Former Director to Activate

Heidi Garrett, a young mother of four children, loves all creative endeavors but is particularly fond of cooking without recipes and making her husband eat all of the leftovers if she doesn’t like the results! She also experiments with a wide array of art mediums just so she can use her Hobby Lobby coupon. She has started countless sewing projects that are impossible (at least for her) to finish.  She frequently finds herself lost in the paradox of wanting to go out into the world and make an impact, versus trying to spend as much time as possible with her children to make that impact. Her struggle with postpartum depression when she was a new mother to twin boys gave her a desire to help new moms make the transition into motherhood with more support and tools to find joy and success in what they were doing instead of just feeling trapped, exhausted, and overwhelmed. She is inspired and motivated by all that Momivate can do to help mothers find that joy and success, as well as what it will do to elevate the position and esteem of mothers in their own eyes and in our society. 

Former Director to Cultivate

I like to explore and experience the world around me. I adore traveling and so far have got to live in Russia (as a church missionary) and do a study abroad in England. I hope to get the opportunity to explore more countries.

My husband and I with our six children have lived in Florida, near the beach with warm weather year-round. Currently, we live in Alaska, exploring the last frontier and life in a cold climate. Motherhood is its own kind of adventure. I appreciate all the women who have influenced and helped me in my mothering journey and I am thankful for this opportunity to be able to help other mothers in their mothering journey.

My kids range in age from 7 to 18 with the oldest soon leaving home for his own new adventure of life. I graduated from BYU with an English degree. Most of my adult years have been spent as a full time mom. Recently I became certified as a life coach and really enjoy helping people with the process of harnessing their thoughts and being proactive in creating an intentional life.

Former Director of Relationship Dynamics

LaReina Hingson has lived in over nine different states all across the country, where she has met a wide variety of women interested and involved in motherhood. Her interest in motherhood started from a young age where she studied pregnancy and fetal development and expanded to areas of reproductive rights and the experiences of women before and after giving birth. She has a doctorate degree in interpersonal communication from Purdue University in Indiana.

Former Director of Schedules & Systems

Growing up in a large family (fourteen kids), Cindy thought motherhood would be a piece of cake. Surprise! Having kids is a lot of work and they don’t come with an instruction manual!  She is so very grateful for the many moms that have taught and helped her over the years. Although there is a lot of work involved, she has found strength in other moms. The success she found through raising her own three children is the inspiration for her blog RESILIENT MOTHERHOOD. She earned a degree in elementary education, has worked and served on the local community councils, and just started a professional home organizing business, HELP ME ORGANIZE. It is her passion to help other moms be successful raising their families. 

Marlyn is a single homesteading, homeschooling momma. She says: “I want to create a sustainable life for my 2 daughters.” She was “mominated” for the Wall of Honor by her friend, Regan, who admires Marlyn’s purposeful pursuit of her goals in spite of obstacles, and her deliberate motherhood that is focused on her daughters’ success. Marlyn declined including a photo of herself so Regan chose this symbolic photo of a Mother Hen feeding her chick.
