Hey Ma! We’re hitting rewind and spotlighting our "MA Top 12" — the standout episodes from our first three seasons of Moms Actually. From October 12 to December 28, don’t miss the moments that defined us. Join us as a we take a trip down memory lane as we prepare for Season 4. 

---

Have you ever questioned the fine balance between marriage, parenting, and career? It's a dance many of us attempt, often with varying degrees of success. Join us in a candid conversation with Gospel Legend, Erica Campbell. Erica, raised in an environment where her parents fought tirelessly for their marriage, shares her insights on the societal pressures that often make it easier to abandon a relationship rather than work on it.

We talk about:

  • Parenting with purpose, a task that sometimes pushes our relationships with our partners into a purely transactional realm. 
  • Why setting boundaries for our children is essential. 
  • The importance of both male and female figures in a household, imparting diverse parenting styles and teaching children to handle conflicts. 
  • Dedicating time for your partnership, strengthening the marital bond in the process.
  • The importance of a strong support system.
