Isn’t it Lovely? celebrates the conclusion of season 7 with advocate, activist, and beloved YouTube personality Heidi Calmus joining Tracy and Rachel for a special supersized episode! Long before getting recognized for her roles in skits and sketches about parenthood and marriage on the popular Dude Dad vlog, Heidi’s compassion and empathy led her on a path to serve and support vulnerable youth and survivors of human trafficking and abuse through leadership positions with YMCA After School Programs, the Los Angeles Dream Center and Covenant House California. Heidi details how when online fame hit via Dude Dad’s success, she could no longer provide confidential direct services, so she pivoted in ways to still work alongside the movement while staying at home with her children. Heidi and Tracy discuss the seasons of yielding in marriage and the importance of honoring each other’s callings as well as how that can seemingly impact our feelings on identity; while Heidi and Rachel talk about the creation of healthy boundaries to protect the sacred parts of a public life. Heidi brings everyone to tears with her grace-filled and authentic wisdom about parenting young children; the group agrees that the car remains the best place to break down in tears (second only to the shower).Episode Mentions:Heidi Calmus’ Instagram: @heidicalmusHeidi Calmus’ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heidi-Calmus/100084691694169/Dude Dad’s Instagram: @dudedadDude Dad’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DudeDadVlog/Dude Dad’s YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnQjDnWKwV81mXEiuiA9VqgDude Dad’s Website: https://www.dudedad.com/Super Dad TV showhttps://magnolia.com/watch/show/c3dc8b62-f029-5237-904d-283cf1529f6a/super-dad/YMCA Y-Club Middle School After School Programshttps://siouxfallsymca.org/y-club/middle-school-after-school-programs/Stewart Schoolhttps://www.stewartschool.com/Los Angeles Dream Centerhttps://www.dreamcenter.org/Covenant House Californiahttps://covenanthousecalifornia.org/University of Sioux Fallshttps://www.usiouxfalls.edu/Street LugeHeidi’s SAHM Instagram Posthttps://www.instagram.com/p/Cap13lMpxVi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThe Wellness Mama Podcasthttps://wellnessmama.com/podcast/Medical Mediumhttps://www.medicalmedium.com/Pelvic Floor TherapyRebound Sports and Physical Therapyhttps://www.reboundsportspt.com/beyond-therapy/strong-mama/What Are You Loving:Heidi: HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Go Mathttps://higherdose.com/products/higherdose-infrared-pemf-on-the-go-matTracy: Parenting: Getting It Right by Andy and Sandra Stanleyhttps://amzn.to/3YNPaipRachel: Call to Freedom https://calltofreedom.org/Curiosity Studio https://curiositystudioclass.com/
