After nearly a year away, Your Mom™ is back with a special reunion episode with Ashley and Lisa.

Why the break? Well, life happened. Ashley started a new job and realized she was spending more time talking about being a mom on a podcast than actually being a mom IRL. Now that her kids are 8 and 6, she figures she’s done what she can do in terms of mothering (kidding...mostly).

The catch-up is real: Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo got married (Lisa’s wedding dance moves were so elite they made The Today Show), Luke McCaffrey played in the NFC championship his rookie season with the Commanders, and the McCaffrey clan is gearing up for another wedding next month for Lisa’s oldest son, Max.

But maybe the biggest news of all? Lisa is officially entering her Grandma Era.

Yep, you may have heard that Christian and Olivia are expecting their first child. Lisa shares the hilarious and heartwarming story of how she found out. Plus, we dive into what advice she’s giving Christian as he steps into dad mode, potential baby names, and whether Lisa might accidentally spill the beans on the baby’s gender (tune in to see how she handles that question).

And just when you think it can’t get any better, Lisa’s mom, Betty (aka Big Mama), makes a surprise guest appearance with some timeless wisdom on what it’s really like to become a grandma.

To all the moms out there, we are wishing you a very Happy Mother’s Day. We also know this day means something different for everyone. So whether you’re celebrating, missing someone, or holding hope for a dream not yet realized, we’re with you and sending love to all of you on this journey.

You can watch this episode on YouTube.

As always, thanks for being here: Got thoughts, questions, or grandma name suggestions for Lisa? Drop us a line at yourmom@yourmom.co.

Full disclosure: this Your Story episode with Elizabeth Kendig is our longest of the season, and we could have easily chatted for another hour and a half.

It makes sense that we cover a lot of ground because Elizabeth is majorly multifaceted. She identifies as a hippie disguised in J. Crew, dedicated to “taking the weird out of the woo.” Her investment in spirituality and healing is deeply personal: even while ticking all the so-called boxes of success and carving out a flourishing career as a content creator, beauty blogger, and skincare founder, Elizabeth struggled with depression and a stubborn auto-immune disease. This started her on a “self-help bender” that led to the launch of Healers Podcast and connected her with Spiritual Advisor Monica Lawson, with whom she co-authored Chase You, “a field guide to connecting with the Other Side to find more purpose and peace.”

Whether you’re a spirituality skeptic like Betsy or a faith-filled Catholic like Ashley, this eye-opening conversation with Elizabeth has something uniquely for you.

For example, what do popcorn, peaches, and butterflies have in common? Other than being great names for hamsters, they’re also signs that now carry special significance to Ashley, Betsy, and Elizabeth. And after recording this episode, they’ve all started receiving each other’s signs…cue the goose bumps.

Elizabeth and Ashley met via a tree of extended sister-in-laws, so they affectionately refer to themselves as “Sister-in-Loves”. We’re confident you’ll finish this conversation feeling like an extended member of the family too.

Speaking of conversations with friends, Elizabeth recently launched a creative venture with her good friend and fellow editor Kate Rogers: Les Femmes Quotidienne (Français pour “Women of the Day”) is a substack with advice and recommendations on everything from establishing boundaries to whipping up the perfect potato salad. Think of it as tips and tricks from your chicest bff.

As always, you can watch this episode and find bonus content on our YouTube channel.

This episode is the season finale of Your Story. While we aren't exactly sure what next season will bring, we know we'll be back in some form because these conversations and this community fills our cup in a way nothing else does. Thanks as always for listening. We couldn’t (and wouldn’t want to) do this without you.

We “soft-wrapped” Season 2 of YourMom the best way we know how: in robes, answering your burning questions.

As usual, you guys really brought it: topics include Christian’s NFL Madden 25 cover (which Lisa definitely did not bet on in Vegas), what Ashley will most miss from her Pac-12 travels, punctuation etiquette; and of course, all things *wedding*, from Lisa’s dress drama to her planned Dirty Dancing choreography with Greg Van Roten. Plus, Lisa finally embraced her inner-influencer and revealed the secret to her glowy skin: Jones Road Miracle Balm; turns out, Ashley is also a devoted fan. Once again we’re open to sponsorships, collabs, free samples, etc…

Thanks, as always, for listening and laughing with us this season. It’s not goodbye, it’s just see you at Your Mom's post-wedding debrief.

And keep an eye out for the final Your Story episode of the season with the incomparable Elizabeth Kending, dropping soon!
