SPECIAL EDITION: Kristen Howerton Is Helping Us Rage Against Expectations for Moms Everywhere

This special edition episode is powered by Dove Real Beauty Productions. To celebrate its 60th Anniversary at the Mom 2.0 Summit, we are creating conversations with inspiring women around the evolution of self-discovery and the definition of real beauty. Kristen Howerton is the mom behind the popular parenting blog, "Rage Against the Minivan," where she writes openly about her experiences as a mother of four kids via birth and adoption. She's an eloquent writer, successfully tackling hard topics like the challenges of raising two adopted black boys in predominantly white spaces — even in her own home. In this episode, Jess and Kristen talk about dealing with online trolls, raising daughters who know their beauty and their worth, and the myth of the perfect mom.
