Good Moms Bad Choices

Who Raised These Kids? Oh… Us 😭   This week, Erica and Milah talk about identity and alter egos, parenting in the age of TikTok, and the reality check that comes when your kids start acting… a little too grown.   They get into the group chat drama that unfolds when kids get caught doing something they shouldn’t, and the tough (but necessary) conversations that follow. From questioning the idea of “bad influences” to learning how to guide kids without losing trust, this episode feels especially real for parents navigating this digital era.   You can expect to hear conversations about: Letting go of control as your kids become their own people How social media is shaping behavior earlier than expected Being honest with your kids about the internet and its consequences Health spirals, colonics, and questioning everything we eat A surprisingly passionate whore tip you probably weren’t ready for A listener story that proves revisiting exes is… usually not the move LIMITED TIME DISCOUNT FOR OUR GOOD VIBES RETREAT WHEN YOU USE PROMO CODE "RESTORATION " ------------------------- Watch This episode & more on YouTube!  Catch up with us over at Patreon and get all our Full visual episodes, bonus content & early episode releases.

Happy Hump Day! This week on Good Moms Bad Choices, Erica and Milah are joined by radio personality, DJ, mama of three, and certified Scorpio, Abby De La Rosa. Before the world knew her as part of a headline, Abby was grinding in radio for nearly a decade street teams, voice work, overnight shifts, Starbucks side hustles, and building her name from the ground up. She opens up about carving out her identity in an industry that told her she didn’t “have the face for radio,” choosing her voice anyway.

Can a toxic ex leave you physically itchy? In this episode of Good Moms talk about energy transfer, "spiritually transmitted demons", and what it takes to reinvent yourself when the old version of you no longer fits. From de-centering men (and why that conversation is misunderstood) to centering yourself in a way that finally feels grounding, the girls unpack how survival identities can overstay their welcome. The girls talk honestly about watching close friends finally leave relationships that no longer serve them, how one big decision can completely change your timeline, and why telling your friends the truth (even when it’s uncomfortable) can be an act of love.Erica shares a vulnerable mushroom realization that made her understand why an old, hyper-guarded version of herself needed to be laid to rest, not erased, not shamed, but honored and released. Growth is messy, honesty matters, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let go of what once kept you safe. -------------------- Watch This episode & more on YouTube!  Connect With Us: @GoodMoms_BadChoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia @WatchErica @Milah_Mapp ------------------------------------------ 🇯🇲 JAMAICA 🇯🇲 (Sold Out) April 17th- April 22nd - Jamaica, Ganja Goddess Retreat Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or simply a sexy fun time, the Ganja Goddess Retreat promises an unforgettable experience of empowerment and sisterhood.

This week, Good Moms are resurfacing an episode we know you probably need right now. As the holidays creep in with family drama, emotional burnout, pressure to “be on,” and zero time for yourself, we wanted to bring back a conversation that helps you slow down and remember your power before the season sweeps you up. We’re revisiting our episode with the magical Lizzy Jeff because it’s grounding, soothing, and low-key a whole self-care ritual in audio form. If you’re already feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or like you need a little feminine reset…this is the one. You’ll hear: What “toxic goddess culture” looks like in real life (and why you don’t have to be perfect to be in your goddess bag) How to reconnect with your feminine energy on the days you don’t feel divine at all Simple rituals, herbs, roses, and sensory practices that help you get back into your body How to deal with emotional sensitivity without spiraling Why your perception of yourself matters more now than ever How to actually use your “goddess toolbox” when life gets chaotic We brought this episode back because it genuinely brings you back to you, your softness, your intuition, your pleasure, your peace. And with everything this season demands, you deserve a reminder that you’re allowed to slow down and honor yourself too. ------------------------ Watch This episode & more on YouTube!  Submit your advice questions, anonymous secrets or vent about motherhood anonymously!

This week, Good Moms resurface an important conversation with international best-selling author and wellness thought leader, Mel Robbins.

Mel leaves us with some science based tips/tools to soothe the nervous system, and gain our power back. You can expect to hear: How replacing “I’m sorry” with “thank you” shifts responsibility and restores confidence Anxiety in the body: how it starts, how it travels, and what actually helps calm it The story behind Mel’s “High 5 Habit” and the science that makes it work Why taking up space feels uncomfortable for so many women The moment Mel gathered us about “disrespecting our business” and leveling up systems Childhood patterns, internal voices, and how they follow us into adulthood What it looks like to build something out of passion before realizing it’s a real business How saying no can be a power move in negotiations and life Navigating self-doubt, self-rejection, and why affirmations sometimes fall flat The connection between trauma, survival mode, and daily overwhelm Tools like high-fiving your heart to soothe the nervous system Why celebrating yourself, even for the small things, matters more than you think Parenting, identity, and watching our children grapple with the same insecurities we once had ------------------------ Watch This episode & more on YouTube!  Submit your advice questions, anonymous secrets or vent about motherhood anonymously!

The Black Effect Presents... Good Moms Bad Choices! Motherhood doesn’t mean losing your identity, your sensuality, or your freedom. This week, Erica and Milah confront the outdated “perfect mom” stereotype and challenge the idea that motherhood means: dressing conservatively, hiding your sex life, or being ashamed of smoking weed.

You can expect to hear: The biggest lies society tells about “wild moms” Why it’s perfectly fine to smoke weed How to survive your hoe phase after motherhood The importance of showing kids how to properly clean themselves, even if you need to include props and Nutella Why Banana Republic and kitten heels might be a crime against moms everywhere The line between freedom and “put some damn clothes on, mom!” ------------------------ Watch This episode & more on YouTube!  Submit your advice questions, anonymous secrets or vent about motherhood anonymously!
