Summary
It's finally here -- the long-awaited mama's boy episode! We brought in marriage and family therapist Whitney Goodman to break down the mother-son dynamic and how the "mama's boy" forms, how it can look when you're dating/married to one, the different levels of impact it has on your relationship, how to approach the situation, what NOT to do and say, and more. We're also sharing our own experiences, our listeners' top mama's boy concerns, and a hilarious/ridiculous story submission that blew our minds. Before Whitney joins us, we're talking about Rayna's recent hookup, Ashley's face procedure, and the two types of people watching The White Lotus. Enjoy!
