What does it look like to heal your relationship with your mom while raising a daughter of your own?

In this episode, Good Moms reflect on healing alongside their mothers, the challenges of letting go of old patterns, and the unexpected lessons that surface when you start to see your mom as “just a girl” too. They talk about caretaking, validation, breaking cycles of criticism, and the emotional labor of holding space for the women who once held it for you.

• The reset moms don't talk about and not being ashamed about starting over
• Amina talk about moving her kids after eviction and starting over
• Breaking the silence around financial stress and survival mode
• Clearing the air on the Peter Gunz Dallas drama
• Why she has no regrets about Love & Hip Hop
