Grab your cold coffee and hide in the pantry—A new episode of Moms Brain Is a Coffee Stain is here to scream what every parent’s thinking during senior year!

Join millennial mom Kayla (former teen mom, current chaos coordinator) as she rants about the 47-page college applications that turned her stepdaughter “O” into a senior-year ghost, the spam email apocalypse from one innocent “request info” click, and why trade school might just save your sanity (and your kid’s bank account).

From Ethan’s door-less rebellion to O dubbing Kayla “The Interrogator” for daring to ask “Any thoughts on majors?”—this episode is equal parts laugh-out-loud and ugly-cry-in-Target-parking-lot real.

We’re talking:

• Why 18-year-olds are expected to predict their 401(k) but can’t fold laundry
• Trade school hot takes (underwater pipeline TIG welding, anyone?)
• Listener DMs that’ll make you snort coffee
• Mom-hacks for surviving FAFSA at 2 a.m. in pajamas

No gatekeeping, no judgment—just options, oversized hoodies, and the reminder that they’re still kids figuring out their first adult step.

If you’re batching transcripts, touring tech schools, or secretly Googling “dorm drop-off survival kit”… hit play. ☕
