Good Moms Bad Choices

May 27 · 1h 5m

This week, the Good Moms are calling BS on the internet’s obsession with shaming single moms.   Erica and Milah tap in about Dr. Sarah and all the “high value” think pieces that act like a woman’s worth is measured by how many kids she has and whether somebody’s calling her “wife.” They break down why that mindset is dangerous for Black single moms especially, how it keeps women stuck in trash relationships, and why your value has nothing to do with your relationship status.   In this episode, you’ll hear: Why single moms are not the problem, no matter what the algorithm says The difference between holding your friends accountable and publicly clowning women for clicks How fear of being a “single mom” keeps people in relationships they should’ve left five years ago Real talk on baby daddies, boundaries, and loving yourself more than you love the potential Bad Choice of the Week: macro shrooms in the desert, calling for backup on kid pickup, and making a new plug friend Whorie Time: a sunrise threesome, one condom left, and two very enthusiastic cannabis kings Why “Don’t Be a Dumb Bitch” is less an insult and more a love note and lifestyle   Tune in for a raw, hilarious episode about calling out single‑mom shame, making “bad” choices that still lead to growth, and redefining your worth in love, sex, and motherhood.   --------------------------------------------- Watch this episode and more on YouTube.   Come vibe with us on Patreon for full visual episodes, bonus content, and early releases.   Join our private Facebook group and drop your anonymous advice questions, secrets, or mom vents. --------------------------------------------- JOIN US ON OUR NEXT GOOD VIBE RETREAT!!   Limited time discount on our Good Vibes Retreat when you use promo 🇨🇷 Costa Rica – July 14–19: Mommy and Me Retreat Six days to slow down, tap in with your baby, and actually enjoy each other.   🇨🇷 Costa Rica – July 24–29: Reset and Vibe Six days and five nights of releasing, recharging, and remembering who the hell you are with like minded women.   Connect with us: @GoodMoms_BadChoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia @WatchErica @MILAH_MAPPSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In hopes that having her partner’s child would solidify this outcome, Jess became pregnant at nineteen but begrudgingly learned that the vision she had for her life—as a wife and mother—would have to be reimagined.After multiple attempts at a relationship between her and her son’s father failed, Jess accepted that, while they would never get married, they were forever linked by the lifetime commitment of raising a child together. With her trademark wit and perspective, Jess shares her experiences with valuable and vulnerable insight for coparents who struggle with what it means to put their children first while protecting them from the ups and downs of adult relationships. ’Til Death Do We Parent is an inspirational journey to coparenting with ease and humor. ---------------------------------------- GOOD VIBES RETREAT INFO 🇨🇷 COSTA RICA 🇨🇷 July 14th- July 19th - Mommy and Me Retreat in Costa Rica Come join us in Costa Rica for our first-ever Mommy & Me Retreat!

Who Raised These Kids? Oh… Us 😭   This week, Erica and Milah talk about identity and alter egos, parenting in the age of TikTok, and the reality check that comes when your kids start acting… a little too grown.   They get into the group chat drama that unfolds when kids get caught doing something they shouldn’t, and the tough (but necessary) conversations that follow. From questioning the idea of “bad influences” to learning how to guide kids without losing trust, this episode feels especially real for parents navigating this digital era.   You can expect to hear conversations about: Letting go of control as your kids become their own people How social media is shaping behavior earlier than expected Being honest with your kids about the internet and its consequences Health spirals, colonics, and questioning everything we eat A surprisingly passionate whore tip you probably weren’t ready for A listener story that proves revisiting exes is… usually not the move LIMITED TIME DISCOUNT FOR OUR GOOD VIBES RETREAT WHEN YOU USE PROMO CODE "RESTORATION " ------------------------- Watch This episode & more on YouTube!  Catch up with us over at Patreon and get all our Full visual episodes, bonus content & early episode releases.
