    “Is It Really That Serious?!” Send Me A Text! 🫣❤️

    In this special Kid Edition of Is It Really That Serious?!, host Amanda Hodges sits down with her son for a funny, honest, and heartwarming mom and son podcast conversation about life, school, family, and the things adults tend to overcomplicate. This episode is extra meaningful because it was recorded on his 11th birthday, making it both a celebration and a real-life reflection of their close bond.

    Through goofy moments, playful jokes, and raw kid honesty, this episode explores parenting, childhood perspectives, emotional growth, and family dynamics in a way that’s relatable, lighthearted, and unexpectedly deep. From school stress to kindness, laughter, and love, listeners get an authentic look at life through a child’s eyes — and a reminder that not everything is as serious as we make it.

    Whether you’re a parent, mom, dad, caregiver, or simply someone who enjoys real conversations with humor and heart, this episode will make you laugh, reflect, and feel seen.

    🎉 Happy 11th Birthday to my son — and welcome to Episode 6 of Is It Really That Serious?! Kid Edition.

    “Is It Really That Serious?!” Send Me A Text! 🫣❤️

    I’m joined by my nieces Kayla and Laniyah, with a bonus appearance from my nephew Jordan, for a real and relatable conversation titled “We’re Trending But Still Not Fully Heard.”


    In this 54-minute episode, we talk about mental health, growing up in the age of social media, feeling seen online but overlooked in real life, and what it’s really like being young, vocal, and still trying to find your voice. The conversation is honest, funny, and serious all at the same time — just how we like it.


    If you’ve ever felt visible but not understood, this episode is for you.

  • Episode 4 (Mini Episode): Broke, Blessed & Laughing Through Christmas
    Dec 22 2025

    “Is It Really That Serious?!” Send Me A Text! 🫣❤️

    In this mini episode, I’m sharing a real, honest moment about navigating the holiday season while feeling broke, stretched thin, and still choosing to laugh. Christmas isn’t always picture-perfect, and sometimes faith is the only thing holding everything together. This episode is about finding gratitude in the middle of stress, recognizing blessings when money is tight, and laughing through moments that could easily break you.


    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed during the holidays, questioned how you’re going to make it through, or needed a reminder that God is still present even in hard seasons, this episode is for you. Broke, Blessed & Laughing Through Christmas is short, relatable, and full of encouragement for anyone learning how to keep the faith while life feels heavy.
