Cassidy’s Holiday Weekend Recap

Season 2, Episode 26 — Cassidy is back with a post–4th of July update filled with everything a classic summer weekend should have—lake days, fireworks, hot dogs, s’mores, family time, and a few moments that reminded her just how much life changes after becoming a parent. Remember when jumping off cliffs, riding the sketchiest carnival rides, or hopping on a tube behind a boat sounded like a great idea? Somewhere between adulthood and motherhood, our brains started turning every fun activity into a scene straight out of Final Destination. 😅 In this episode, Cassidy talks about why so many parents experience this shift, how age and experience make us realize we aren’t invincible, and the constant balancing act of keeping our kids safe without wrapping them in bubble wrap. Because while we want to protect them from every possible danger, we also want them to make memories, build confidence, and experience the adventures that make childhood so magical. If you’ve ever found yourself mentally calculating every possible thing that could go wrong while your kids are simply having the time of their lives…this one’s for you! Grab your favorite summer drink, pull up a lawn chair, and join Cassidy for a candid conversation about motherhood, anxiety, and making the most of the memories anyway. ❤️ Disclaimer: Podcasts featured on Shody Media are independently owned and operated by their respective hosts.

Nidia Heston: "Mama Fuego"

Can You “Divorce” Your Parents?

Season 2, Episode 22— In this episode of Mom’s Favorite, we dive into the growing trend of adult children going low-contact or no-contact with their parents. Is family estrangement a healthy boundary, a cultural shift, or something more complicated? We’re exploring perspectives from both adult children and parents, discussing emotional immaturity, accountability, forgiveness, and whether family relationships should be unconditional simply because you’re related. It’s a nuanced conversation about one of the most emotional and controversial family topics today—and why sometimes the people who love each other the most end up the farthest apart.

Karla Salerno: The Emotional Support Coworker

🎙️ Season 2, Episode 19– Cassidy is joined by former coworker, L&D nurse, and human GoldenDoodle, Karla aka “Karlita,” for an episode full of nurse-chat, motherhood, trauma-informed care, and just the right amount of neuro-spicy chaos. Before labor & delivery, Karla worked in pediatric med-surg and mental health, and the girls talk about how that experience shaped the way she connects so deeply with patients — especially the ones who are guarded, anxious, or carrying past trauma. They also get into family life, motherhood, and the personal experiences that gave Karla a level of empathy that can’t be taught in nursing school. And naturally, Cassidy and Karla also discuss ADHD, emotional support coworkers, and the fact that Cassidy basically spent months gently bullying Karla into realizing she has raging ADHD. It’s heartfelt, funny, slightly unhinged, and very nurse-coded.
