The Women Behind the Mic

Jessica

Heather

She brings depth, vulnerability, grit, and the kind of honesty that makes other women exhale and say, “Finally, someone said it.”
Ambitious, transparent, and unafraid of the hard chapters — Heather is the voice that makes women feel understood.

Dena

Dena is the grounding, intuitive heart of the trio.
She brings compassion, balance, perspective, and a softness that makes truth feel safe.
Her steady energy reminds us that healing isn’t weakness — it’s strength.

Three women. Three stories. One real conversation — every other week.

Host

Jessica Peyton

Jessica is a 40-year-old Fredericksburg mom of three—two out of high school and one still in elementary—who shows up with humor, honesty, and a whole lot of heart. She loves strong tea, anything cheetah print, and keeping life real and relatable.

Blunt and straightforward by nature, Jessica says things directly — but she’s also deeply sensitive and hates conflict. That mix of honesty + vulnerability makes her one of the most relatable voices on the show. She brings laughter, humanity, and a safe kind of realness that lets other women breathe and think, “Okay… it’s not just me.”

Host

Heather Frye

Heather is a 43 year old mom of three—21, 14, and 7—who came from very little and learned early how to rise above hard things. She grew up surrounded by addiction—her sister, her ex-husband, and even her biological father battled it—yet she refused to repeat the cycles she came from.

A young mom who spent years doing it alone, she met her husband Drew when her oldest was five and began writing a new chapter of love, stability, and rebuilding.

Heather is known for her honesty, her calm, non-emotional reactions, and her filter-free truth-telling. She has a gift for saying the things everyone else is thinking — with clarity, courage, and zero drama. A longtime mortgage professional, real estate investor, and entrepreneur, she brings grit, strength, and unfiltered realness to every episode, reminding women that no matter what they come from, they can build something beautiful.

Host

Dena Cooke

Dena is a 47-year-old Fredericksburg native who has lived in the area her whole life. Deeply involved in Aspire Christian Theater, married to her husband Miles, and completely in love with her dog Max, she blends faith, family, and fun—usually with a vodka soda in hand.

The grounding, intuitive heart of the trio, Dena brings softness, balance, and emotional depth to every conversation. She reminds women that healing isn’t weakness and connection is everything.

Who We Are

Rated MOM was created by three women who were tired of the highlight reels and the pressure to pretend everything is perfect. Heather, Dena, and Jessica built a space where real conversations actually matter. We talk about motherhood, marriage, identity, friendship, careers, burnout, and the chaos that shapes every woman’s life. No filters, no judgment — just real women sharing real stories.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make women feel seen, supported, and never alone. Rated MOM exists to say the quiet parts out loud, laugh through the chaos, and shine a light on the unspoken moments that define us. We’re here to build community, create connection, and remind every woman that perfection is not the goal — honesty, healing, and being real is.
