that said “ma'am, be serious.” We hadn’t even RSVPed and already felt like escapees from a reality show. Buckle up because this audacious tale is about to get real… and ridiculous.

Motherhood doesn’t end when they move out—it just evolves into emotionally-funded chaos, surprise Venmo requests, and 2AM therapy texts. In this episode, Karen breaks down the science of stress-induced heartache with a hilariously honest look at Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, aka Broken Heart Syndrome: a temporary condition where emotional whiplash causes the heart’s left ventricle to balloon, usually after intense stress.

Karen and Leila takes listeners deep into the trenches of parenting adult children—where love runs strong and boundaries run thin. This episode explores how the daily drama of grown-up offspring can tug at your heartstrings… and your actual heart.

Because this is motherhood: part unconditional love, part cardiac trauma—100% fueled by adult kid shenanigans.

Feeling drained, frustrated, and questioning every parenting decision you’ve ever made? You’re not alone. Grab your favorite drink and join Karen and Leila as they unpack the chaos of parenting adult children—sharing firsthand experiences with the stress, the drama, and those jaw-dropping moments that make us say, These Can't Be My Kids!

How do we set boundaries when our children repeatedly make poor life choices? Are there mothers out there who have finally said, Enough is enough and cut ties? Fathers, you’ve been known to draw the line with your sons—but could you do the same for your daughters?

Let’s talk about the tough decisions, the messy emotions, and the reality of protecting our peace.

In this episode of These Can't Be My Kids, we tackle the age-old struggle of parental favoritism—or at least the perception of it. When adult children are convinced, you coddle one, enable another, and outright neglect the third, how do parents keep the peace? Is fairness even possible, or is it just another myth of parenthood? Join us as we dig into the guilt, the accusations, and the exhausting search for balance in a family where nobody seems to agree on what's "fair."
