Who decided we have to have life figured out by a certain age?

This week on Mom Gone Mild, I'm joined by Laná Huyck, a high school counselor of 20 years and the creator of Unfinished Stories, a podcast about becoming, not arriving.

At 47, Laná decided it was time to take a chance on herself and pursue something new. We talk about the pressure women face to follow a certain timeline, overcoming self-doubt, learning to set boundaries, and finding the courage to start before you feel ready.

From navigating life's unexpected plot twists to realizing that failure is part of growth, this conversation is a reminder that you're not behind, you're still becoming.

Because the truth is, none of us have it all figured out. And maybe that's the beauty of it.

It’s getting spooky on Mom Gone Mild! 🎃👻

My sister Sofia is back for our Halloween Special, and this one is pure chaos. We’re getting into listener submitted ghost stories, including a VERY haunted house 👀, a dating story that is genuinely scarier than any horror movie, a Halloween party that ends with a Titanic worthy moment, and an anonymous confession.

Then we’re digging through the archives and rating our Halloween costumes from over the years, which obviously turns into us roasting each other, before finishing with a Halloween edition of “Me or Her.”

Basically, it’s a Halloween sleepover with two sisters, questionable stories, old photos, and absolutely no filter.

Grab your candy, pour a drink, and hang out with us. 🖤

Happy Halloween from Mom Gone Mild! 🎃

Lawyer. Mom. Cannabis advocate. Podcast host. And now, romance author. Joyce Gerber has never been afraid of a new chapter.

This week on Mom Gone Mild, Lex sits down with Joyce, the creator and former host of the award-winning The Canna Mom Show, to talk about motherhood, cannabis, breaking stigma, and what happens when you allow yourself to evolve beyond the career or identity you thought you were supposed to have.

We also get into Joyce’s debut novel, She’s Taking a Break, a contemporary cannabis-friendly romance following Annie McGrath as she leaves her high-profile life in LA and returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts. There’s family, an old flame who happens to now be a priest, a rock-star husband, plenty of complicated history…and yes, a little cannabis along the way. 🌿📖

Joyce also shares the story behind The Canna Mom Show and the community she’s built around giving women a voice and changing the conversation around cannabis and caregiving.
