  • Gave me a whole new way to think about

    I recently discovered Don’t Mom Alone and loved Heather’s conversation with Jennifer Barnett. The idea of using the “other half of our brain” to connect with and hear from God gave me so much to think about. I love conversations that don’t just encourage me, but give me a new way to understand something I deeply care about. This one did exactly that. So good!

  • Mean girl episode was unhelpful

    It’s shocking how little help there is out there for helping your daughter deal with mean girls. I had mid hopes for this but it was just like everything out there already. No helpful tips, it was basically directed at girls who were once in the mean girl group and got kicked out and she said in her practice she helps girls figure out how to get back in by reconnecting with one of the “minions”. First of all, the mean girls do so much real damage to really sweet, kind, incredible girls-they des... more

  • My New Favorite Podcast

    This has become a go-to listen while I work. For humor, relatability, advice, perspective - I have enjoyed every guest and every conversation that I’ve listened to. I love that there’s a baseline culture and spiritual standard of the conversations, yet there’s an awareness and openness to all who may think differently. Talking about the subject of parenting with moms is sensitive, but this is done so well. Thank you for this!

  • A weekly must-listen!

    So thankful and blessed a friend introduced me to this show while I was pregnant with my first over 2 years ago. I consistently bring this podcast up to my friends because I find every episode either directly applicable to my life or providing a thought-provoking topic. Thank you for what you do!!

Adult Child Estrangement: What to Do—and How to Hold On to Hope :: Dr. Jim Burns [Ep 587]
Q: What advice would you give to a parent who has been completely shut off for years or decades?
Focus on being consistent in love, avoid pressuring or blaming, and wait for the opportunity to reconnect. Small, thoughtful gestures (like checking in through a mutual connection or a non-confrontational gesture) can gradually rebuild trust. If needed, involve a counselor to provide a safe framework for the conversation and to help navigate emotions over time.
Adult Child Estrangement: What to Do—and How to Hold On to Hope :: Dr. Jim Burns [Ep 587]
Q: A question I have for you is, let's say we do get in a relationship, you mentioned levels of estrangement. What should a parent say when their child shares hurt or anger they disagree with?
Lead with empathy, acknowledge the hurt, and avoid defensiveness. Statements like 'That hurts, I'm sad you feel that way' help keep the door open and set the tone for a safe dialogue. You should show gratitude for honesty, apologize where appropriate, and refrain from trying to prove you're right. The goal is to be the adult in the room, not to win an argument.
Making Friends Who Really Know You :: Mentor Series Wk 4 [Ep 583]
Q: Is it simply easier to stay with familiar friends rather than reaching out to new ones?
Yes, often due to insecurities and comfort with established groups, but the conversation emphasizes pushing through that ease to form new connections and enrich communities.
Making Friends Who Really Know You :: Mentor Series Wk 4 [Ep 583]
Q: What has been hard about friendship for you, Melanie, in your journey?
She discusses insecurity, feeling different when comparing to other moms, and the importance of moving past that to invest in new and existing friendships.
Making Friends Who Really Know You :: Mentor Series Wk 4 [Ep 583]
Q: What would that look like for a mom with a kindergartner, in terms of making new friends?
The guest suggests getting involved in the school or community activities, not assuming old friends will cover everything, and intentionally seeking out opportunities to connect with other moms.
