The Mature(ish) Mommas are back with a laughter-filled episode all about back-to-school season. From Caley’s first grader navigating big nerves (and surprising everyone with his smooth transition after some late-night gratitude parties) to Whitten declaring he “hates school” while Mom finds creative ways to support him—this one is packed with relatable mom moments. Caley even admits she told her son she was sitting in the parking lot just to help him through the day.

Meanwhile, Megan opens up about her decision not to send Caston to a second year of preschool. Instead, she’s savoring the one-on-one time, knowing school will claim him for the next 13+ years. Together, they dive into the tension every parent feels—anxiety or excitement, blues or blessings—and remind moms that there’s no single right way to do back-to-school. There are many paths, and the best one is the one that works for your family. With plenty of laughs, honesty, and encouragement, this episode is a back-to-school pep talk for every mom.
