Why Moms Need Social Connection with Lauren Hall
On this episode of The New Mexico Momcast, we sit down with Lauren Hall to talk about the much-anticipated Glimmer & Glow: Moms Night Out—a special evening designed to help moms connect and unwind. But beyond the fun, we dive into a critical issue: the epidemic of loneliness that the U.S. Surgeon General has declared a national crisis.
Motherhood can be isolating, and in a world where digital connections often replace real-life interactions, finding genuine community is more important than ever. We explore why socializing isn’t just a luxury but a necessity for mental and emotional well-being, and how events like Glimmer & Glow can help moms build the friendships and support systems they truly need.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the power of connection, the importance of making time for yourself, and why every mom deserves a night to shine.

Connect with ABQ Mom In Person
It’s no secret that this motherhood journey is unique, and having people to turn to, talk to, and share experiences with can make all the difference in the world. If you’re new to the area, new to being a mom, or just want a way to connect with others close to where you live, join one of ABQ Mom’s groups.
The ABQ Mom Club is an online (private) Facebook group that allows moms to connect, ask questions (mommy or non-mommy related), discuss local happenings, and attend events like playdates and meet-ups.
We also have a very active book club and a fitness group.
For moms not on Facebook, there’s an email list to keep them up-to-date on all the event dates and locations.
