American Idol Contestant Acknowledges Mom Walk Collective

American Idol broadcasted the Spring 2025 season finale Sunday night.  The three finalists were presented to their home town audience, with parades and a concert.  The summary of their journey from audition to making it to the finale was presented in the filmography.   Brianna Nix, of Denton, Texas, during her audition introduced herself as "just a stay-at-home mom" to which Carrie Underwood, this year's newest judge, corrected her by saying you are not "just a....".

During Brianna's segment about returning home to Denton, a group of women from the local "Mom Walk Collective" warmly greeted their fellow mom-walker and let her know she was an inspiration.

"The Mom Walk Collective" originated in Southern California by Jamie O'Neal and according to her website: 

"Jamie founded TMWC on accident, when she was just 3 months postpartum, and had quickly realized how lonely motherhood could be.

She took to TikTok, asked any local moms to meet up for a coffee and a walk, and had incredible conversations with the 2 moms that showed up. Shortly after, her meetups had 60 moms coming, with moms all over the country asking to do the same.

The Mom Walk Collective was officially launched with 30 cities across the US, and quickly rose to having launched over 350 cities across the US, Canada, and beyond!"

 A November message to subscribers included this insightful note from Jamie:

We all have pillars that guide us through life—things that help us stay grounded and focused, especially on those days when motherhood (and life) feels overwhelming.
For me, one of those pillars is prayer. And as I pray over The Mom Walk Collective, there are four areas that I feel particularly called to focus on…

• First, our mission
  • The Mom Walk Collective was created to help moms find their village, and I'm asking God to lead us to the women who need community the most.
  • The Mom Walk Collective was created to help moms find their village, and I'm asking God to lead us to the women who need community the most. 

• Second, our resources
  • As we continue to serve moms, I'm asking God to guide every decision to ensure that we're serving you in ways that meet your direct needs and bring value to your life.

• Third, our ambassadors 
  • AKA our team of moms who host walks in cities across the country. I'm praying for them to feel supported and recognized for the incredible work they do.

• And finally, the direction of the collective
  • I trust that God is leading us into something big, and I want to remain open to where He's guiding us. I'm praying that I have the ability to serve moms of every background and in every stage of life—regardless of religion or belief.
