Heather B. Armstrong was one of the original "mommy bloggers," drawing an audience of millions with her honest accounting of motherhood back in the early days of blogging. These days she has built a small media empire, but it's still a struggle to keep all the balls in the air, especially as a full-time working single mom. That's where here mom comes in. Heather describes her as "the village" that makes her life work. In this 2-part episode we get into all of that, plus how Heather navigated leaving the Mormon church when the rest of the family was still very involved in it, and how she learned the hard way to be careful about what she writes online.
