    Prada Diapers, Prison Calls, and Other Bad Decisions

    Apparently Prada has decided what the world really needs is an $875 diaper cover for grown women, and naturally we have thoughts. This week on Sidetracked, we’re talking questionable fashion choices, a Hyrox athlete with a level of commitment neither of us possesses, and all the sayings we still use that make absolutely no sense to our kids. “As the crow flies.” “Tape the show.” The Yellow Pages. Honestly, we’re one step away from explaining what a busy signal was. And then there’s Cynthia’s newest ministry opportunity: accidentally accepting a jail call—and agreeing to pay for all future calls. So if you ever get arrested, proceed carefully when choosing your one phone call. We also get into the unexpected beauty of an all-boys school, badly buttoned shirts no one cares about, and husbands who proudly announce they “did their own laundry” while ignoring everyone else’s.

    Fighter Jets, Fart Corners, and Failed Friendship Lessons

    What do you get when Cynthia is dressed in a tiny police hat and Heather nearly takes down a fighter jet factory after eating McDonald’s? Apparently, an episode of Sidetracked. This week we’re talking about the very humbling reality of raising kids after publicly speaking about how to be a good friend, the viral mom-group controversy that has us firmly Team Oreo, and why elementary classrooms may need a designated fart corner. We also get unexpectedly sentimental when talking about Dolly Parton, what someone’s life reveals by the people who show up for them, and why the way we love people really matters. Plus, Cynthia is suddenly very invested in wreath sashes, Heather has a back-to-school hack that might actually change your life, and we have thoughts on grandparent names, things we’re not sure we’re allowed to like anymore, and several emojis we apparently have no business using.

    College Drop-Offs, Aging Parents & Fifty Shades of Grain

    Heather and Cynthia are back, and life has been coming at them FAST. Between college drop-offs, home chaos, parenting grown kids and a few situations that could only happen to their families, they have plenty to unpack—including a college bedroom decorating situation best described as Fifty Shades of Grain. Cynthia also shares about a scary and emotional few weeks with her mom’s unexpected cancer diagnosis, and how their family has seen God show up in some really tender ways. But because this is Sidetracked, even the hospital somehow produces stories that absolutely should not be funny... and yet here we are. Somehow they also find time to discuss questionable footwear, attempts at healthier habits and several things nobody asked them to have opinions about. It’s one of those episodes that goes from laughing to crying and right back to laughing again—which feels about right for this season of life.

    Biopsies, Bobsleds, & Dead Batteries

    Heather and Cynthia are back after a little summer break, and apparently they packed an entire season's worth of stories into a few weeks. This episode includes Olympic bobsleds, fly-fishing anxiety, wisdom teeth, skydiving, law school move-ins, and the realization that moms never actually stop. You'll also hear what may be the most unnecessarily complicated peanut butter and jelly run in history, thanks to one very accomplished husband who somehow turned a dead truck battery into an adventure involving AutoZone, Uber, and a grocery cart.  Throw in a public service announcement about noise-canceling headphones at the gym and a PSA about whether dogs can actually be neurodivergent . . . and you've got one very sidetracked conversation.

    Muzzles, Termination Notices & Trick Questions

    Summer = lots of family time and a need for a lil work break. Cynthia and Heather are taking two weeks "off" from recording sidetracked. We'll be back with new episodes on August 7th. Today's episode originally aired in October of 2025. We get gloriously sidetracked by life’s adventures—like forgetting to pay the water bill, paying stadium prices for bottled water, and mourning the very first ding on a brand-new car. We also chat about when a low-cost vet clinic is worth it and why asking your husband if you need Botox is… not the question you want answered. It’s funny, relatable, and a little bit practical—come get sidetracked with us!

    The OG Cherry Bomb Exhaust Story and Banned TV Shows

    This week, Cynthia and Heather are taking a lil breather and republishing an episode from our first summer together back in 2023.  That summer we recorded a 6-part mentoring series for the Don’t Mom Alone podcast. Each episode we attempted to answer a listener question with a bit of wisdom while also sharing the real life challenges of parenting.  In this convo we talk about what shows we weren’t allowed to watch. Cynthia shares the origin story of the cherry bomb exhaust. And we make our best attempt to help a mom who wonders: What do you do when your kids are a little sassier than necessary?  How do you respond? Can we shape their responses? When does it really matter?  Come time travel with us! Become a Supertracker: sign up here  Connect with Us:  Website:  Sidetracked Instagram:  CynthiaHeather (@thesidetrackedshow) YouTube: sidetracked with cynthia & heather Ask Me Anything - Sidetracked Heather MacFadyen (@dontmomalone) Cynthia Wilkinson Yanof (@cynthiayanof) Links Mentioned:   Amazon Storefront–all our faves in one place!

    Magnolia Dreams and Possum Fights

    This week, Cynthia and Heather cover everything from Grandma Camp and grown-up field trips to possums, baptisms, and unexpected social media greatness. Oh, and Joanna Gaines reposted Cynthia’s story. We are not okay.  They discuss the behind-the-scenes chaos of organizing Cynthia’s first-ever Grown-Up Field Trip to Magnolia in Waco, Texas, including giant passenger vans, and some fabulous travel bags for the participants. Heather recounts a backyard showdown involving a possum and her dog, while the two discuss why women need more excuses to gather, laugh, and have fun together. They also celebrate a big milestone for JB, swap stories about aging parents, wedding showers, and family adventures, and debate whether Prime Days are actually going to bankrupt them. If your summer feels a little chaotic, take a break and come laugh with us.

    Turf Toe, Texas A&M, and Total Chaos with Ellen Skrmetti

    What do hot rollers, menopause, a shattered office window, Texas A&M orientation, and four highly questionable dogs have in common? This week’s episode. Cynthia and Heather sit down with comedian and author Ellen Skrmetti for a conversation that somehow covers Southern beauty (not so) secrets, Botox, parenting in midlife, and why life is often completely—and hilariously—cattywampus (which also happens to be the title of Ellen’s new book). Then they catch up on summer adventures, a football game that ended in turf toe, Heather’s growing obsession with Aggie maroon, and the little moments moms never want to forget. Come laugh with us.
