Summary
Mom groups are supposed to offer support, but what happens when the energy turns judgmental, competitive, or quietly toxic? Inspired by Ashley Tisdale’s viral essay about leaving a toxic mom group, Michaela dives into how auras can assist with knowing how to choose the right mom group for you, and when to leave the wrong one. Michaela talks about what your aura needs in this type of community and what problematic moms can look like in aura color. Scott and Michaela read listeners’ experiences with tough mom groups and explore how understanding your own aura can help you choose communities that actually support you, instead of drain you.

| 0:36.0 | we would compare stroller prices. Stroller prices. Like who has the most expensive stroller? Yeah. That was a big topic of conversation. It was interesting. Everyone's child in my mom's group was a genius. Everyone was a genius. That's true. Everyone was the first to clap, walk, smell. That's true. You know, go to the potty, whatever. Yeah. Everyone was a genius. Mine rolled over first. He's a genius. He's a genius. Right. That's where the, I think you got in trouble. Okay, that's really funny. Okay. Well, I was the one in the mom group and you were the one who was listening to my trials and tribulations. Yes, you would tell me your tales. |
| 1:11.7 | Yes, but today we're talking about what your aura color needs from a mom group. |
| 1:17.1 | But where did this originate? |
| 1:18.7 | Where did this topic come from? |
| 1:20.7 | Well, over on Substack, the chat aura culture and I were like, hey, Missa McKeelah, can you talk about this Ashley Tisdale drama? And I was just reading about it that day. I was like, oh, my gosh. So I thought that would be like a cool podcast topic. I thought that was someone that was in the chat on subsection. I didn't know who that was. You're like, I don't know who Ashley Tisdell. All right. So here it is. So Ashley Tisdale, and this is going to be really short, this is just to surmise it. |
| 1:47.2 | She is like an actress and a, |
| 1:50.1 | you know, a singer and she's famous. And she thought she finally found her mom village until it |
| 1:58.5 | started, I guess, to feel more hurtful than helpful. |
| 2:01.2 | But then in this past December, she wrote in her own, like, blog on her website, |

Because the people in our group are Hillary Duff, Mandy Moore, Megan Traynor, and like a bunch of other kind of, like some other influence. It's actually a really big mom group. Like my Indigo is like, ooh, no thank you. But like it's some other influencers and whatnot. So I thought I'd go through just very quickly because everyone's like, what are their color colors?
