Show Notes

This week, Good Moms unpack the mix of gratitude and outrage that comes with living in the U.S. right now. The ladies debate male + female friendships, confess childhood traumas that resulted in jealousy triggers, the thin line between pretty privilege and “pretty punishment”, and how new moms can still get that BAG!
