The One Where Our Moms Hijack the Podcast
<div> <p>Happy Mother’s Day from Sidetracked!</p><p>This week, Cynthia and Heather celebrate by bringing on two very special guests: their moms. What follows is equal parts heartfelt, nostalgic, and absolutely hilarious. Between forgotten hearing aids, technology struggles, and one mom admitting she doesn’t actually listen to the podcast, the episode is entertaining from the very start.</p><p>The conversation somehow moves from Mother’s Day wisdom to Cynthia accidentally coating herself in hairspray instead of self-tanner, Heather preparing for Texas hail with patio cushions and rope, and a memorable conversation involving old bridal lingerie and adult daughters.</p><p>It’s a fun, laugh-out-loud episode full of stories about motherhood, family, and the introduction of a new word you’ll never say with a straight face again. And for those wanting more, the Super Trackers bonus episode includes even more stories from Kathy and Dorothy, plus some genuinely meaningful wisdom about faith, prayer, and motherhood.</p><p>**<strong>Sign up to be a supertracker in the next two weeks and will pick one person to get a cameo from us! </strong></p><p>Become a Supertracker: <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">sign up here</a> </p><p>Connect with Us: </p></div><ul> <li>Website: <a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/">Sidetracked</a> </li> <li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesidetrackedshow/">CynthiaHeather (@thesidetrackedshow)</a> </li> <li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SIDETRACKED-SHOW">sidetracked with cynthia & heather</a> </li> <li><a href="https://sidetracked.supercast.com/ama">Ask Me Anything - Sidetracked</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dontmomalone/?hl=en">Heather MacFadyen (@dontmomalone)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cynthiayanof/?hl=en">Cynthia Wilkinson Yanof (@cynthiayanof)</a></li> </ul><div><p>Links Mentioned: </p></div><ul> <li> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/dontmomalone/list/A5G7UTOEH41O?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_84NDSF0005TQV2CQKJJH">Amazon Storefront</a>–all our faves in one place!</li> <li> <a href="https://amzn.to/4dt4wD8">Self Tanner </a>that looks like hairspray</li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/4u8WTHK">Inflatable car cover</a></li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-146-what-college-didnt-teach-them-molly-and/id1687839937?i=1000764350006">Kate and Molly on Messmerized</a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/capri-blue-volcano-tin-candle2?color=097&type=STANDARD">Volcano candle</a> or nice candle </li> <li><a href="https://a.co/d/0gm2gf7y">Curling iron </a></li> <li> <a href="https://amzn.to/3QQFtBf">Necklaces</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.soma.com/store/category/panties/cat40090">Soma Undies </a></li> <li> <a href="https://amzn.to/4w0NlQr">Rain coat outfit for my goose</a> </li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/4cUdqrN">Mesh ballerina flats</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/4tM2zHI">New set of hot rollers</a></li> </ul><div> <br>Featured Sponsor:</div><ul><li> <strong>PrepDish</strong>–It’s basically meal planning and grocery shopping done for me.
