Tune in as we chat with our social media manager and fellow Mom Culture mama Julie Khaled.

When Julie left us pre-pandemic to relocate to Arizona in February 2020, we knew a lot would change, but boy, or girl we weren't expecting what she had cooking in her future.  Join us while we catch up and chat with Julie about the expectations and realities of becoming a first-time mama and her upcoming delivery. 

We don't hold back in answering her questions and sharing our experiences with our own first labor experiences. We plan to recap for a second episode to hear how it all went cause one thing us seasoned mamas know is you have to be prepared for anything and everything to change during delivery.

This episode is super late but that's just us winging it and maybe not winning it but always trying to do our best. Sarah and Gina reflect on some of the highs and lows of 2020 and how they survived a year of the unknown at home while homeschooling and raising six children.  It's been a roller coaster but summer is here and fall is on the horizon.  We learned a lot about ourselves, our families and what really matters to us a women and mothers.
