What listeners say

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!

Devan Michelle · Jul 2026

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!

Devona S. · Mar 2026

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!!

Cheyenne4jc · Oct 2025

Heather, thank you thank, thank you for being such a wonderful voice of encouragement, truth, education, and hope. I was so grateful to hear your latest episode on Sex Ed Reclaimed and passed it on to my girlfriends to listen. Such an important and difficult topic to discuss with our kids, yet so very necessary to bring to light these issues from a Christian lens. Thank you for bringing such amazing speakers and resources to moms like me!

I am shocked that you would have a “Meta Policy Director” to explain how instagram is “safe” for teens. I don’t doubt that they have “safeguards,” but their whole business model is to keep “customers” on Instagram as much as possible. This includes using an algorithm tailored to the user to keep the user addicted. Instagram is ok for adults but NOT teens. It is addictive, pulls teens away from real life relationships, and causes comparison, especially among teen girls, leading to obsession with their looks and low self esteem. Please look in to having a podcast guest from the organization Screenstrong. Melanie Hempe is the director of this organization and is an excellent advocate for what kids and teens really need in our tech world. Screenstrong specifically addresses the biggest issues with teens / kids and tech today — video games, social media, and pornography. Meta is a billion dollar industry, cleared biased towards profit. Organizations like Screenstrong are non- profit, grassroots organizations with no financial incentive. The resources and message of Screenstrong represents years of unbiased, evidence based research designed to truly help our teens and families with all issues related to screens, specifically video games, social media, and pornography. Heather, please help us spread this Screenstrong message.
