Actress Raven Goodwin joins Erica and Milah for an honest, hilarious, and vulnerable conversation about growing up in Hollywood, becoming a mother, postpartum identity, money, body confidence, and learning how to find yourself again after kids. Raven opens up about moving to Los Angeles at 12 to pursue acting, the pressure of becoming a working child actor, and how those experiences now shape how she protects her own children. She also gets real about motherhood after two emergency C-sections, having two kids in four years and the emotional reality of trying to reconnect with herself postpartum. Raven shares the moment she crashed after her daughter's first birthday and found herself asking a question so many mothers know too well: Who am I now? The ladies also get into their evolving relationships with money, growing up without financial literacy, building wealth as Black women, marriage, raising confident Black children, breaking generational parenting cycles, and why Raven refuses to let Hollywood decide how she should feel about her body. Plus, Raven talks about being a plus-size Black woman in entertainment, why she believes she can change a casting director's mind when she walks into a room, the affirmations she gives her children every morning, and why moms need to learn to love on themselves the same way they love on their kids. And of course, it wouldn't be Good Moms Bad Choices without tequila, sex positions, motherhood confessions, and a little tarot.

What if being a single mother wasn’t something women had to defend—but something worth celebrating? This week, Erica and Milah sit down with writer, cultural critic, and author Jamilah Lemieux for an honest, hilarious, and unapologetic conversation about Black single motherhood, dating, co-parenting, raising daughters, friendship, sex, and letting go of the shame attached to being a “baby mama.” Jamilah opens up about her own journey as a single mother and how writing about Black single moms completely transformed the way she sees single motherhood. What started as a desire to defend single mothers turned into something much bigger: giving them their flowers. The ladies get into what actually makes someone a “single mom,” why having an active co-parent doesn’t erase the realities of running your own household, and why struggling should never be treated as a requirement for single motherhood. They also talk about the stigma attached to the words “baby mama,” why women are still judged by their relationship status, dating and sex as a mother, raising daughters without shame, and the freedom that comes when you stop performing motherhood for other people. Plus, Jamilah shares why she spent years thinking she needed a man when what she really needed was girlfriends, why your mother-led household is already a family, and why the single mother revolution may just be getting started. And because this is Good Moms Bad Choices, things get a little unhinged along the way—from sex work and stripper conversations with your kids to dating, dick size, motherhood, and everything women are usually told not to say out loud.

What if becoming the woman you want to be isn’t about waiting for your life to change, but learning how to be her now? This week, Erica and Milah sit down with Mimi Bouchard, founder of Activations and author of Activate Your Future Self, for a conversation about manifestation, self-image, motherhood, pregnancy, relationships, money, and becoming the version of yourself you actually want to be. Try Activations: activations.com/goodmoms Two-week free trial + special Good Moms offer Mimi opens up about the low point that pushed her into personal development, how she transformed her relationship with herself, and why visualization alone isn’t enough. She breaks down her two-step approach to transformation: getting clear on your future self and then finding ways to embody her in your everyday life. The ladies also get real about pregnancy and identity, preparing for motherhood, birth expectations, giving yourself grace when life doesn’t go according to plan, and the pressure women put on themselves to constantly have it together. Plus, Mimi shares why we need more “aliveness” and less numbing, how social media and constant consumption disconnect us from ourselves, why romanticizing the chapter you’re in matters, and how she and her husband grew into the relationship they have today. And, of course, we close with an affirmation and Tarot Time, and the cards have a very fitting message about money, abundance, and new beginnings.

Dating red flags, relationship scammers, social media personas, and trusting your intuition. Erica and Milah are breaking down how to spot the signs before you get got. This week, the Good Moms get into Erica’s return to dating, the lessons she’s already learning as a newly single mom, and whether men and women can really have platonic friendships. Then it’s time for the “news of the Instagrams,” including the fake NFL player accused of scamming women, Yada Awakening, performative relationships, internet experts, and the danger of believing everything someone sells you online. Plus, Erica and Milah react to Raven-Simoné and get into interracial relationships, cultural understanding, and what it means to be with someone who may never fully understand your lived experience. The lesson this week? Stop being a slave to the image, trust your gut, strengthen your “real nigga radar,” and sometimes… get off the internet and touch some grass.

Plus, Kristel shares what it was like becoming the “Disneyland mom,” the guilt mothers carry when they need a break, and why sometimes putting your own mask on first is necessary.

Erica and Milah talk about single motherhood, dating, raising daughters, and parenting in the age of social media. As their girls get older, the Good Moms are officially entering their “stern mom era” and questioning how much parents should push their kids to succeed while still giving them space to become themselves. They get into kids and technology, education, social media, and beauty standards for young girls after seeing a second grader wearing a lace front. How young is too young for wigs, nails, and grown-up beauty trends? And what are moms unintentionally teaching their daughters through the way they talk about their own bodies? Then Erica is officially back outside. She joins Raya, accepts the Slutty Summer Challenge, talks about navigating dating as a single mom, and reveals why her daughter has decided her mother should remain a “Single Pringle.” In this episode: Single motherhood, dating, and getting back outside Erica joins Raya Raising confident, independent daughters Kids, social media, technology, and education Second graders, lace fronts, and beauty standards Body image and what mothers model for their daughters Dating someone your friend has already dated The Slutty Summer Challenge Bad Choices of the Week Tarot Time See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Welcome back! Erica and Milah are officially entering a new era of motherhood: raising daughters through middle school, puberty, changing bodies, and conversations about sex and consent. As their girls grow up, the Good Moms unpack what it means to parent differently than they were parented. They talk about body autonomy, boundaries, pleasure, sexual shame, safety, and how to have honest, age-appropriate conversations with your kids even when you don't have all the answers yourself. In this episode, you can expect to hear: • Milah’s emotional first middle-school drop-off • Navigating puberty while co-parenting • Why you might need to be your kid’s first “gentle bully” • Teaching kids about consent, boundaries, and unsafe behavior • Why “stranger danger” doesn't tell kids the whole story • Raising girls without shame around their bodies and sexuality • Talking about crushes, pleasure, and self-exploration • Breaking generational patterns around sex and womanhood • Why boy moms need to be having these conversations too • Back-to-school baby daddy drama, middle-school memories, and gray pubes Because the “sex talk” isn't really one talk, and waiting until your kids are ready to have it might mean waiting too long.
