​

Advice from Mom is equal parts mental-health-advice-column and motherly love. The podcast features listener letters, the advice and life stories of Dr. Momma B (AKA Elizabeth Skibinski-Bortman, PhD – a small-town family therapist “on a mission to mother a mentally healthy world.”) and guests like Esther Perel, Dolores Huerta, Michaela Watkins, Ruth Pointer, and Emily Chang. Host (and daughter of Dr. Momma B) Rebecca Garza-Bortman brings a critical and comical angle to the show, keeping her mom on her toes with attentive follow-up questions and, occasionally, improvised musical aphorisms.

​AFM was featured on iTunes New and Noteworthy, on NPR’s The Big Listen, and got this great review from The Constant Listener who said "The high-wire act of creating a show that is as insightful as it is entertaining is no small feat, but this mother-daughter pair pull it off with seeming ease. Add to all of that the production is just tip-top... It is an experience quite unlike any other."
