Escaping Abusive Relationships, Nepo Babies & Writer's Block | Mommy Issues Podcast

This week on Mommy Issues, we help a listener struggling to talk to her dad about an abusive relationship. But first, we cover Lucas's upcoming tour and how he's handling his writer's block. Next, we get into nepo babies and the difference between Stella Lefty and Rebecca Black. Wendy gives us the scoop on Canadian tariffs, Lucas tells us about a corporate gig and ending up at a White Reggae concert. Lucas and Wendy return to their listener's situation with some honest mother-and-son advice.
