    EP 30: Saying Yes with Paige Lohoefer

    Lilly sits down with her friend Paige Chenault, founder of the Birthday Party Project, for a conversation that goes well beyond the nonprofit. Paige traces her path from preacher's kid to events powerhouse to building one of Dallas's most beloved organizations, and talks openly about what it cost her along the way and how COVID became the unlikely catalyst for getting honest about what she actually wanted. She also talks about finding a partner who finally got her, and what she hopes her daughter takes away from watching it all unfold. This episode shows the healing power of hospitality.

    EP 29: Grievances

    Lilly has had a week and she needs to talk about it. Two grievances make it to the table: one about kids, boundaries, and what it means to be a guest in someone's home, and one about a dad at a party who said something that sent her. Things expand from there into food talk around children, men's fashion, and whether decorum is a lost cause. Upton and Big Mama weigh in.

    EP 28: Talk to a Therapist: Clique or Cult?

    Lilly, Big Mama, and therapist Sarah Reidy, LCSW, get into something a lot of women recognize but rarely talk about out loud: the friend group that slowly stops feeling like a friend group. They cover the high school clique years, what that kind of conditional belonging does to you long term, how it shows up again in mom groups and adult friendships, and what to actually watch for with your own kids heading into middle school. Honest, a little uncomfortable, and very much worth the listen.

    EP 27: Your Summer Vacation Survival Guide

    EP 26: What Your Divorce Attorney Wishes You Knew

    Lilly sits down with the two women who helped her get to the other side of a contentious custody battle: her friend and criminal defense attorney Stara, who first sounded the alarm when things got financial, and family law attorney Natalie Webb, who took her case and saw it through. Together they unpack what it actually looks like when a co-parenting agreement falls apart, why being the reasonable one in court is a strategy and not just good manners, what an amicus attorney does and why it mattered in this case, and what vindication in family court really looks like (hint: it is not what you imagine). A raw, honest look at the legal side of co-parenting gone wrong, from the people who lived it.

    EP 25: Ask Lilly Anything

    Lilly sits down for a full Ask Me Anything with Big Mama and Upton, and they actually come with questions. The crew covers how and why Lilly chose adoption as a first-time parent, what her relationship with Heidi's birth mom looks like now, and the real story behind the move to Germany. From there it gets lighter: Lilly's perfect Dallas day, her comfort TV rotation, a rapid fire hot seat round, and somewhere in there, an arrest gets confirmed. She wraps with a surprisingly earnest look at her winding path through church and faith.

    EP 24: Busted Doin' It

    Lilly is back and she's sharing something she'd normally let settle first. After 75 days of solo parenting, a spring break trip with Steve and Heidi, and one very thin hotel room door, her sixth grader hit her with four words that divided her life into a before and an after.The crew unpacks what you say to a 12-year-old in that moment, what it looks like to model a healthy relationship without sacrificing your kid's childhood, and why privacy is a lot easier to plan for in theory. Next week, the floor is open. Lilly's taking your questions!
