Here's the Thing is a podcast for teens that talks honestly and openly about the things their friends don't know and their Mom hasn't told them.
Show host Kim Lukens is frequently joined by fellow Mom and Business owner Melissa Farnsworth.
They remember exactly what it was like to be in their shoes and want to help them feel seen and heard in a world with great expectations but not a lot of emotional guidance.
Kim's straightforward and fact-finding approach combined with Melissa's wicked humor and love of all things enneagram makes for an excellent combination as they chat candidly, answer questions and provide resources.
