  • Hey Mom… Can We Talk About Mental Health? Part 2
    Jan 21 2026

    In Part Two, we slow the conversation down and talk about what it really means to show up for someone you love when they’re struggling.

    This episode is about presence—how good intentions can sometimes miss the mark, why fixing isn’t the same as supporting, and how simply staying can be more powerful than saying the perfect thing.

    Together, Mom, Daughter, and Sister share their perspectives on what helps, what hurts, and what they wish people understood when it comes to mental health.

    We close with a reminder for anyone carrying more than they let on:
    You’re not behind.
    You’re not broken.
    You’re human—and you don’t have to carry it alone.

    If you’ve ever wanted to help but didn’t know how, or hoped someone would sit with you instead of rushing you through your feelings, this conversation is for you.

    Listen gently. Share generously.

  • Hey Mom… Can We Talk About Mental Health?”
    Jan 14 2026

    What happens when stress builds up quietly… until it doesn’t?

    In this episode of Calling Mom, we’re having an honest, generational conversation about mental health — the kind that usually happens in the car, late at night, or mid-meltdown. From anxiety and emotional overwhelm to boundaries, therapy, and practical tools, we talk about what it really looks like to navigate mental health as women in different stages of life.

    With three voices and three perspectives, we share personal stories, signs we’ve learned not to ignore, and what’s actually helped us move toward healing. No shame. No fixing. Just real talk, compassion, and reminders that you’re not alone.

    If you’ve ever thought:

    • “I don’t know why I feel this way.”

    • “I should be able to handle this.”

    • “I just need someone to talk to…”

    This conversation is for you.

    Listener reminder: It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to rest. And it’s okay to talk about mental health — out loud.

  • Hey Mom… Why Is Being a Grown Girl So Expensive?!
    Jan 7 2026

    Why does everything cost money… and why does it all hit at once?

    In this episode of The Calling Mom Podcast, CJ and Jaden talk about the shock of grown-girl expenses — groceries that feel like a vacation payment, bills you didn’t know existed, and the emotional chaos of girl math vs. real math.

    We laugh through money mistakes, play “Worth It or Regret It,” and share gentle, no-pressure money tips for real life.

    No shame. No financial lectures. Just honest conversation and a reminder that you’re not behind — you’re learning.
