Muther Puckers Episode 65 - Whitney Fleming, Writer

Parents- this is for you!  We talk how not to be the crazy parent and what to do with yourself after your kids stop playing youth sports.  Hint: "Get a Life" is the main theme!  

Whitney loves sharing stories that help other people feel less alone, so she made a career out of it. After spending time in politics and public relations, she started freelance writing and her own personal blog, Playdates on Fridays, in 2015. 

She is known for her vulnerable, relatable, and humorous posts about raising her three teenage daughters who are close in age. She also brings an authentic and realistic voice to topics such as marriage, mid-life, and mental health. You may have seen her work on Today Parents, Good Morning America, Huffington Post, Yahoo!, Her View From Home, Scary Mommy, Pop Sugar, and her own personal social media pages where she has nearly 250k+ followers. 

In addition to freelance writing, she has created content for a wide-variety of online publishers, businesses, and non-profits, grown social media pages to more than 1M+ followers, and co-manages the successful blog Parenting Teens and Tweens.

She recently launched a gratitude journal for teen girls and their moms, and her work is published in five anthologies (with another coming out in 2022).

She is a serial volunteer for her kids’ schools and athletic teams, loves fancy coffee with little hearts made from cinnamon and foam, and never turns down long dinners with good friends. She binge-watches too many Netflix series with my teenagers and crime dramas with her husband, and rarely misses a walk with her extremely disobedient dog, Jax.
