Episode 2: Becoming a Mom

Lori and Heather talk with Julie Sanders about dads, good dads in hard times. They discuss the impact a dad can have on the family and the surprising ways moms can team up with dads and also uplift them in their role during challenging days. 

Many moms feel concerned if their child will be OK. Let's face it, moms have reason to be concerned. Our culture has never operated like this before. The quarantine, shelter in place, and safer at home are new to all of us. Disappointment and perhaps despair could be feelings your child is experiencing. Moms Together mentor and licensed therapist, Michelle Nietert, talks with Lori Wildenberg and Heather Riggleman about emotional and mental red flags and what to do about them. 

Dr. Eve Rosno talks with Lori Wildenberg about the 5 best ways to ease your child's anxiety during this Covid19 Quarantine time. 

A little hyperactivity and the occasional meltdown are normal in children, of course; that’s part of childhood as kids navigate how to experience and express their emotions. But if you’re concerned that your kid is having too many ups and downs or anxiety-ridden moments, diet could be the culprit. Today's guest Michala Petersen, a pharmacist, health advocate and mom to four gives us tips to curb the problem!

Heather Riggleman discusses her personal experience with cutting and suicide. Ways to prevent self-harm, warning signs of self-harm and what do do about self-harm are discussed. 

Our kids bring out big emotions in us. So what do we do with that big bad mad? Co-hosts Lori Wildenberg and Heather Riggleman discuss the mom anger and provide some tips on how to curb that big bad mad so we can get to the solution side of the problem. For more information on anger click here. 

Our culture sends mixed messages. It beckons women to be powerful and respected. We are angered at #metoo interactions, we collectively cry out about the sex slave trafficking and we are made aware of its magnification during Superbowl weekend. Simultaneously society admires performers who entertain in a provocative manner. Lori Wildenberg and Heather Riggleman along with Moms Together Team Member, Linda Tang, discuss how we can equip our kids to successfully navigate their world.
