Description

Join us, Jenny and Felicia, the co-founders of The Parent Empowerment Movement, as we get real about motherhood—the struggles, the joy, and doing it our own way. We’ll laugh, cry, scream into pillows, and find hope again. With 30+ years of experience working with kids and families, we’re here to remind you that you’re already the perfect mom for your child! No judgment, just support. Let’s ditch expectations and embrace the messy, beautiful reality of parenting—together.
