This week, I’m joined by Tiffani Thiessen for a conversation about mom intuition, raising teenagers, and a question I’ve been wanting to ask: are all moms actually witches?
With her new show, Coven Academy, as our starting point, we get into the things moms notice before anyone says a word. That change in your kid’s voice. The “I’m fine” that doesn’t sound fine. The feeling that something’s going on before you know what it is.
But trusting your instincts gets more complicated when your kids have opinions—and instincts—of their own. We talk about knowing when to step in, when to listen, and when your own worry might be filling in the blanks.
Tiffani grew up on television, and now she’s raising a daughter around the age she was playing Kelly Kapowski. We get into what she wants her kids to feel comfortable saying no to, how we talk about our bodies around them, and making room for yourself as they become more independent.
And, of course, we bring a few decisions to the group chat: is a bad feeling enough to cancel a sleepover? Does mom intuition justify reading your teenager’s messages? Loving your kids is the easy part. Figuring out where to draw the line is a little more complicated.
If you’ve ever known something was up with your kid and couldn’t quite explain how, this one’s for you. Because sometimes “Mom just knows” is real—and sometimes we need to let our kids tell us.
