This week on Good Mom, Lindsay accidentally goes live mid–bite (classic 🤣) and we roll right into a very real conversation many parents are facing today:
What do you do when your grown child moves back home? 🏡💬
Lindsay shares a story about her friend’s 23-year-old daughter who moved back after college—now more independent, more adult, and… not exactly interested in contributing at home. 😅
Cue the tension, the questions, and the “Wait… what do we do now?” moments.
Sunny jumps in with some great perspective, including:✨ Why expectations matter (especially if you didn’t set them before they moved in)✨ How to create “conditions of satisfaction” instead of strict parent-child rules✨ How to talk to your adult kids like adults—not like they’re still 8 years old✨ Why boundaries actually help them become independent✨ And why it’s okay (and healthy!) to ask, “So… what’s your plan for moving out again?” 😉
We also get into:👩👧 How you have changed while they were away👀 Why old labels (“you always get car sick!”) don’t help anyone🧩 How to open tough conversations with respect, timing, and intention🏠 And how multigenerational living can be beautiful—as long as everyone feels respected.
This episode is packed with honesty, humor, and those “Oh wow, that’s so true” parenting moments.

Is your neighborhood a slice of paradise… or a circus? 🤡 Sunny and Lindsay are back to spill the tea on all the joys, chaos, and outright madness that comes with living in a community today. From HOA headaches to barking dogs at ungodly hours 🐕, and from Facebook drama to Ring cam shenanigans 📱, they’re covering it all with humor, honesty, and a little sass.
In this episode, we tackle:
✨ HOAs – or as we like to call them, “Hundreds of Annoyances” 🏡
✨ The dos and don’ts of dealing with noisy neighbors (without starting a neighborhood war!) ⚡
✨ How social media can turn tiny issues into full-blown community drama 🙄
✨ Real talk about communication, empathy, and building connection in your hood 💌
✨ Fun ways to stay sane when your kids, dogs, or neighbors are being ridiculous 🧘♀️
✨ A playful peek at the future of human connection – telepathy, anyone? 🧠💫
Whether your neighbors are angels or little gremlins, we’ve got laughs, stories, and advice to help you survive and maybe even thrive. Because being a good mom sometimes means navigating the neighborhood chaos… with style! 💅

Do you ever wake up thinking, “Today is gonna be smooth sailing” — only to have the universe laugh in your face? 😂 From your favorite restaurant suddenly refusing AmEx, to your phone “updating” itself into chaos, to your smart speaker deciding it’s smarter than you… sometimes it feels like the entire world is built to drive us nuts. It’s like death by a thousand paper cuts, and moms are left holding the Band-Aids.
On this episode of GoodMom, Lindsay and Sunny are serving up the real talk on those everyday annoyances that sneak up on us and pile on until you just want to scream into a pillow. But instead of letting it break us, we’re swapping strategies for staying sane:
✨ Grounding in the chaos – why taking your bare feet to the dirt actually works.
😴 The power of a nap – sometimes shutting down is the only way to reboot.
😂 Humor as medicine – because if you can’t laugh at your “smart” lock dying, what even is the point?
🧘 Knowing your limits – how saying “not now” can actually save your day (and your sanity).
We’ll also dive into the bigger picture — maybe all these annoyances aren’t random at all. Maybe they’re little nudges showing us the old systems are broken and it’s time for change. Until then? We laugh, we nap, we ground, and we keep it moving.
So pour yourself a giant cup of coffee (or hey, maybe a margarita 🍹), plug in your earbuds, and join us as we laugh our way through life’s little “you’ve got to be kidding me” moments.

This week, Lindsay and Sunny get real real about the voices in our heads (no, not those—okay maybe those)... we’re talking about the inner critic. You know, the one that says you’re not organized enough, patient enough, perfect enough—basically, just not enough.
But spoiler alert: That voice? 🐒 It’s just a monkey. And it doesn’t get to run the show.

📿 Monkey Mind = Ego: What the Buddhists got right, and how we can work with the chatter instead of getting sucked into it.
🎯 Intentions Over Perfection: When all else fails, anchor yourself in purpose. Why are you really doing this?
“Thank you for sharing, monkey. I’m going to my destiny.” 🙏
Yes, we’re quoting ourselves now. You should too.
That critical voice isn’t you—it’s old programming.
Perfection isn’t required to be a good mom (or a human).
You can hit reset at any moment with a breath and a clear intention.
Living in the "now" is the actual superpower.
🎉 Lindsay + Sunny’s Challenge to You:
