Christmas morning can feel especially painful when you're missing your baby.
There’s one less pair of Christmas pajamas to buy, one less pair of eyes lighting up at the sight of gifts beneath the tree. The silence can be deafening. We see you, Hope Mom. We understand the ache of empty arms and a heavy heart.
In this special Christmas Day episode, we’ve joined together with 16 friends to bring you encouragement from one Hope Mom to another.

We're here with you, Hope Mom, and we're praying over you and your family this holiday season.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
