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.

Analyzing: The Crash

Season 2: Episode 21 — This week on Mom’s Favorite, Kim and Cassidy dive into the case behind Netflix’s The Crash — the documentary that had everyone pausing the TV every five minutes to say, “Wait… what?” We break down the controversial case, the courtroom drama, the evidence that sparked nonstop debate online, and the many questions that still have people divided. Was it deliberate? Reckless? Something in between? We’re discussing all of it with our completely unqualified but deeply passionate opinions. As always: respectful to the real people involved… but still asking the questions.

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.
