Summary
This week, Good Moms are joined by actress, singer, and valley girl through and through, Chelsea Tavares. The ladies talk about navigating single motherhood, dating as a recognizable face in Hollywood, and what it really means to protect your peace — and your kid — while still living your life. They also get into the ever-present bitch-ass nigga epidemic, the Met Gala, and why LA beaches are simply not it.
You can expect to hear:
- Growing up in the industry and transitioning out of teen roles into adult ones
- The unique pressure of being a Black actress in Hollywood's casting machine
- Dating as a single mom — opportunists, love bombers, and the ones who leave you in Paris
- Why actors (especially the aspiring ones) might be undateable
- Raising a boy as a single mom and navigating co-parenting with intention
- Protecting your child's emotional world while still modeling real relationships
- The "BAN" epidemic and why we need to stop teaching girls to be careful and start teaching boys not to harm
- Auditioning in the age of self-tapes vs. the magic of being in the room
- Creating your own content and building confidence as a public figure
- Coachella, the Met Gala, and the performance of culture vs. actual culture
- The beauty and exhaustion of being an ambitious, dreaming woman
- Tarot, mushrooms, and finding gratitude in your own bathtub
