Coffee With My Mom

I know, I know, we missed an episode number. Episode 8 was lost forever. We recorded an episode about reusable pads and menstrual cups (tentative title – Menstrual Rage.) It was a good episode, but we had some audio settings wrong and the resulting files were unusable. If the topic is of interest to you, […]

In this episode, aside from learning that Cadence has started taking high school Spanish, we talk about dating and communication mishaps of all kinds. We talk about Cadence’s tendency to run headfirst into walls, all of her least favorite spices, ocean swimming and the calculus of teen rage.

This episode, after a long hiatus, we tackle the awkward subject of internet porn. We talk about Wonder Woman, 1337speak, and the shocking truth about teenage girls and their relationship with… porn. List of links forthcoming…

We talk about birth control, abortion, mothers and daughters talking about sex, and […]

In this episode, we talk about our experiences with homeschooling, Cadence hulking out over a can of shaving cream, and spider privacy. We’d like to thank Scott Holmes, for allowing us to use his song, Brit Pop. He has a lot of really great songs on the Free Music Archive

In this first episode of Coffee With My Mom, Cadence and Mary discuss High School. We talk about regrets, college, friendships and dating, sexism in the 90’s, and slut shaming. We’d like to thank Scott Holmes, for allowing us to use his song, Brit Pop. He has a lot of really great songs on the […]
