This week on Certified Oversharer, we're celebrating Mother's Day the only way we know how… by bringing the moms on and letting them spill EVERYTHING. Samantha is joined by her mom and Kyle's mom for a hilarious, unfiltered conversation full of parenting confessions, childhood chaos, and stories we probably shouldn't be hearing (but are so glad we did). From a "Who's More Likely" game to wild throwback stories about Kyle and Samantha growing up, nothing is off-limits. We get into what motherhood really looked like behind the scenes—from raising kids in racing, to taking a backseat as a mom, to the moments that shaped their families forever. There are stories about sneaking out, backyard parties, burnouts, and even a stolen car situation (yes, seriously). Plus, Samantha hears a few stories about Kyle she's never heard before... We also dive into what motherhood truly means, how parenting changes you, and the different ways they balanced raising kids with big age gaps. And of course, we wrap it all up with a chaotic lightning round where the moms describe Kyle, Samantha, marriage, and more in just ONE word. This episode is equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and completely unfiltered—just how we like it. 📞 Got tea to spill or chaos to confess?

This week on Certified Oversharer, Samantha is joined by Gianna Blaney for a raw and emotional conversation about motherhood, mental health, and everything in between. Gianna opens up about her unexpected and incredibly difficult pregnancy, from being sick to navigating serious health complications while her husband, Ryan Blaney, was racing on the track in the NASCAR Cup Series. She shares the intense moments leading up to her emergency C-section, the fear of not knowing if her baby would survive, and the reality of postpartum hitting when no one was around. The two also dive into postpartum anxiety, mom guilt, and the mental health struggles that so many women face but don't always talk about. Gianna reflects on her past experiences with bullying, how it shaped her, and how she's now found healing through animal therapy and life on her farm—including her now very full house of animals. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and a reminder that you're not alone in any season of life. 📞 Got tea to spill or chaos to confess?
