Good Moms Bad Choices

This week, the Good Moms sit down with creator and liberated baddie, Via, for a raw, hilarious, and deeply healing convo on pick-me culture, sex work, motherhood, and becoming the main character in your own life.   In this episode, you’ll hear: How Via went from “pick-me” dating advice to empowering women online The connection between trauma, sex work, and calling dissociation “empowerment” Why leaving a mentally abusive relationship unlocked her feminine rage How acupuncture + somatic therapy changed everything! The truth about performative sex, porn, and what she actually wants now Why safe female friendships can feel more protective than a man Reparenting yourself while parenting your child Via in the Trigger hot seat plus a very on-brand “bad choice” at the spa   Via opens up about growing up without much guidance, entering sex work at 20, and how her journey helped her walk away from toxic love, reparent herself, and choose herself for the first time. The ladies get into safety, patriarchy, friendship, pussy power, and why sometimes your whole life changes after one needle and one breakup. Tune in to hear how this week’s tarot card pull (hello, Nine of Pentacles) affirms the entire conversation!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, the Good Moms are asking a very important question: Are you a lesbian for real?   Erica and Milah get into everything from Daphne Joy’s leaked sex tape to bisexual flirting, Milah’s affinity for soft studs, and why women seem to get crucified forever for choices they made years ago. The moms unpack the internet’s obsession with tearing down beautiful women, why society gives men a pass while women become cautionary tales, and whether technology has made public humiliation a form of entertainment. The ladies also talk about how to navigate having conversations with your kids about Pride and all things LGBTQ+, and their own queer escapades.   In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why people seem to love watching beautiful women fall from grace • The double standards facing women like Nia Long, Vivica Fox, and Daphne Joy • Why drugs, bad decisions, or messy relationships never justify exploitation • The risks and realities of filming sex tapes, sending nudes, and navigating intimacy in the digital age • A conversation about "high value" men, baby mama stigma, and why every woman deserves dignity regardless of her relationship status • Milah's latest encounter with a soft stud and why flirting with women can be harder than flirting with men • Why Erica might be gay... until the real lesbians show up • Why the Good Moms proudly identify as toxic bi's • Chavaunist pillow princess jealous bisexuals • Talking to kids about Pride and all things LGBTQ. When do you do it?    Bad Choice of the Week: When a hookup (or lack thereof) with a podcast guest doesn't exactly go according to plan.   Tune in for a hilarious and honest conversation about sexuality, public judgment, internet pile-ons, old Hollywood, modern dating, and why women deserve more grace than the internet is willing to give them. --------------------------------------------- Watch this episode and more on YouTube.   Come vibe with us on Patreon for full visual episodes, bonus content, and early releases.   Join our private Facebook group and drop your anonymous advice questions, secrets, or mom vents. --------------------------------------------- JOIN US ON OUR NEXT GOOD VIBE RETREAT!!   Limited time discount on our Good Vibes Retreat when you use promo code "GOODMOMS" 🇨🇷 Costa Rica – July 14–19: Mommy and Me Retreat Six days to slow down, tap in with your baby, and actually enjoy each other.   🇨🇷 Costa Rica – July 24–29: Reset and Vibe Six days and five nights of releasing, recharging, and remembering who the hell you are with like minded women.   Apply for "The Play" Matrix Juneteenth Play Party , June 19th, 2026 in LA hosted by Milah celebrate a night of freedom with pleasure and play 😈 https://theplay.la/apply/   Connect with us: @GoodMoms_BadChoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia @WatchErica @MILAH_MAPPSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, the Good Moms are calling BS on the internet’s obsession with shaming single moms.   Erica and Milah tap in about Dr. Sarah and all the “high value” think pieces that act like a woman’s worth is measured by how many kids she has and whether somebody’s calling her “wife.” They break down why that mindset is dangerous for Black single moms especially, how it keeps women stuck in trash relationships, and why your value has nothing to do with your relationship status.   In this episode, you’ll hear: Why single moms are not the problem, no matter what the algorithm says The difference between holding your friends accountable and publicly clowning women for clicks How fear of being a “single mom” keeps people in relationships they should’ve left five years ago Real talk on baby daddies, boundaries, and loving yourself more than you love the potential Bad Choice of the Week: macro shrooms in the desert, calling for backup on kid pickup, and making a new plug friend Whorie Time: a sunrise threesome, one condom left, and two very enthusiastic cannabis kings Why “Don’t Be a Dumb Bitch” is less an insult and more a love note and lifestyle   Tune in for a raw, hilarious episode about calling out single‑mom shame, making “bad” choices that still lead to growth, and redefining your worth in love, sex, and motherhood.   --------------------------------------------- Watch this episode and more on YouTube.   Come vibe with us on Patreon for full visual episodes, bonus content, and early releases.   Join our private Facebook group and drop your anonymous advice questions, secrets, or mom vents. --------------------------------------------- JOIN US ON OUR NEXT GOOD VIBE RETREAT!!   Limited time discount on our Good Vibes Retreat when you use promo 🇨🇷 Costa Rica – July 14–19: Mommy and Me Retreat Six days to slow down, tap in with your baby, and actually enjoy each other.   🇨🇷 Costa Rica – July 24–29: Reset and Vibe Six days and five nights of releasing, recharging, and remembering who the hell you are with like minded women.   Connect with us: @GoodMoms_BadChoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia @WatchErica @MILAH_MAPPSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can a toxic ex leave you physically itchy? In this episode of Good Moms talk about energy transfer, "spiritually transmitted demons", and what it takes to reinvent yourself when the old version of you no longer fits. From de-centering men (and why that conversation is misunderstood) to centering yourself in a way that finally feels grounding, the girls unpack how survival identities can overstay their welcome. The girls talk honestly about watching close friends finally leave relationships that no longer serve them, how one big decision can completely change your timeline, and why telling your friends the truth (even when it’s uncomfortable) can be an act of love.Erica shares a vulnerable mushroom realization that made her understand why an old, hyper-guarded version of herself needed to be laid to rest, not erased, not shamed, but honored and released. Growth is messy, honesty matters, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let go of what once kept you safe. -------------------- Watch This episode & more on YouTube!  Connect With Us: @GoodMoms_BadChoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia @WatchErica @Milah_Mapp ------------------------------------------ 🇯🇲 JAMAICA 🇯🇲 (Sold Out) April 17th- April 22nd - Jamaica, Ganja Goddess Retreat Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or simply a sexy fun time, the Ganja Goddess Retreat promises an unforgettable experience of empowerment and sisterhood.
