In this laugh-out-loud and way too real episode of Mom AF, Kaeli and Jess unpack the glamorous chaos that is a family vacation. Spoiler alert: it’s not a vacation for moms — it’s the same circus, just with different scenery (and a lot more sand in your snacks).

They cover:

• What they would change about their partners (and what their partners would definitely change about them)
• The mental load of family travel (packing everything from peanut butter to pool floaties)
• Why vacationing with only one kid makes you their unpaid personal entertainer
• Airport anxiety, poop breaks that last 40 minutes, and the mysterious black hole that is “vacation rest”
• And why kids remember exactly the wrong things from every trip

Plus, Kaeli tells the story of being attacked by rogue roosters in the Outer Banks, and Jess admits to some questionable parenting travel hacks that may or may not involve boobs and illegal car naps.

You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, you might rage-clean your suitcase — but you’ll definitely feel seen.

🎧 Listen in if you’ve ever packed your whole house just to cook for your whole family in someone else's kitchen.

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Jess and Kaeli open up about their healing journeys after surviving abusive relationships. From the little kid dreams that defined “making it” to the complex trauma responses that still show up in healthy relationships today, they share what it’s really like to reclaim your peace, set boundaries, and find love after abuse.

If you’ve ever felt hypervigilant, guilty, or even confused by kindness in a new relationship — you’re not alone. This episode is your reminder that healing is messy but you are not broken. You are becoming.

👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 What we talk about:

✨ How childhood dreams of “making it” shape our adult self-worth (ice maker fridges & garage snacks, anyone?)
✨ The insidious hypervigilance that lingers long after leaving
✨ Why quiet, healthy love can feel unsettling at first
✨ How our kids inspire us to do better & model healthier coping
✨ The guilt of staying, the shame of leaving — and why neither define you
✨ Green flags to look for in a new relationship
✨ Why therapy is so important — and why one bad therapist doesn’t mean you should give up
✨ Building a new community after being alienated
✨ Loving yourself through the messy middle

What starts as a convo about cancel culture turns into one of our most vulnerable episodes yet. We open up about our personal experiences with domestic violence—how it starts, why it’s so hard to leave, and the truth behind the statistics.

From love bombing and control to isolation, financial abuse, and emotional manipulation, this episode sheds light on what abuse actually looks like—especially for moms. If you’ve ever felt trapped, ashamed, or unsure whether what you’re going through is “bad enough,” this is for you.

💬 We Talk About:

• The “art vs. artist” debate (Kanye, JK Rowling, etc.)
• Real talk: gaslighting, love bombing, and control
• Why women stay—and how hard it is to leave
• How kids pick up on more than we realize
• What finally made us leave
• The system’s failure to protect survivors

This week, Kaeli and Jess kick off with a spicy round of Kill/Marry/Bang (yes, Timothée Chalamet catches a stray), then dive deep into what it really means to be a single mom. From breakups and breastfeeding to dating disasters and deadbeat dads, nothing is off-limits.

Kaeli shares what it was like raising a toddler in nursing school with no money, while Jess gets real about co-parenting with no co-parent at all. They unpack the guilt, the chaos, and the quiet wins that don’t get enough airtime. And they wrap it all up by going off on a Reddit post where a guy dumps a mom for having mixed-race kids. (Spoiler alert: microaggressions are a deal breaker.)

💬 In this episode:

• Dating while parenting solo (and why we don’t settle)
• Breastfeeding struggles and dad disconnection
• Co-parenting wins & total fails
• Reddit red flag: “I saw her kids were mixed and ran”
• The truth about single mom strength
