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.

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.

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.

Buckle up… because in this episode, I sat down with my sisters and let me tell you I should’ve had a therapist, a referee, AND a mute button present.

The Sisterhood Chronicles: Unfiltered is exactly what it sounds like: chaotic, hilarious, emotional, and full of moments none of us agreed to talk about… but somehow we did anyway.

We’re unpacking childhood memories that STILL don’t make sense, calling out who was the dramatic one, who cried the most, who always swore they were right, and who was running the house like a tiny CEO. (Spoiler: ALL of us think it was us.)

Expect:

• Sister jokes that went way too far but somehow still loving
• Childhood stories we probably should’ve kept in the vault
• Four grown women trying (and failing) to talk over each other
• Laughter so loud the mic gave up a few times

If you’ve got siblings, this episode will have you saying, “YUP that’s EXACTLY how it be at my house.”

If you don’t have siblings… this episode might convince you to stay an only child.

If you grew up in a Black household, you already know — we didn’t need TV for entertainment… we were the entertainment!

In this short and honest episode, I’m taking y’all back to the moments that shaped us: from plastic couch covers to Saturday morning cleanups with gospel blasting, and those famous “don’t go in and out my house!” speeches that still live rent-free in our heads.

This is a love letter to the homes that raised us, the rules that made sense (kinda), and the laughter that kept us going.

Is It Really That Serious?! drops biweekly — bringing real talk, healing, humor, and nostalgia with every episode.
