Dreaming Out Loud in 2026 featuring Corey J. Bradford

In the first episode of the year, The Mama’s Den reflects on the post-holiday pause and the intention we’re bringing into a new season. We’re also joined by Corey J. Bradford, star of Hercules aboard the Disney Destiny Cruise, whose story deeply moved us. Corey shares what it means to follow his passion, the powerful support of his mother, and embracing being both soft and strong as a Black man. His journey sparks an honest conversation about how we support our children’s dreams — even when they aren’t experts yet — and how growth often comes from trying anyway. Inspired, the hosts each commit to a bold personal dream for 2026. This episode is about resetting, dreaming out loud, and stepping into the new year with intention. We love getting Listener Letters!
