Your Fierce Mom Friend: Recent Episodes
Oascha Monae Hightower
As a mom do you wish you could just find the strength to be the fierce mom you know you are? Or maybe, you wish you had a mom friend that wasn’t going to judge your parenting choices when you ask for help, a friend who gave realistic and reasonable advice without making you feel like you’re not good enough
I am Oascha Hightower, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Ph.D student, parent educator, Certified Yoga instructor, founder of Namaste ABA, LLC and now your fierce mom friend. I am raising a fierce and amazing son so I also wish I had the friend I want to be to you.
Each episode will be something new and exciting. I will bring guest to the show to talk about the struggles of motherhood, parenting and friendship. I will also talk in detail about what I know and love which is parent education, behavior analysis and yoga and sometimes I may even invite another industry expert for casual dialogue.
I hope you join me each Wednesday for a new episode.
Join Oascha on another episode of Your Fierce Friend Podcast. This episode is one from the heart as Oascha talks about her absence over the last two weeks with her show, feeling off and lacking motivation. Have you ever started something and wanted to, or have given up because you feel like what you were doing just was not good enough? Maybe you have started an idea but never executed because it felt too big, or you thought no one would like what you had to say, or what you were going to do. Oascha navigates through these same thoughts she's been battling the last few weeks and how she overcame and kept going.
Tune in, take notes and be ready to hear an impactful short story with a powerful message.

Take a pen and paper out for this 45 minute episode on "The Science Of: Building Better Habits" with Habit Coach Sabrina Joy, because you are not going to want to miss anything!
Sabrina was coined as the motivating, organized friend from an early age and after several fulfilling careers she couldn't shake that feeling of inspiring and motivating others so she turned it into her full time business! Tending Habits was brought to life by Sabrina where she motivates, inspires and helps others achieve their goals through "building better habits." On this episode, Sabrina talks about what a habit coach does, the benefits of having someone like her on your team and even drops golden nuggets of wisdom!

This intro video will dive into who I am, what I am doing here and what you can expect to get from my podcast. I want to use my voice, my stories and my knowledge to empower other women to move towards their light. After trauma, relationships, careers and family differences it can be hard to know which way to go! How do you navigate hardship AND still enjoy all the little moments? I definitely don't have a secret sauce, but I do have my experiences, trials and tribulations to help shed some light!
One thing I have become a pro at is expressing my emotions and being okay with "not being ok." Too many times has the world tried to silence my emotions and made me feel as if I was weak or less than for sharing how I feel and expressing that I wasn't ok. This episode dives into the importance of expressing you're not ok, how to say this in a way that feels comfortable and come across clear in your feelings, identifying what you need and then living through this space.
