This is one of those conversations every parent needs to hear...so we had to RUN IT BACK.

Certified sex educator, intimacy expert, and bestselling author Shan Boodram joins the Mamas for an honest, hilarious, and deeply informative conversation about how to talk to our children about their bodies, boundaries, consent, crushes, and sex—without fear or shame.

From toddlers touching themselves to teenagers navigating their first relationships, Shan walks us through what healthy sexual development actually looks like at every age and explains why giving kids the correct language for their body parts can be one of the most powerful ways to protect them.

The Mamas also get personal, sharing their own experiences with purity culture, parenting teenagers, and the very real tension between wanting to keep our children safe while preparing them for healthy, loving relationships.

Whether you’re raising toddlers, tweens, or teens, this episode is packed with practical guidance, unforgettable laughs, and the kind of information many of us wish our own parents had.

Trust us: save this episode, send it to your partner, and share it with every parent you know.

Mother’s Day is coming… but what do moms actually want?

In this episode, the Mamas get real about the gap between expectation and reality—from breakfast-in-bed moments that still come with responsibility, to the truth that sometimes the best gift is space, rest, and not being needed for a few hours.

We talk about:

Why “a day off” doesn’t always feel like a day off

Navigating Mother’s Day with partners, kids… and your own mama

The guilt (and necessity) of choosing yourself

Teaching our kids to care for us the way we care for them

And the bigger conversation: setting boundaries, standing in your truth, and loving yourself more

Of course, it wouldn’t be The Mama’s Den without a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and some unfiltered moments along the way.

If you’ve ever felt like Mother’s Day didn’t quite hit the way you hoped… this one is for you.

And don’t forget—we’re outside all May for our Mom’s Night Out Tour. Come celebrate motherhood with us in real life!

Right after our very first live show, we sat down and told the truth about what it actually took to make it happen — the pressure, the fear, the behind-the-scenes chaos… and the moments we weren’t sure we could pull it off at all. We went back and tightened this episode because the message still hits.

It’s scary. It’s hard. And it’s exactly what moms do.

The Mama’s Den is on tour starting one week from today, May 4th.
