What it Means to be a Mom in 2026

• Ideal Mother’s Day guests to speak to the beauty and complexity of motherhood through adoption, faith, and family-centered storytelling.
• Former Hollywood insiders turned entrepreneurs, they now speak nationally about reclaiming culture, protecting families, and creating media that reflects faith, freedom, and traditional values.

With Mother’s Day approaching, I’d like to offer you a conversation that goes deeper than flowers and brunch—and speaks directly to the heart of what it means to be a mom in 2026.

Curtis and Cara Leopardo are former Hollywood insiders and parents of four who now champion moms through their work in family‑focused media and their own home life. They speak frankly about the unseen side of motherhood: adoption, foster care, blended families, spiritual motherhood, and the emotional load so many moms silently carry.

This Mother’s Day conversation would center on:

• Adoption & foster care as a calling – What it really looks like when a mom says “yes” to children who have already known loss, and how that transforms a family.
• The invisible weight mothers carry – From juggling work and home to carrying kids’ trauma, behavior struggles, and fears, and why so many moms feel like they’re “never enough.”
• Faith and motherhood – How prayer, community, and conviction sustain moms who are in the trenches of raising biological, adopted, or foster children.
• Protecting kids in a confusing culture – How moms can guard their children’s hearts and minds without living in fear or checking out of culture altogether.
• Honoring all kinds of mothers – Birth moms, adoptive moms, stepmoms, grandmothers raising grandkids, and spiritual mothers in churches and communities.

Who they are (briefly):

• Cara Leopardo – A former Hollywood casting and production professional who has worked on thousands of projects and now uses her platform to honor and protect families, especially mothers who are doing the hard, quiet work no one sees.
• Curtis Leopardo – A producer and entrepreneur who speaks openly about supporting his wife’s calling, fatherhood, and what it means for men to champion moms in their homes and communities.

For Mother’s Day, they can give your audience:

• A heartfelt, hope‑filled conversation about motherhood that includes adoption and foster care, not just picture‑perfect moments.
• Real stories, encouragement, and practical ideas for moms who are tired, worried about the culture, and wondering if they’re making a difference.
• A much‑needed tribute to the moms who chose children that weren’t “theirs” on paper but became theirs in every way that matters.

I’d be glad to coordinate Curtis and/or Cara for a live or pre‑taped Mother’s Day segment and can send a one‑sheet with bios and tailored sample questions if helpful.
