A parenting podcast for everyday superheroes in need of a pick me up.
Parenting requires a heroic effort every day: Wake everyone. Feed everyone. Get out the door on time. Do your work. Make a living. Keep a home. Stop the siblings from attacking each other. Walk the dog. Care for yourself. Make sure they're doing their homework. Teach them emotional skills. Do the laundry. Get the teen to put the phone down. Tend to your adult relationships. Read the middle one a story. Get them to sleep on time. Do the dishes. Try to sleep yourself – if the baby lets you. Start over.
Some days we do it all feeling like Wonder Woman / Superman, leaping over meltdowns in a single bound, and some days we feel like lowly mortals who can't catch a break or even get a moment to pee!
We at MFA are your superhero headquarters for this heroic mission. We help you rise to the demands of this extraordinary job, and we are your emotional safety net for when you fall. Most of all, we're here to speak with profound honesty about the honestly profound work of parenting, because we believe our stories deserve to be told. Welcome, we're glad you're here.

Be passionate about your kids' passions!
We spend a lot of energy helping our kids learn how to do things they DON'T want to do. Did you know it's JUST AS important to make sure they have things they DO want to do?
What are YOUR kid's passions and hobbies? Where did they pick it up, and how do you support it? Tell us in the comments on YouTube.

Do you like my singing, Mommy?
Sometimes our kids want to know if we like their singing / drawing / painting / dancing / coding. Here's how to answer honestly and positively – when you DO like it, and even when you DON'T!

The real CONSENT TALK you need to be having with your kids. From birth.
Yes, you need to have "that sex talk" with your teen. But there's another, deeper kind of consent which comes much earlier. Here's what that is and why it matters.

Customer Reviews
Amazing!!!
Such an amazing and refreshing approach to parenting. Before finding Abigail, I felt isolated and shamed as a parent because my kids were not doing everything I said when I said it, etc. Abigail has helped me find my voice and my values as a parent (and as a person!). She had helped me see that I love and like my children. She has taught me to worry less and love more. She has taught me what it means to be a benevolent leader within my own family. Can’t thank you enough!
Love it!!!
When I first found Abigail (on the hand in hand podcast) I was having a really difficult time trying (and failing) to be a gentle parent. Abigail’s wisdom, real-ness, and deep understanding of the inner working of our sensitive and strong willed children has changed my life! I so appreciate the work you do for us parents Abigail ❤️
A wonderful resource for parents!
Abigail Ward and this podcast are a wonderful resource for parents! She gives parents the tools to bring balance to your family.
