Don't Mom Alone Podcast

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!

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 destroy reputations to the point no other girls in class will be friends with them because they’re afraid if the mean girls turning on them, and this is why families sell their homes and move. It’s horrible. Why isn’t anyone talking about the fact that the reason mean girls keep literally destroying lives is bc no school, no coach, no dance teacher will hold them accountable. The mean girls keep getting rewarded over and over by all of the adults in their life’s which gives them more power to keep harming other girls. And your “expert” helps girls try to get back into that group?? This is not the content moms of girls who have been bullied (it’s called relational aggression when it’s girl to girl) need.

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!

Heather is always encouraging, insightful and real. She has great guest and info.

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!!
