Summary

This week, Good Moms question if we're all raising tech-addicted children, why it might be worth ditching the nail salon and switching to press-on nails, and the importance of surrendering to the mess and simplifying your life.

Timestamps: 

  •  (01:20) Back-to-school chaos + surrendering to the mess
    • Co-parenting differences: Kids act more independent at dad’s houses, while moms sometimes overcompensate.
  • (7:55)  Tech-addicted kids and why boredom is healthy
    • Rethinking education and self-learning. Traditional schools are designed to make “worker bees” vs. “free-thinkers”  
    • Good Moms want to implement tech-free hours but admit it’s hard to enforce.
  •  (37:13) Beauty standards, gel nails, and DIY deodorant
  • (40:06) Love Island reunion, colorism, and reality TV brain drain
    • Reality TV Stars and Their Long-Term Plans (45:50)
    • Brittany Renner family drama (48:26) 
  • (1:01:00) Good Vibes Retreat
  •  (01:39:00) Affirmation + tarot: surrender to the mess, embrace abundance
