Sherrell gets emotional about the age Gabi is now, why the "boy talk" makes a storm cloud roll over her face, and how she uses prayer and therapy so she doesn't put her own story on her daughter.It's funny, it's tender, and yes — there's a pizza story.✅ In this episode:What teens wish adults understood about being a teenager right nowGabi's creative class president campaign (no ChatGPT needed)Confidence, body image & a world that watches young girls too closely"Do you feel like you can tell me everything?"Parenting through your own trauma — with God and therapyWhy the boy conversation scares MomWhat makes a real friend (high-maintenance vs. low-maintenance friendships)"I love y'all… but I hate the responsibility of being a mom"The village: aunties and grandma who show upMoms and daughters — watch this one together.
