School’s out, the kids are home, and moms everywhere are wondering… how are we going to survive summer?
In this fun and honest BONUS episode, I am joined by fellow mom and podcast host Tanya Valentine to talk all things summer break: the excitement, the overwhelm, the snacks, the screen time, and the pressure to make memories (while just trying to stay sane).
We’re sharing what summer feels like in our homes right now, what we’ve learned the hard way, and how we’re lowering the bar in all the best ways.
Plus, we’re inviting you to join us for something brand new:

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
