Episode Synopsis

Do unfollows on social media really mean drama in the cheer world? Or is it just self-care in disguise? When a cheer gym unfollows a family online, is it a petty move… or a healthy boundary? In this candid, laugh-filled episode, Jason Larkins sits down with Kristen Wheeler (aka “K-Dub” of the Cheer Mom Blog and Podcast) to dive deep into the emotional maze of social media, gym loyalty, and assumptions in the competitive cheer world. Whether you're a coach, a parent, or a cheerleader yourself, these are questions you've likely faced—or will soon.
Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

Why gym owners might really unfollow families on social media—and why it’s not always shade.
How parents can balance personal boundaries with community connection in youth sports.
The power of assuming positive intent—and how this one mindset shift can de-escalate almost any cheer drama.
