Good Moms Bad Choices

What happens when you stop being the woman everyone expects you to be? This week on Good Moms Bad Choices, Erica and Milah welcome back Entity (formerly Miala), an artist, mother, and spiritual priestess, for an unfiltered conversation about motherhood, heartbreak, reinvention, sexuality, and unapologetic self-expression. Entity opens up about her transformation from farm life to alternative music, the heartbreak that inspired her new sound, and why people are so uncomfortable when women evolve beyond the version they first met. The ladies discuss raising teenage daughters, talking to kids about sex, teaching girls to protect themselves, and why we're not having enough conversations about raising better boys. They also get into co-parenting, dating after heartbreak, the double standards placed on spiritual women, and why being a mother doesn't mean losing your identity. Plus, Entity reveals how she sued Instagram after her account was deleted and says she walked away with her page AND $10K. And somehow, the conversation takes a wild turn into birth control, removing your own IUD, and unpaid utility bills. From breaking generational patterns to embracing every version of yourself, this episode is a reminder that women don't have to choose between being mothers, sexual beings, spiritual women, and whoever the hell else they want to be.   Want to experience the Good Moms community in real life?

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 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.   Follow Mimi Bouchard: Instagram: @mimibouchard Follow Good Moms Bad Choices: Instagram: @goodmoms_badchoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodmoms_badchoices Join the conversation on Discord and catch up with us over on Patreon for full visual episodes, bonus content, early episode releases, and access to our private Discord community: https://www.patreon.com/GoodMomsBadChoices    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
