It's weird to write about things I've done... Hello impostor syndrome my old friend!
But really, I do love being on other people's shows, so if you want to have me on, feel free to use the Podcast Booking Form or Contact pages to reach out!
I have spoken at colleges and conferences giving keynote speeches and presentations as well as being on panels. I have also been a guest on other podcasts, live shows and in videos. I am always willing to share my story and experiences with others.
Review the About Momma page for more on my life and what I'm all about. OR peep some of the appearances below and support my fellow mental health content creators by giving them a watch/listen/like/subscribe!!
I'm a pretty open book, so ask me to talk about anything you can find about me, but if you need some general ideas, here are some things I've talked about as a guest on other people's podcasts, shows and at conferences:
my own mental health journey - including post-partum depression, domestic abuse, chronic depression (MDD), anxiety and CPTSD
parenting - including my experience with my kids' journeys related to gender identity, anxiety and tourette syndrome
the impact of my grandfather's disappearance* on our family and how it changed my life; TW including suicide awareness + family trauma + interactions with law enforcement - *please note that I will not talk about specifics of his case or details around his disappearance, this is an open case still
divorce - including divorcing during COVID, the difficulties of separating from a gaslighter, being a single mom and finding my own peace
emotional abuse & trauma
mental health advocacy
gaming & mental health
my podcasting/streaming journey
feel free to ask me to talk about something else - these are just ideas that I've done before, not an all-encompassing list of what I WILL talk about!!
Speaker Bio:
MommaFoxFire (she/her) is a podcast host, advocate and storyteller (with a day job and two kids who always come first) who uses humor, compassion and authenticity to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health. She is the creator and host of Even Tacos Fall Apart, which is a podcast dedicated to real, unfiltered conversations about mental illness, trauma, chronic pain and resilience. Through her show, she has interviewed therapists, advocates and individuals with lived experience to highlight the ways people find hope and healing in the face of adversity. MommaFoxFire's work is grounded in lived experience. After the disappearance of her grandfather and years spent in an abusive relationship, she turned to gaming and online communities as a means of self-care, emotional processing and survival. Through these experiences, she developed a deep understanding of how gaming and fandom can serve as tools for connection, empowerment and recovery. As a single mother of two neurodivergent children, MommaFoxFire brings empathy and practical insight into discussions about caregiving, identity and mental health advocacy. She is also a content creator with a background in digital communication and community engagement, using online spaces to foster belonging and hope for those who feel isolated or unseen.
MommaFoxFire's goal, both in her podcast and her speaking work, is to help others recognize that falling apart doesn’t mean failure… it’s often the first step toward rebuilding with strength and intention. Plus… Even tacos fall apart… and we still love them!!
