In this episode of I’m Your Mother Now, we’re unpacking manifestation — what it really means, why it gets labeled as “woo-woo,” and how it might already be shaping your life whether you realize it or not.

We talk about:
– Manifesting vs. mindset (and why your thoughts matter more than you think)
– Letting go of the “life is happening to me” mentality
– Journaling as a tool to actually create change
– Intuition, timing, and those “random Tuesday” life pivots
– Becoming the version of yourself you’re trying to attract

Plus, a little bonus: snooping ethics, childhood trauma, escort economics (??), and why we cannot stay on topic to save our lives.

If you’ve ever wondered whether manifestation is real — or just needed someone to explain it in a way that actually makes sense — this one’s for you.

New episodes every week.

In Season 2, Episode 6, Amanda and Sarah start with technical difficulties, questionable hair, and a surprisingly peaceful visit from Patricia before getting into one of their most relatable topics yet: why crying during movies, commercials, and basically anything emotionally manipulative can feel so shameful — even when that is literally the point. What starts as a conversation about crying on the couch turns into something deeper about how emotional expression gets shaped in childhood, what it means to be told don’t be like your mother, and how much of adulthood is really just unpacking what you absorbed without realizing it.

From there, the episode takes a hard left into one of Sarah’s most unhinged and iconic teenage stories yet: driving herself to Newport at 16, wearing a cubic zirconia engagement ring, pretending she was about to get married, and fully committing to the bit alone at boutique hotels and mansion tours. The sisters also revisit Sarah’s ring transformation in real time as she officially resets her old wedding ring into something entirely new — softer, more intentional, and fully her own. It’s funny, reflective, slightly feral, and somehow ends on a reminder that millennials and zennials may need to stay sane long enough to help rebuild whatever comes next.

Season 2, Episode 5 finds Amanda and Sarah in the middle of one of those weeks—fake spring weather, low energy, and the feeling that everyone wants a piece of you when you have absolutely none left to give. Between being sick, toddler chaos, dog poop disasters, and a ceiling that now technically has a skylight, the sisters reflect on how quickly life can tip from manageable to ridiculous.

In the middle of the chaos, Sarah shares a major personal reset: with her ex-husband remarrying and old chapters officially closing, she’s transforming her engagement ring into something new—literally flipping it into a piece that represents who she is now. What follows is a conversation about timing, not reacting to every feeling immediately, and the strange clarity that can come when you finally slow down.

Naturally, the episode also detours into Love Is Blind, ancient Rome, why history keeps repeating itself, and the simple fact that sometimes the only response to the universe is: “wow… wow.”

It's Season 2 Episode Who the Fck Knows.

This week we’re reporting live from eclipse season (which has to do with the actual moon), Mercury retrograde, and what can only be described as a full emotional system reboot.

Sarah shares a major professional boundary she had to set as a therapist — realizing that just because you can hold space for someone doesn’t mean you have to. We talk about the cost of constantly being “resilient,” why women are conditioned to endure situations that go against the grain of who they are, and what it actually looks like to start choosing yourself.

We also get into:

• the weird identity shift of being single for the first time in your adult life

• why so many women spent their 20s fixing dusty men instead of living

• the very real loneliness epidemic among men (and how they might want to… look inward about that)

• a truly diabolical dating-app discovery

• the return of Baby-G watches, pogs, and early-2000s nostalgia

And finally: how to add a little whimsy to your life when the world feels like it’s spinning off axis.

Because sometimes healing looks like therapy, sometimes it looks like blocking a man, and sometimes it looks like painting a room during a manic spring-cleaning episode. We're going to go with Sherwin Williams Black Fox.

TW: brief mention of grooming

This week, what starts as snowstorm banter and therapist hypotheticals quickly turns into a sharp, unfiltered conversation about consent, conditioning, and the collective exhaustion of explaining basic humanity to grown men. Amanda asks for Sarah’s take on people who only show up to therapy because of an ultimatum—and Sarah keeps it real: therapy doesn’t work if you don’t actually want to work.

From there, we unpack chemistry vs. entitlement, why asking “Can I kiss you?” is not a vibe-killer, and the deeper pattern of women being trained to regulate, anticipate, and emotionally manage the men around them. We also talk about growing up, reclaiming language around grooming, and what happens when you finally see the system clearly.

✨ Bonus content: Leonardo DiCaprio’s bank account, unexpected Family Feud revelations, and a sudden plan to get ourselves cast on a game show.

THE SPUD SISTERS ARE AT IT AGAIN. 🥔

It’s Season 2, Episode 2 and the vibes are… a little off, kittens. We start with some “topical news” that immediately turns into a conversation about situational awareness, energy farming, and why the internet is basically designed to harvest your nervous system for sport.

From there, we get into:

• Patricia (luteal phase) as a truth-teller — not a villain

• Boundaries (outer boundaries!!), burnout, and why some people don’t deserve your access

• Why you should try smiling from the back of your throat

• And a much-needed dose of joy: Sarah’s defense of a Wuthering Heights adaptation that the internet is foaming at the mouth over (because of course it is)

If you’re tired, overstimulated, and trying to stay soft without getting eaten alive… you’re in the right place.

We’re back, baby! Season 2 kicks off with a bang—and some big news: turns out, your favorite podcast sisters are… half Puerto Rican?! (We didn’t know either. Stay tuned.)

In this episode, Sarah and Amanda unpack feminine rage, the everyday absurdities of parenting, and the deep grief of realizing you were never given the tools to understand your cultural roots. From Super Bowl representation to daycare disasters and bubbling bathroom sinks, we talk about what it means to stay grounded when nothing in the world feels okay—and why making dinner might be the most radical act of resistance some days.

We also dive into:

💥 The origin of Friday the 13th (spoiler: it’s the patriarchy)

🌱 Why regulated nervous systems are the new family tradition

🇵🇷 The immigrant experience, assimilation, and being white… but not really

🛠️ The weight of invisible labor and why women carry the culture

Learning Moment:
Did you know Friday the 13th was once a sacred day celebrating the divine feminine? Long before patriarchy made it “unlucky,” the number 13 was associated with the 13 lunar cycles and menstrual cycles in a year—symbolizing feminine power, intuition, and creation. The demonization of the 13th was part of a broader effort to suppress goddess worship and matriarchal traditions.

So… maybe the bad luck is just the patriarchy getting nervous.

Amanda and I decided not to launch Season 2 this morning because we were both feeling very ungrounded and didn’t want to begin the season in that energy.

IYMN podcast isn’t a a political space nor an activism space; it was created for us to connect on our shared experiences growing up, to explore what it means to re-parent ourselves, and to foster community who are doing the same.

Right now, it feels important to be thoughtful and intentional in our actions. Why are we doing this? What’s the intention? Why do we need it? Who is it helping?

So while we intend to create content in this space that has room for levity, healing, connection, and re-parenting, we need to be very clear on one thing:

👋It is no longer an available luxury to separate your life from the politics of this country. 👋

If you support the current administration and the cornucopia of atrocities it has committed in the name of this country, our podcast is not for you.
We are both daughters of immigrants, we are women, we are mothers, we are HUMANS, and we are angry, dismayed, and heartbroken at the horrors unfolding at a pace so rapid we can’t even keep track.

And so while we must keep our sanity, we must take care of our families, our careers, our friends, we also must not be quiet about who we are and what we stand for, no matter what.

WE ARE THE CHANGE WE WISH TO SEE.
Be loud.

We are all our mothers now. We will take care of each other.

And stay tuned for szn 2 launch; it’s coming ✨✨
