Hold On, I'm Calling My Mom

About Hold On, I'm Calling My Mom

Everything you'd never want your mom to know, but I told mine anyways ;) I'm a long-distance momma's boy, and my ride-or-die mom and I talk about dating, intimacy, growth and all the stuff families usually avoid. It's honest, messy, loving… and we say it all out loud.

   EP69: I Called My Mom Because She Went Viral for Living in 1996

   This week I called my mom because Barb went viral… and apparently we have a much bigger problem to unpack: why does this woman insist on living in 1996 when the rest of us are in 2026? We discuss her completely normal decision to visit not one, but TWO different banks just to pay her car payment and her insistence that everyone else is doing the exact same thing. Meanwhile, I experience my first robotic massage, which somehow leads my mom to casually reveal that a massage therapist once FELL ASLEEP while she was lying there naked. Plus, Jordan is redoing our apartment, and while I appreciate everything he's doing to make our home better, the process brought up a childhood trigger I really wasn't expecting. Technology. Trauma. Two banks. And Barb. Just another week of I Called My Mom ;)

   EP68: I Called My Mom Because It's the Season 4 Premiere, Betch!

   We're back for a whole new season :) This week I called my mom because she's getting ready to move across the country to Southern California and thought she found the one that would make it all worth it… until it wasn't exactly what she expected. We recap my latest trip back home to New Jersey to help my mom get her shit together and discover a homemade shrine dedicated to the last family member I expected. Plus, an uncomfortable realization courtesy of my brother and boyfriend: sometimes the people we love most become the practice ground for our hardest moments. And speaking of family… we have a pretty major update from my boyfriend's side. I Called My Mom is back for Season 4 ;)

   EP67: I Called My Mom Because The Move We'd Been Waiting 10 Years For Was Falling Apart

   This week I called my mom because after months of searching, she finally found the place she was going to call home and was getting ready to move across the country to be closer to me. Then her dream home fell through. We talk about the disappointment of hitting a major roadblock in a move we've been planning for months, my first-ever Erewhon experience (yes, it only took me 10 years), and whether the Hailey Bieber smoothie is actually worth the hype. Plus, I share a huge realization I've had about this chapter of my life. For so long, I've been looking at everything that's happened through the lens of loss and setbacks. But what if this isn't the chapter that's breaking me? What if it's actually the chapter that's building me? And maybe the biggest realization of all: I thought I was doing it alone, but I've had a team behind me this whole time.
