- Save Our Kids!
I’ve watched Vivian spend two decades fighting for girls on the other side of the world who had no one in their corner. Now she’s turned that same warrior energy toward the kids right here — the ones being slowly dismantled by algorithms designed to keep them hooked. This podcast doesn’t sugarcoat it. Vivian brings in the real experts, asks the hard questions, and gives parents actual tools. If you care about the children in your life, this isn’t optional listening. Subscribe and share it.

I had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed by Vivian Glick on the Bad Mom Podcast and I loved every minute of it.
Vivian is warm, authentic, funny, and incredibly insightful. She has such a gift for creating conversations that are real, meaningful, and deeply relatable for moms. What I especially love about the podcast is that it gives women permission to be human — to laugh, to question, to grow, and to stop pretending they have to do motherhood perfectly.
Our conversation flowed so nat... more
