Catelynn Baltierra‘s daughterNovalee Reignis experiencing some separation anxiety.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek from Monday’s all-new episode ofTeen Mom OG, Catelynn must break the news to her 3-year-old daughter that she has to leave on a business trip.
“Since I returned home from treatment, Nova has been super attached to me,” she explains. “I was just invited to go on a show about adoption, so I’m worried Nova will freak out when I leave.”
When her husband,Tyler Baltierra, asks Catelynn if she’s figured out how to tell Nova about the trip, the reality star says she’s not sure how to best handle the situation: “I guess I’ll just tell her I’ll be back in a couple of days,” she says.
Tyler admits that he’s nervous about Nova’s reaction.
“I get anxiety,” he says. “She’ll eventually stop [freaking out], I’ll distract her with something. It’s just when she randomly does it — she’ll be like, ‘Where’s Mommy?’ Even when you go to the store, she trips.”

When she finally sits Nova down to talk to her, the toddler begs Catelynn to take her with her.
“Mama is going to leave tomorrow night and in two days, Mama will be home,” she promises.
