Get ready for a rollercoaster of realness in this extra-sparkly Mother’s Day episode with Lindsay & Sunny — the duo that brings heart, humor, and hot takes on what it really means to be a #GoodMom.

🌸 What’s Inside the Episode:

✨ Mother’s Day Hits Different When You’ve Lost Your Mom

Lindsay opens up about the bittersweet emotions of Mother's Day without her own mom — and how she turns grief into giving with 50 gift bags for single moms. (P.S. Never underestimate the power of a good loofah and a “You Are Amazing” bracelet.)

🛍️ Kindness + Creativity = Mom Magic

Learn how the Kindness Crew builds gift bags that are as practical as they are pampering — complete with razors, soap, and affirmations that stick (literally — they’re on bracelets). Moms need love too, especially the ones who often get overlooked.

🌹 Twin Girls with Entrepreneurial Sass

Sunny’s daughters are low-key business moguls. This year, they’re setting up a pop-up flower stand on Mother’s Day for all those last-minute gifters. Genius, right?

🧃 Meet the “Good Mom Yeti”
The ultimate mom upgrade is here — no shade if you're still sipping from your condensation-drenched Dollar Store cup, but girl, it’s time. Lindsay surprises Sunny with this sassy stainless-steel superstar, because hydration is self-care (especially when filled with lemonade or… whatever).

🎨 Paint, Posters & Secrets

Sunny’s girls are up to something — there’s paint involved, secrecy, and the kind of creative chaos that only Mother’s Day projects can deliver. Spoiler: it might not be Pinterest-worthy, but it’s full of love.

⚾ Lindsay’s Bucket List Moment: The Savannah Bananas Game

Because nothing says “Mom Time” like watching dudes in banana costumes run the bases on stilts. Yes, it’s a real thing. Yes, it’s amazing.

🛁 Bubble Baths, Essential Oils, & Saying No to Diapers (For One Day)

Moms, take the dang break. Sunny reminds us that even if your toddlers are feral, you can still claim your bubble bath and your peace. And we second that.

🎉 Takeaways You Can Use (Even If It's Not Mother's Day Anymore):

• If you’re missing your mom, honor her by loving someone else.

• A small gift with a big message (like a bracelet that says “You are brave”) can make a mom’s whole week.

• Your kids don’t need a Pinterest board to love on you — just glitter and a little imagination.

• Don’t wait for someone to spoil you — treat yourself. Seriously.

• Every mom needs a loofah. This is your sign.

💬 We want to hear from YOU:

What did you do for Mother’s Day? Did your kids make you cry (in a good way)? Leave a voicemail and tell us everything — the good, the glittery, and the chaotic — over at https://goodmom.org.

Politics + family = 🔥 ...and not the good kind.

In this episode of #GoodMom, Lindsay and Sunny tackle one of the trickiest topics for any household: how to navigate political differences without losing your mind—or your relationships. Whether it’s intense dinner table debates, unsolicited “educational” books from grandparents 😬, or just trying to keep the peace around the kids, this conversation is all about keeping love front and center... even when you completely disagree.

💬 Lindsay shares:

“I don’t do hate. I do listening, I do local action, and I focus on creating the kind of world I actually want to live in. And if people think I’m ‘crazy’ for that? So be it.”

💬 Sunny adds:

“We can teach our kids the structure of our government—without the spin. They don’t need propaganda. They need tools to think for themselves and follow their hearts.”

✨ In this episode:

• 🧠 Why neither mom picks a political “side” (and why that freaks people out)

• 🫣 The time Sunny's mom secretly ordered political books for her girls

• 😤 The moment Lindsay’s family thought she must be "1000% for the President"

• 🧘‍♀️ How to avoid turning family into a battlefield

• 🙏 The power of the Ho'oponopono prayer: “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”

• 🧭 Teaching kids to use their values as their compass—not someone else’s agenda

Whether you lean left, right, or totally off the grid 🌍, this episode is about staying grounded, loving big, and knowing when to speak—and when to just hug it out.

🎧 Tune in for honest reflections, a few laughs, and some soul-level parenting wisdom.

Guess who’s back together, mamas? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ Sunny + Lindsay in the same virtual room again, and trust us, it feels so good. We’ve been swapping mom stories, laughing too loud, and cooking up new ways to connect with YOU. (Stay tuned, you’re gonna love it. 😉)

🏈 Friday Night Frights
Sunny’s got a doozy this week: her 15-year-old son took a hit on the football field and ended up with a concussion. Cue: ER visit and mom tears. 😬💔 Don’t worry — he’s back on the field now, but not before giving his mama a serious heart attack.

💪 Lessons From the Sidelines
Turns out, football isn’t just about bruises and touchdowns — it’s teaching discipline, commitment, and maybe even how to handle overprotective moms. (Ahem. Sunny. 😂) Meanwhile, Lindsay dishes on her own kiddo’s sports adventures and why sometimes letting go is the hardest — and most powerful — parenting move we can make.

✨ What You’ll Hear Us Spill About

• Why letting kids get banged up (a little) is part of the gig 🤕

• The impossible tug-of-war between “protective mama bear” 🐻 and “chill, let-them-live mom” 🧘‍♀️

• How sports, hobbies, and even quitting can help kids find their “thing” 🎸📸♟️

• And the life lessons tucked inside scary, messy, real parenting moments 💡

So pour that coffee ☕, buckle up, and let’s get real: sometimes being a #GoodMom means ugly crying in the ER… and still finding the funny later. 😅💕
