Meet Brenda: single Millennial mom who wants to do better “adulting” like the seemingly perfect Jake’s Mom at her daughter’s school.
Brenda is finally ready for love and creativity in her life when her younger #influencer sister Katrina shows up at her house, eight months pregnant, totally unprepared for motherhood.
Will the three women shed the Greek chorus of social media filters on their lives to achieve their dreams?
"Joyfulness, hilarity, and truthfulness."
