The Mental Mom ShowThe Mental Mom ShowEp. 80 Missing White Woman SyndromeMeg spent hours and hours this week deep diving into the Gabby Petito case to figure out why society is so obsessed.

She explains to Casey that she’s having a pre-birthday mid-life crisis. Or, it might be that Meg’s doctor is tapering her down from Zoloft to begin a new medication for anxiety/depression...Casey thinks it’s probably that.  Besides freaking out because she turns 40 in 82 hours from recording this episode; middle school motherhood is getting really hard (not just the math, but the block scheduling and learning an instrument.) Meg’s proud of herself because she’s still able to come up with a High Five Moment desp...2021-09-301h 00The Mental Mom ShowThe Mental Mom ShowEp.78 EmojipediaMeg schools Casey about his incorrect emoji usage (she’s a bit cocky about her knowledge since she’s been on a quest to be a “cool Mom” as she approaches 40 in a few weeks.) Apparently the Gen Z-ers are making fun of us again, this time not for side-parts, but for using the crying laughing emoji (among many others) WRONG. Meg gives Casey a quiz from Buzzfeed to assess his age, determined by which emojis he’s using the most.  Also, Meg faces a tough parenting decision - the 11 year old asked if she could watch the Tiger K...2021-09-201h 09The Mental Mom ShowThe Mental Mom ShowEp. 70 NYE Special Edition - We’re all ESSENTIALMeg and Casey release a special edition to celebrate the END of 2020.

Meg DID have the famous “bowl” haircut in the 90s and she confesses - she was going for a short, princess Diana look - but it turned out much more “Heavens-Gate-Androgynous.” Meg and Casey discuss why people join cults and even more interesting - why do they stay?

Turns out there’s quite a bit of commonality. Meg shares the necessity of feeling the difficult feelings of sadness, anger, disappointment and grief.
