A Lark and her Momster
A Lark and her Momster is an informational yet fun podcast that dives into the depths of mother/daughter relationships… the highs and lows, nature vs nurture, hormones, healthy boundaries, and the importance of loving one another through it all… or not?! The podcast is hosted by Larkin Galeas and her “mom-ster” Susan.
Each episode will focus on topics most moms and daughters deal with throughout their relationships. From birth to adulthood the joys and the struggles are real. Episodes are live, unedited, and will occasionally include guest moms and/or daughters who’ll share their stories. Plus we'll feature a different wine (under $20/bottle) to make the episodes even more fun!

Ep. 26 Mom'ing the Men of Tomorrow
Today’s episode is packed with love, laughs, and a whole lot of wisdom. We’re sipping on Our Daily Cab, a thoughtful gift from our dear friend Steve. With dark fruit notes of plum and blackberry, plus a touch of toasted vanilla, it’s preservative-free, gluten-free, and vegan—a wine as pure as the friendships that gift it. ❤️🍇
Speaking of friends, we’re thrilled to welcome Amanda, our tiny house host and fearless single mom to two boys (including a 16-year-old navigating adolescence). Amanda shares her journey of raising sons, the lessons she’s learned, and how she’s thriving in a world that doesn’t always make it easy.
We dive into:
💡 What it’s like raising boys, especially if you grew up surrounded by girls.
📚 Expert advice for supporting boys’ growth, from encouraging positive male role models to setting healthy boundaries.
⚽ Why sports, freedom, and embracing failure can help boys become resilient, well-rounded individuals.
🌟 Celebrating the unique personalities of her boys and how they’ve shaped her as a mom.
Whether you’re a single parent, raising boys, or just looking for heartwarming insights and a few good laughs, this episode is for you. Parenting is never one-size-fits-all, but Amanda’s story reminds us of the beauty in embracing our kids for who they truly are.
Cheers to good friends, great wine, and raising kind, resilient humans. 🥂
