Ep. 81 - Safety & Freedom from Little Bird: A Wearable that Works! With Founder Monica Plath

Author: Local Moms Network June 2, 2026 Duration: 34:02
Moms, imagine knowing exactly where your child is all the time but still allowing them freedom to roam and play without restriction. It’s possible with Little Bird! Little Bird is a wearable that offers on-demand location alerts and so much more.Joining us on MomCast is founder and mom of two Monica Plath.  As she explains, Little Bird is smarter than an AirTag because you know when your child is actually wearing it. And it’s more capable than a GPS tracker because it tells you when your child is near a parent or caretaker (which is called your child’s Flock!). Plus, it tracks steps so you know exactly how much activity your kid is getting. No screen, lots of information, and infinite peace of mind!Monica digs into the possibilities and the technology, plus:* the terrifying parenting moment that drove Monica to create Little Bird* how Little Bird is helping parents of neurodivergent kids catch elopement as soon as it happens* why Little Bird solves the dilemma of tracking your child despite schoolwide bans on phones and smart watches* how Little Bird erases the distraction of a screen and the temptation of games and messages* why parents are using Little Bird to track their aging parentsYou can learn more about Little Bird at LittleBird.care and it’s now also available for purchase on Walmart.comBe sure to use code LMN50 for $50 off your purchase!

Hosted by Demetra Ganias-a writer and mother of three who’s navigating the same daily realities-MomCast is a conversation from the trenches of modern parenting. This podcast, from the Local Moms Network, moves beyond simple tips to explore the nuanced, often unspoken layers of family life, culture, and society that shape our days. Demetra guides honest talks with both leading experts and fellow moms who get it, tackling questions about child development, personal identity, and the balancing act that rarely feels balanced. The dialogue here is less about perfect answers and more about shared understanding, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re in the car line or stealing a quiet moment. It’s a space where the complexities of raising kids intersect with everything else, acknowledging that motherhood is as much about the world we’re preparing our children for as it is about the snack currently ground into the car seat. Tune in for a genuine, sometimes messy, but always connecting look at this defining chapter. You’ll find a sense of community in this podcast, a feeling that someone is putting words to your own experience, making the journey feel a little less solitary and a lot more seen.
