Have you ever looked at the news, looked at your kid's half-eaten snack plate, and wondered if the entire country is gaslighting you at the same time?

In this episode, we talk about the Epstein files, the political circus surrounding them, and why so many of us are feeling politically homeless as 2025 drags itself to the finish line. Nothing about this season feels calm, and pretending otherwise is its own kind of delusion.

We get into power, accountability, the way both parties talk down to parents, and how moms end up carrying the emotional load of a political system that refuses to just say the quiet part out loud. We also bring back our DGAF Mom Moment with the Hot or Not Edition, because sometimes laughing at the chaos is the only thing keeping us upright.

If you are tired, confused, or one performative political lecture away from snapping, grab your hot drink and tune in.
