Politics + family = šŸ”„ ...and not the good kind.

In this episode of Good Mom, Lindsay and Sunny tackle one of the trickiest topics for any household: how to navigate political differences without losing your mind—or your relationships. Whether it’s intense dinner table debates, unsolicited ā€œeducationalā€ books from grandparents 😬, or just trying to keep the peace around the kids, this conversation is all about keeping love front and center... even when you completely disagree.

šŸ’¬ Lindsay shares:

ā€œI don’t do hate. I do listening, I do local action, and I focus on creating the kind of world I actually want to live in. And if people think I’m ā€˜crazy’ for that? So be it.ā€

šŸ’¬ Sunny adds:

ā€œWe can teach our kids the structure of our government—without the spin. They don’t need propaganda. They need tools to think for themselves and follow their hearts.ā€

✨ In this episode:

  • 🧠 Why neither mom picks a political ā€œsideā€ (and why that freaks people out)

  • 🫣 The time Sunny's mom secretly ordered political books for her girls

  • 😤 The moment Lindsay’s family thought she must be "1000% for the president"

  • šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø How to avoid turning family into a battlefield

  • šŸ™ The power of the Ho'oponopono prayer: ā€œI love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.ā€

  • 🧭 Teaching kids to use their values as their compass—not someone else’s agenda

Whether you lean left, right, or totally off the grid šŸŒ, this episode is about staying grounded, loving big, and knowing when to speak—and when to just hug it out.

šŸŽ§ Tune in for honest reflections, a few laughs, and some soul-level parenting wisdom.
