Football is back, the wine is flowing, the queso is plentiful, and The Mom Game has a lot to discuss this week.

Julie is experiencing one of the great joys of back-to-school season: the kids are sick again. Meanwhile, Emily has decided she may be the person to finally fix the chaos of club volleyball scheduling. Somewhere between British accent pranks and sports schedules, the conversation turns to something a little bigger: Do moms still make time to dream about what they want for themselves?

When so much of life is spent managing kids, work, practices, games, appointments, and everyone else’s needs, it can be surprisingly hard to stop and think about your own goals and what you want your next chapter to look like.

What You’ll Hear

• Julie’s adventures in back-to-school sickness.
• Emily’s plan to fix club volleyball scheduling once and for all.
• Why the girls are pranking their kids with British accents.
• A real conversation about motherhood, personal goals, and making space for your own dreams.
• College football, the start of the NFL season, and the Rangers continuing to middle.
• Kim Kardashian’s new baseball reality show.
• An internet story involving an influencer and a surgery that escalates very quickly.
• The most searched slang words in Texas in 2026 and whether Julie and Emily understand any of them.

A Conversation We Loved

The question at the center of this week’s episode is one a lot of moms can probably relate to: When was the last time you thought about what you want next? Motherhood can mean spending years keeping everyone else’s lives moving. This conversation is a reminder that having your own goals, ideas, and dreams doesn’t stop just because your calendar is full.

Hey There, Mom Gamers!

This week, Julie is dealing with the return of school germs while Emily takes on the chaos of club volleyball. Between football talk and British accent pranks, the girls get into a bigger question: When you spend so much time managing everyone else’s life, when do you make time to think about what YOU want next?

Plus, college football is back, the NFL season is here, the Rangers continue to middle, and What’s On Your Feed takes a turn no one could have predicted.
