In this episode, Christine and Saphira share their honest, funny, and sometimes bittersweet experiences as boy moms. From the chaos of teenage boy messes to trying (and sometimes failing) to connect with their sons’ friend groups, they open up about the moments that make them proud, the ones that make them cringe, and the ones that teach them the most about themselves.

They reflect on the gendered expectations of motherhood, the challenge of letting go during the “detachment” phase, and the surprise joys of being a “late-game parent.” Plus, Christine confesses her teenage-boy-social-anxiety and Saphira reveals the surprising lesson her son taught her about her own femininity.

It’s a warm, reflective conversation for anyone raising boys, raised by one, or just trying to parent without a playbook. And of course, you’ll thank us later.
